Are you saying that "In Hiding" is easier to play than something like a Sonic Youth song?

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Technically? Maybe. Does Sonic Youth have far more feeling? Yes.

Technical ability is only half of being a good guitarist.[/QUOTE]

This is the truth.

I have every Sonic Youth album, and I firmly believe that Mike McCready and Stone Gossard have more feeling than Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Every Sonic Youth album? Impressive. Most hardcore fans don't even.[/QUOTE]

They're pretty accesible to download. I'm not a hardcore fan and I have 22 of them.

Not so much feeling as it is originality and innovation on SY's part.

I am a hardcore fan. To be fair though, I don't have the [I]Kill Yr Idols [/I]EP, but unless it has amazing guitar work, I will stand by my statement that Pearl Jam has the better guitar team. Not only in technical ability but in terms of emotional expression.

Different strokes for different folks. It's [I]totally [/I]subjective really and childish to argue about.

It's not childish to argue about. That's why theres a forum: so people can argue.

Not when it's something as subjective as who you think is more emotional. If we were talking about influence or impact on the world of guitar playing, then we could argue. Who the fucck are you to tell me Pearl Jam's guitar work is nothing special? Who the fucck am I to tell you Sonic Youth's guitar work is nothing special?

To each his own. Personally, I don't like trying to get a rise out of people and stir **** up.

Then you'd better stop having opinions which are different than other people's, because that's the only way out.

Your opinion is sh!t. ;)

I'm mad Sublime is popular, because they don't suck.

I really like the guitarist from Dredg....but his name escapes me. Omar's been mentioned many times already, so I'll say he's a BIG fave of mine, as is Mike Enzinger of Incubus and Johnny Greenwood from Radiohead.

also: whoever plays guitars for Sigur Ros and GY!BE.

you should definetely take a look at smashing pumpkins. and a few rhcp.

Bernard Sumner when he was in Joy Division has the best style, but thats just my opinion. I dont even know if Joy Division is considered Alternative. Post Punk was the alternative in the late 7o's though, right?

larry lalonde from primus, he had lesson with joe satch and he's just got a crazy weird sound. he's actually really good, but choses to play weird stuff which is cool.

listen to tommy the cat, frizzle fry and southpound pachyderm

The Clash?
