chinesewhispers: Best Guitar Work In Post-hardcore?

Trebor. 10.07.13	all the scramz ones you posted are my faves but yeah not post-hardcore fave post-hardcore guitar is prob DGD
Wadlez 10.07.13	Glad to see 18 on here... One of my favorite guitar records.. not really post-hardcore though
Chortles 10.07.13	Nomeansno
tlhk 10.07.13	tl;dr but atdi and drive like jehu probably are the best that are certainly post-hardcore that i can think of. a lot of these are borderline and very good as well
chinesewhispers 10.07.13	Nice rec on Cavities, guitarists are def talented.
XingKing 10.07.13	Obviously a ton of these aren't post-hardcore but a solid list of bands with technical skill
Vespiion 10.07.13	Wow, nice list.
KotoFtw 10.07.13	If you like post-hardcore with good guitars check out As Cities Burn's first album.
chinesewhispers 10.07.13	I'm not too strict on genres, I know I've got some math rock, skramz and other stuff, but most if it is somewhat similar so I decided to count them just for sake of discussion.
chinesewhispers 10.07.13	As Cities Burn were amazing, Come Now Sleep is one of my favorite albums.
KotoFtw 10.07.13	Yeah CNS is my favorite album of all time.
XingKing 10.07.13	I see no A Lot Like Birds. Get on that shit. Also, I fucking love the Murder City Devils and yet no one on this site knows 'em. They definitely aren't technical in the slightest though
climactic 10.07.13	48 is definitely up there
suppatime 10.07.13	pmtoday
chinesewhispers 10.07.13	Okay, I've listened to two ALLB songs and I'm already hooked. Pmtoday is great as well
sniper 10.07.13	fantastic list bruh, so glad to see taken on here loma prieta are pretty fucking sweet, esp last city, have to agree with treb that will swan is a standout in post-hardcore. drive like jehu, fugazi, and now that i think about it, 70% of this list are also awesome for different reasons.
owen 10.07.13	Cool
PortraitsOfDecay 10.07.13	Hot cross
Dolving999 10.07.13	Dance Gavin Dance, easily.
Mort. 10.07.13	hot cross or dgd.
dimsim3478 10.07.13	Will Killingsworth (Orchid) Brian Kanagaki (Loma Prieta) Bart (Birds in Row) Justin Trosper (Unwound) Kristofer Steen (Refused) Ian D'Sa (Billy Talent) Nick and Clayton (Touche Amore) Jim Ward (Sparta) Chris and Nate (Polar Bear Club) Max Adams (CityCop.) Cody Votolato (The Blood Brothers)
Mort. 10.07.13	also I love that this is this guys second list and hes only posted 5 comments yet its got featured before decay could get a single one of his featured.
SCREAMorphine 10.07.13	I know a lot of people will hate to see it but 16 deserves to be on here, nice list man
Cygnatti 10.07.13	um this list would be nice, except it isn't.
JustinKing 10.07.13	I love Alexisonfire's guitar work on their first two albums. The Fall of Troy and At the Drive-In are definitely up there, too. I actually like every album here. Especially 62.
Smial 10.07.13	none* of them
kmace 10.07.13	Got just about all the ones I could think of. Good list.
joshuahuntkc 10.07.13	A Lot Like Birds.
Skoj 10.07.13	This isn't a competition. The Fall of Troy's Thomas Erik is hands down the most talented guitarist on this list.
CosmicPie 10.07.13	Damn. There are a lot I still need to check out. Massive list.
iwasnvrurbf 10.07.13	La Dispute's Somewhere At The Bottom... had much better guitar work than Wildlife
Treeman 10.07.13	I didn't see citycop on here and theyve got my favorite guitar work on a post hardcore album i think. But nice list
Inferis 10.07.13	Thomas Erak and Justin Beck are probably my favorites.
YakNips 10.07.13	83 ye
sniper 10.07.13	people think thomas erak is better than he is. he basically ripped off hot cross and rush. i could play most tfot stuff when i was 16
Azn. 10.07.13	sorry you're just talented sniper
Emim 10.07.13	if you're going to use such a loose (read: nonexistent) definition of post-hardcore, then citycop
witchxrapist 10.07.13	BEST POST HARDCORE MOSTLY METALCORE AND SCREAMO RECORDS wtf
sniper 10.07.13	metalcore and emocore are both technically genres of post-hardcore though
witchxrapist 10.07.13	emocore lol
Hospital 10.08.13	This is a great list, i'm going to check out some of the bands I don't know on here. edit: my username is derived from #44
sniper 10.08.13	come on, screamo is absolutely a subgenre of post-hardcore
dsroka005 10.08.13	i've always loved fugazi's guitar work on their last 3 albums
Cygnatti 10.08.13	Screamo is a form of posthardcore. But list sucks anyways.
sniper 10.08.13	this list is filled with good guitar shit wtf
TMobotron 10.08.13	wow this is a fucking list and a half. bookmarked.
sniper 10.08.13	list maker: you should definitely check out loma prieta if you haven't, they would be right up your alley judging by this list
chinesewhispers 10.08.13	Would I.V. or Last City be a better starting point?
