Most Underated Guitar Players

[Racerx2k]

Actually, I should add Phil Collen to the list..He can throw down..he just doesn't do it in Def Leppard, he holds back and plays for their formula that works for them..but the bro's got game!!

You'd never guess, judging by the Sugar-Coated-Pussy-Pops formula that they beat to death. I was beginning to wonder if there was even a set of BALLS in that band!

[Thwap]

Martin Barre
Pat Travers
Dave Meniketti
Doug Aldrich

Matthias Jabs

[Norton]

"In a Darkened Room"

[jtr]

Jan Akkerman.

[Shibs]

Alex Lifeson is IMO

And... yes, Saxon rock. I saw them in Germany in the early 80's (military brat) and another band that has some great guitar players is Krokus!

[Shibs]

Oh... John Sykes and Reb Beach!

[DC_rhoads82]

Joe Stump, Reb Beach

[Endrik]

Mick Ralphs

[Mikernaut2]

Jim Matheos from Fates Warning and the guys from Redemption. They can all throwdown but they find a good balance . Not just showing off but serving the song and still pulling off interesting licks and solos.

Mick Ralphs

+1

I was listening to some 80's era Bad Company last night and was thinking, "I should add him to the underated guitarists thread."

[Megadeth79]

Mentionned a couple of names before, but from the new generation I can add Jon Donais from Shadows Fall.

[5074charvel]

Devil wears Prada.So does Steve Vai.

Post of the year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lord Of Repulsion]

hmm i think Angus Young, Øystein Aarseth, and Roope Latvala are fairly underrated.
