Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

For me it would be
EVH Van Halen- and Fair Warning
Tom Scholz-Bostons first two albums I model my tone after both with a bit of me thrown in
Also Michael Schenker period.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

Hey guys I was just talking to Alexi Laiho ...he plays awesome but his sound / tone sucked and he was a little asshole in person....as a big fan I was diappointed.

My favorite Tones of all time ...Easy


Van Halen ...1978 debut.
Savatage ....Criss Oliva ...on HOTMK / edge of thorns
Coronor ...Mental Votex....TT Baron "Son of Lilith!!!!

That's what kind of tones that me and Cleve go for..

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

These guys dial up my fave rhythm sounds :
Dave Mustaine (Countdown era)
Jeff Waters (old stuff)
It's all about the pick attack.
Latest sounds that I've enjoyed were Kreators new live CD and Donnas Take It Off intro. Yes - you heard it right! [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

RacerX, I don't know much about Avantasia, but aren't there a LOT of guitarists in Avantasia, not just one? It's like a big collaboration that puts any rap and hip-hop collaboration to shame.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

I'll have to give another nod to DeGarmo and Wilton of Queensryche up to the Empire era. Another notable Adrian Vandenburg when he played in Vandenburg.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

1) EVH first few albums (by a mile)

A Distant Second) Tie between loads of folks (Warren D., George Lynch, etc.)

On the smoother side, check out Jeff Beck "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat". His tone is probably mostly in his head/heart/fingers, but wow. Similar comment on Eric Johnson.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

Wow, only 2 references (that I noticed) to Warren DeMartini. Amazing.

Count me in as a 3rd.

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

2) Pantera - CFH & the floods solo on GST
3) In Flames - Clayman & Reroute to Remain
4) Zakk era ozzy

just thought of another:

Dave Meniketti - Y&T

[markb]

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

Gary Moore - Corridors of Power etc.
Eric Johnson
Van Halen - Fair Warning, 1st

other noteworthies for me:
Rhoads - Flying High Again
Priest - Screaming for Vengeance
Gilmour - Animals, Dark Side, Wish
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Voodoo Chile, many others
Clapton - Cocaine
Steve Stevens - Rebel Yell
Brian May - News of the World especially

[taxistationary]

Re: Favourite Guitar Tone

In no special order:

Marty Friedman's lead tone on Rust- im suprised this one hasn't gotten more votes
Randy Rhoads' tone on Tribute - kick ass
EVH's tone on almost any album
Yngwie - solo carrer and alcatrazz
SRV - any album!
Brian May - almost any song