sniper 10.08.13	from a purely guitar standpoint, last city, although i prefer IV for it's vitriol and generally crushing feel. i would recommend all of their stuff since last city though.
witchxrapist 10.08.13	EMOCORE LOL
witchxrapist 10.08.13	vocals on our lp is your ep are fucking good, loma's always been awesome tbh
sniper 10.08.13	SKREMOCORE
FourthDyke 10.08.13	i like my post-hardcore how i like my women, i like men
sniper 10.08.13	i like my metal how i like my women black and cold as ice
DrHouseSchuldiner 10.08.13	Nomeansno[2]
FourthDyke 10.08.13	would i like music?
stuck_in_decades 10.08.13	Note: pretty much only ''modern PHxC'' in the vein of mostly DGD and TFOT. Thomas Erak (The Fall Of Troy) Will Swan (Dance Gavin Dance) Eddie Marshburn (Lower Definition) Erik Pitluga/Ross Horvath (A Voice Like Rhetoric) Mansur Zennelli/Michael Barrett (Closure In Moscow) Sergio Medina (Stolas/Sianvar/Inherit The Sky) Aric Garcia/Shane Gann (Hail The Sun) Nick Depirro (The Sound Archives/Night Verses) Ben Wiacek/Michael Franzino (A Lot Like Birds) Billy Silvers/Alec Doyle (From The Makers Of) Cuinn Brogan (PMToday) Ben Lopez (Jacobi Wichita)
porch 10.08.13	some of the bands are good but yeah slight variations of this list get posted every week and theyre usually so disparate as to be useless
SIMBOLIC 10.08.13	porch hit the nail on the head
porch 10.08.13	"in a land after hardcore" [flash to footage of husker du playing reoccurring dreams] "...100 bands dared to experiment" [close up of emery]
SIMBOLIC 10.08.13	lol
porch 10.08.13	cracked me up when the guy up there said their guitarist is the most talented on this list
SIMBOLIC 10.08.13	What hep says is canon around these parts
Potating 10.08.13	Quite a bit of metalcore on this list... At least it's decent. I'm definitely surprised by the lack of thrice though, both the Artist and The Ambulance and Vheissu especially have some fuckin' sick riffs, more so than Major/Minor.
chinesewhispers 10.08.13	I'd agree with that, same with the comment about La Dispute, but I like when guitarists shift from more flashy/technical stuff to more focus on mood and restraint.
dathvada321 10.08.13	some of the bands on this list are not post hardcore. great list though
porch 10.09.13	'post-hardcore is whatever we made it to be' - sputnikmusic
chinesewhispers 10.09.13	What if we just chose an album to edit out and pick a more fitting album to replace it?
tcat84 10.11.13	all you people that laugh at the emocore genre... it is what they called screamo before it was screamo... bam
tcat84 10.11.13	i'm that old...
dimsim3478 10.11.13	Wow, that's cool to know.
Pennywise_M 10.11.13	Outrun The Gun - Rooms That's more on the Metalcore side though. Still good guitars and one hell of a drum
tommygun 10.11.13	fugazi yo
DetectiveStabler 10.13.13	Hum!
Azn. 10.14.13	(the fall of troy doesn't suck)
drasticaction74 10.14.13	Justin Beck (Glassjaw) Derek Kiesgan (Bear Vs. Shark) Guy Picciotto/Ian Mackaye (Fugazi) Will Swan (Dance Gavin Dance) Micheal Weiss (mewithoutYou)
drasticaction74 10.14.13	Beck has the most impeccable swagger of any guitarist I've ever seen or heard. his parts are cool as hell and he's got mad style. he's my fav
Yubanme 10.15.13	Gospel blows all the others out of the water
RFO13 10.15.13	The first two coheed and cambria albums (SSTB, and IKSSE:3) have great leads and riffs coupled with progressive elements. They definetly belong on this list and are worth checking out if you have not already.
chinesewhispers 10.28.13	How has nobody mentioned 52 or 59? The shit they do with their guitars is insane. 92 was also instantly striking
Mort. 10.28.13	didn't even realise 59 was on this list and ive 5d that album. yeah the guitar work on that is pretty damn good. dense as fuck
chinesewhispers 10.28.13	So far the recommendations have been: As Cities Burn, A Lot Like Birds, Pmtoday, Loma Prieta, Billy Talent, Citycop, Alexisonfire, Lower Definition, A Voice Like Rhetoric, Closure in Moscow, Hail The Sun, Night Verses, From the Makers of, Jacobi Wichita, The Used, and Coheed and Cambria. Which of these should I add, and which albums should be taken off?
