Underrated shredder thread.

[Ben...]

Then I say Vinnie Moore. The guy has plenty of great songs and can shred.

I'd like to reiterate the awesomeness of this dude.

Geoff Tyson / T-Ride

Satriani student, in a band that was waaaay ahead of it's time.

there you go

one of my favorite players of that era. he was far out in front.

too bad T-Ride imploded the way they did. I wanted more albums from those fucking guys.

by the way, I just heard the Blotted Science stuff, holy shit that guy is great, the whole band is just insane. love em!

[85 San Dimas]

I go for Marty McFly. I mean, he started the whole freakin' thing at the "Enchantment Under the Sea" Dance. Way ahead of his time. Hey if we're talking Skolnick and Becker.... Marty deserves a shout out. Another good one would be the Karate Kid.

Kidding aside.........Amongst those not previously listed my guy would be: Reeves Gabrels. The guy can play anything, and used a Steinberger in "Tin Man". Also don't forget Yngwie though I'm sure we all tried to.

[Jacksons Shred]

And?

That is by far some of the sloppiest guitar playing that I have ever heard. Especially from a "professional" musician. His song writing is generic and bland as well.

[Megadeth79]

Well I don't agree especially about generic songwriting part (if you listen to the Blackbird album). Whatever

Also I would like to add the name: Richie Kotzen.

[Ben...]

That is by far some of the sloppiest guitar playing that I have ever heard. Especially from a "professional" musician. His song writing is generic and bland as well.

Have you ever seen that "Bet You Can't Play This!" video with those Dragonforce idiots? They can out sloppify anyone in the playing department.

[horns666]

OK I found my list that compiled 6-7 years ago!!!

Mark Tremonti is the antithesis of a "underrated guitarist" in every way, shape and form...FUGGUMS!!!

Bill Z Bub

[Cleveland Metal]

Thread killer....

[SEEGERMANY]

Yea ,this topic became a "who's popular" versus "who's underrated."

[SEEGERMANY]

Kick his ass John!

[SEEGERMANY]

Kick his ass Bill!

[SEEGERMANY]

FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

[horns666]

Yea ,this topic became a "who's popular" versus "who's underrated."

It always does..

Hey, if you're gonna do a "Underrated" guitarist thread.. fuggin' do it right!!! I don't wanna fight..I don't feel good. I got da shitz!

Actually, my intention was not to "kill" but to educate. Just cut and paste any name you see and BINGO! Youtube/Google is a great invention! We didn't have that when I compiled that list..now we do..

There is members here that absolutely slay guys like Mark Tremonti, including our yound bro Jackson Shreds, Gryphon, and John and I can hold our own..that's a fact of life. But Bill, Creed was so popular and awesome..yeah, so is Britney Fuggin' Spears. Jason Becker, Paul Gilbert, Jeff Loomis, Uli Roth, and ALL the players I listed is never on the radio..they must really suck balls!:think:

[horns666]

Shit! I included Warren DiMartini on my listed..I'm sorry for that. I think the JCF knows who he is. Goddamit, I slipped up!!!

Hey, how many threads do you think we have of George Lynch, Warren D, Randy, and Eddie Van Halen. Try a search of any of those guys and see what pops up..wowee..and it's the same EXACT conversation, until I show up and talk about my pud!!!

Everytime I look at the artist thread, there's a new thread like.."so any Lynch fans here"...jesus titty fuggin' christ in heaven with naked cherubs combing his almighty beard already..WTF??!!

There' about FIVE members since 2001 that started Uli and Jeff Loomis threads here...maybe. The rest is Marty Gilbert or Paul Friedman...and the occasional Vinny Vincent, because he is the best of the best. Or, people post guitarist that sound like your watching the fuggin' Weather Channel. This IS the JCF right? Jackson / Charvel guitars..the mighty axes chosen by many a 80's shred warrior..yes?...No?...The Weather Channel..is this thing on?..hello....hello...Creed...you fuckers!

Love,

Poppa Bubz

[Cleveland Metal]

This guy's probably underated.... And for good reason...
