[subcaptain]

A lot of you younger folks may not be aware of Steve Hillage, check out this vid, the quality isn't the best but live footage of him is very rare. A superb innovative guitar player much admired and hailed as one of the greatest guitar players.

[Zeppelin_Maniac]

Is there any doubt? C'mon now ;-)

This thread should actually be called "What's your 2nd favorite band". LOL!

[Jstickley]

[Zeppelin_Maniac]

No I haven't heard. I'll have to google it to see what's up.

[AceFrehleyGuitarGod]

Just as my name says it's not hard to guess who I like the most, KISS and Ace Frehley. But than again I have really taken a liking to The Scorpions in the past few years noe that my friends in true Power Metal.

BTW as most of you may know by now Van Halen is doing a re-union tour except it's not an actual re-union tour, David Lee Roth, Eddy and Alex are togather but Eddy's son Wolfgang will be playing Bass for them.

[noob_saioke45601]

KISS and Ace Frehley. But than again I have really taken a liking to The Scorpions in the past few years noe that my friends in true Power Metal

i second that. also kiss has like more gold records and pats than any other band in history but i think thats just because they do every type of music almost. from metal to love songs kiss does it.

AC/DC is #1
KISS is #25

1. Gypsy Jazz in the Django Reinhardt style(wiki him if you dont know but you should know who he is...) :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U6v-w7jxcI&mode=related&search= (new version)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6rBR0ujRmA (original version)

2. Classical Guitar(spanish stuff mostly, nothing beats Segovia...maybe Mangore?) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyX71BrsCHY

[SoulShiner]

Guitar players I like, hmm...hands down Doc Watson. If you like finger pickin' he's your man. I have the upmost respect for him - amazing what this man has done in his sightless lifetime (went blind as a child). If you've never seen him live and get a chance to do it, you won't regret it, he's a legend in the world of blugrass...

Check him out:

[stevieraywannabe]

SRV:cool:
Now and probably forever

[Bigsnake]

my favorite band is the red hot chili peppers

Same here.

And John Frusciante is awesome!

All of them together is just an amazing combination.

[tgherghetta]

The Living End all the way!!!!!!

Chris Cheney is awsome on guitar

[Marshall Stax uk]

My favourites tend to depend on mood, so

Relaxed mood: Pink Floyd
In your face mood: Pantera, Iron Maiden, Megadeth
Rip your face off mood: Motorhead or that Break Stuff track by (and I’m going to regret this) Limp Bizkit.

Although overall I would have to say that Pink Floyd was my favourite for both guitar and voice.

[dewd]

Man! Look at all the classic rockers here!!! Gotta love it.

Don't have a favorite band - rather a few I like better than the rest.

The Who (best live show for senior citizens in the world)
The Beatles (their music stands the test of time)
AC/DC (Hope the do one more album and tour before Brian's voice goes)
Guns and Roses (Axle is a moron - they would be the top act if they got back together)
Black Sabbath (Ozzfest is free this year)


Bands I like live but not so much recorded:

Toto (the really do rock)
Stealy Dan
Styx
Fleetwood Mac

[bobthecow]

My favorite bands are the Chili Peppers and TooL.

My favorite solo artist is John Frusciante.

And for a band that isn't too well known, Green Jello

[ruby_II]

U2 (The early years were simply TOP)

[AxeBattler]

Hmmm, That's a tough question...

Number one for me would be 'The Boss' and the E-Street Band, followed up closely by the likes of Little Steven, Machine Head, and the Rolling Stones. :)

[scottdog]

Mine is
James Blunt:D

[Harley]

As much as I hated him in person, my long-time favorite singer/musician has been Steve Earle .

Warning to others...never meet your heroes.

[Mariano]

I really like Blink 182, but they split , so i like how does Tom signs in blink 182 (dont like angels and airwaves) and like how Mark and Travis use to sing and plays (i dont like +44 neether) and then like Nirvana, so i like Foo Fighters, love their songs (specially Times like theese, acoustic version, and now i play it :P)
I too like Some songs of Arjona a latin singer... and some Green Day, Sum 41, i use to love Yellowcard, and many other bands... hehe as you see mi music style its not pretty defined yet :)

[Jamie]

My two favourite bands are Weezer and Muse.

Weezer are incredible when playing live, but Muse are outstanding.

I like both bands to much to say one is better then the other.

[SleepingToDream]

My favorite band/artist seems to change every month. Right now I can't seem to get enough of John Mayer, so I'd say him right now.

[Quadcam79]

My absolute favorite if I really HAD to pick a band I guess I'd say Metallica.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlDk58Wgfy4 - Absolutley awsome preformance. I love how James seduces the audience. Gives me the chills when the audience sings "And nothing else matters!" A "must-see" if you like metallica ;)

After Metallica I'd say Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Guns'N'Roses ++

[jam10]

Pearl Jam is my favourite band of all time and Eddie Vedder is my favourite singer of all time. The best live show ever and every album rocks. They are not all about fame they are about making great music and their fans!
