For the flaminko of course. Just attempt to play "Spanish Caravan".

This is a Classic Rock thread n00b.

He's not an amzingly skilled guitarist, but that's just one aspect of music.

How does someone like Angus Young make it on a 100 best guitarist list?

[QUOTE=badmoon349]How does someone like Angus Young make it on a 100 best guitarist list?[/QUOTE]
I dunno, pop culture maybe?

im a big fan of angus young. i think angus young was amazing at what he did, unfortuntely he always stuck to the same pattern and style. so he never actually grew as a guitarist. compared to guys like Gilmour, Hendrix, Page etc etc who expanded their playing to many different styles and also made their own style, angus young always did the same thing.

ii can't believe eddie van halen was 72nd...

[QUOTE=Perverted Pixie Nudist Colony]ii can't believe eddie van halen was 72nd...[/QUOTE]
meh he doesn't do it for me.

Angus young is to repetitive, he's good at what he does but that seems to entail very little.

ya i dont like van halen either. i respect his talent, but he just isnt what im looking for in a guitarist he seems to be too much flash, not enough feeling.
plus he said Page plays guitar like a two year old with a broken hand, which find terribly rude to say about one of your guitar elders.

better like a two year old than like a robot.

van halen definitely shoulda been further up, he's one of the only guitarists of that time to create his own style. (Along with Randy Rhoads)

Robbie Kreiger has alot of cool songs. I'd say he's definitely a great songwriter, not necessarily a technical player.

No to be a dick, but if you can't hear whats great about Neil Peart, you have absolutely no musical awareness.

Listen to Xanadu, O Baterista, 2112, listen to his shuffle on Subdivisions, pretty much any track should be able to showcase his skills.

His creativity, syncopation, limb independance, precision, all are nearly unmatched.

Ya but his style was show off. It's boring if you ask me.

Gadd > Peart!

[QUOTE=badmoon349]How does someone like Angus Young make it on a 100 best guitarist list?[/QUOTE]

His stuff is fun to listen to. What more do you really need?

[QUOTE=rock not roll]His stuff is fun to listen to. What more do you really need?[/QUOTE]
I find it only being fun to listen to for pump up stuff, but for that it's good.

[QUOTE=RockAndRoll]Gadd > Peart![/QUOTE]

Harsh words. Prove it.

paranoidd: i have really only heard a couple songs by rush, closer to the heart being the only one i have listening to enough to learn the song. all of their songs i have just focused on learning the guitar parts, i havent really focused on the drumming parts.
and when it comes to picking out good drumming, i probably dont have very good ears anyway. my brother drums all day long so i have tried to learn to tune it out. ;)

[QUOTE=Paranoidd]Harsh words. Prove it.[/QUOTE]
well for starters Gadd > all.
Listen to aja, be shocked and awed at gadd's amazing ability. Then realize he sight read that.

Warning: heavy breathing, fainting and death may occur.

Listen to fifty ways to leave your lover (best groove ever and I can play it :D)
this man has the best feel ever.

Listen to his stuff on drummerworld.com, Like I said Gadd > all.

who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.

edit- while we are talking about drummers...what does everyone think of mitch mitchell? if i was a drummer, i would wanna play like him.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.[/QUOTE]
He's drummed for alot of people. But he's more of a freelance guy than a band member. He has being playing for clapton for a while now though, he tours with him and played on me and mr. johnson, possibly some other of his albums too, I don't know.

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.[/QUOTE]

Same, us non drumming folks only know the main ones.

oh cool, do you know any songs that i could identify him with?

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]who does Gadd drum for? pardon my ignorance.

I heart Mitch Mitchell.

Meh, I'm sure there are tons of better drummers than Peart, however most great drummers get involved with Jazz, due to it's improv and tricky timing tendencies.

I don't know if Peart could do Gadd, or vice versa.
