UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread

Sigh...oh dear

My post misunderstood. My fault since I always think most will " get it"

I believe a typical 20 something would see Mr Nugent as musically irrelevant. That all that  was meant. Good grief!

For those who aren't guitar players/admirers...never mind(as Emily would say)

If Nuge says it's so, I'll trust him on this issue. I'm not a big Van Halen fan and I like more soul than flair on the electric guitar but no doubt Eddie is admired by many.

Alvin Lee.

Frank Zappa.

Phil Manzanera

What EVH represents is the R&R guitarist who came out of the dying Classic Rock  period(which doesn't go beyond mid 70's or so, IMO) and introducing  things truly revolutionary that just about ALL Rock guitarist moving forward, acknowledge.

I quickly lost interest in VH after their 2nd LP. Saw them in 78 when their debut came out and they were doing their first rounds of arena concerts not long after doing Pasadena backward parties and Holliday Inns and the LA clubs.

Ted Templeman produced  the debut LP-Anyone who also listened to early Montrose knows the BIG SOUND of those albums. No audiophool LP needed.

Blues Breakers/Cream era Clapton remains my favorite electric blues guitarist. Those recordings are the reason I bought an electric and hunkered down to learn to play. Ardent.Mellifluous..
