Kind of a different slant to the "2nd best guitarist" thread below..

[Robert Burns]

All the name I've been thinking of have already been mentioned.



KK Downing is an incredible guitarist imo. Besides his great playing he can write some wicked stuff!



To me he's clearly better than Kirk. His riffing is awesome and his solos although not as technical as Kirk's (if Kirk's are any ) are always better sounding. The middle solo of Master of Puppets, the guitar solo in Nothing else matters are first to come to my mind, both of which are great great guitar solos..

And of course Dave Mustaine, Marty and him were the best guitar duo of all times

Agree about James...plus he's got to remember all the words while playing
that dead on attack!

Robbin Crosby - "slow & steady". Great "feel" to his solos.

You got it Bro!!! King could hold his own, no doubt about it!

Another +1 for getting The Scream, Let It Scream. That CD is one of my all time favorites. Bruce really shines on that. He has killer vibrato.

[Bri]

Let It Scream, one of my favorites as well. Wish Corabi would have stayed with The Scream instead of joining the Crue.

How bout Marty in Cacophony

Marty was the main dude in Cacophony I remember reading somewhere Marty saying something like "that was when I decided to form a band with Jason.."

Yeah Jason is a better shredder but Marty is the best

[Mr Metal]

Steve Vai on tour with Frank Zappa.

+1

Malcolm Young

+1
the only player that outdoes Marty is Schenker (when he's on).
nobody else even comes close in terms of melody, phrasing, attack, vibrato, all the good stuff.

Have you ever heard Uli???

Have you picked up The Scream's CD? It's available for free download on http://www.racerxband.com but it definitely shows that Bruce was more than a Paul clone. An excellent album, a must have in every CD collection.

Bruce is like Paul - with some soul and feel.

Dickey Betts. Duane and Dickey are still the best rock guitar duo ever in my book.

That's a great pair there as are there current replacements Haynes/Trucks