Rice303 10.28.13	I know it's a pretty obvious choice and it's more metal/mathcore, but Botch- We Are The Romans has brillient guitar work
Mort. 10.28.13	definitely take off 98 and 88. both of them have pretty normal guitars from what i remember. put on a lot like birds and alexisonfire
SeaAnemone 10.28.13	baffles me the myriad of shit on here intermixed with really good stuff
Mort. 10.28.13	oh and take off 67. not known for its guitar work at all
chinesewhispers 10.28.13	@SeaAnemone which is why we're doing renovations, haha. What should I replace 67 with?
porch 10.28.13	i suggest deleting any further mortimusprime suggestions
ShadowRemains 10.28.13	^
Mort. 10.28.13	hey, a lot like birds and Alexisonfire were my only suggestions. theyve got some decent guitar work on them, better than touche amore
Mort. 10.28.13	and they were the suggestions out of the comment he gave, not my own personal favourites
chinesewhispers 10.28.13	C'mon guys, less bashing, more improving the list from where it's at right now.
Mort. 10.28.13	which is what im trying to do. list is pretty good already, i just don't get why touché amore, pianos become the teeth or birds in row are on here. out of those other suggestions, id replace touché amore with Jacobi wichita
chinesewhispers 10.28.13	Ight, you don't necessarily have to go by those suggestions, you can rec whatever. Haha As long as it's decently received I guess
SeaAnemone 10.28.13	renovations? how about just establishing your own taste through your explorations of the genre bruh? plus, I already did it better ; ) http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=83975
witchxrapist 10.28.13	Cavities has some of the coolest freaking guitarwork. A Lot Like Birds and The Fall Of Troy too of course.
chinesewhispers 10.28.13	Just tryna get a consensus brah Meet Me in St. Louis, Armchairpolitician and Decahedron all look promising
SeaAnemone 10.28.13	did you really listen to all these albums? when you get a consensus you're necessarily going to get results that are really diluted and dumbed down with all the shit clouding the releases that are agreed to be of better quality ...
SeaAnemone 10.28.13	^ says someone who doesn't know how to find good post-hardcore
TheSpirit 10.28.13	As We Draw and Euglena have some pretty intense guitar work
SeaAnemone 10.28.13	what'd you think of Lync bro? and what do you think of Nomeansno?
Mort. 10.28.13	you've heard every album on this list yet you think post hardcore is whiny bitch music? are you fucking retarded?
chinesewhispers 10.28.13	Holy shit, I made the list and there are maybe 7-8 I haven't heard. If you've listened to every album here then you deserve a medal
Mort. 10.28.13	that's fair but i fail to see how most post hardcore is whiny bitch music especially this list. how come you have listened to so much then? i cant imagine id ever have the time to listen to that much
porch 10.29.13	i'm listening to the cows now and i endorse the guitarwork and the bugling
ShadowRemains 10.29.13	skele go take biersack's dick in the ass
witchxrapist 10.29.13	Ganna be real DGD has dope guitars.
chinesewhispers 11.06.13	So after learning some TFoT and DGD, I gotta say Will Swan takes the cake. At least out of those two Some Blood Brothers is hard as fuck though
immortalizepain 11.07.13	Gotta say DGD and A Lot Like Birds at a technical standpoint. But for me, the best guitarist in post-hardcore is Justin Beck. He's good at tones and equipment. And damn, I want to learn what music theory he has taken up or what bands inspired him, but his riffs are downright crazy yet groovy. Even Coloring Book EP has a sweet chord tone. And I also love Thursday's bass and guitar tones at their last album.
chinesewhispers 11.08.13	Oh hell yeah dude, Beck never plays anything crazy, but the guy's a genius when it comes to versatility
DurzoBlint 11.08.13	I approve of this list, good stuff
discovolante 11.13.13	Cowpers, brah.
Skreemo 11.15.13	City Of Ifa - Black Pyramid. Nuff said
Freddey 11.15.13	Letlive. not post whatever there post shit
drasticaction74 03.21.15	Adam Tanbouz from He Is Legend tho
chinesewhispers 03.21.15	Oh shit I forgot about this list. And yeah, he's got some cool leads
Oc3anic 06.13.15	You need to add Burning Airlines' Identikit to this list. If the person who ever made this list sees this, give the album a listen. I promise you will like it.
Ninjask 06.13.15	Stop
Rawmeeth38 06.22.15	This is an awesome list
Oc3anic 07.24.15	98 SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN OFF! TAKE IT BACK!
Ocean of Noise 07.24.15	RIP chinesewhispers :(
harddrughartman 07.26.15	96
SharkTooth 07.26.15	nomeansno's bass
DoctorDoom 07.26.15	Four above all.
JoeMcSatanBalls 09.10.15	Omar and Erak
Captain3 09.21.15	1, 3, 4, 5, 8 and 13 is really all you need
Captain3 09.21.15	40 only on the weekends
chinesewhispers 02.28.16	Not to necro my own list but thanks peeps
CaimanJesus 02.28.16	12 is life
Supercoolguy64 02.28.16	add today is the day and this list would be perf
Sevengill 02.28.16	Gospel for the win
JigglyPDiddy 02.28.16	List is a beast.
brainmelter 02.28.16	24 and 38 :DDD
Emim 02.28.16	Emery m/
eatdirtfartdust12 02.28.16	Epic list bookmarked af
stuck_in_decades 02.29.16	Oh yeah I remember this list.
Stereochrome1 03.16.16	AFI's Sing the Sorrow
JigglyPDiddy 05.14.16	No Means No, Glassjaw
Storm In A Teacup 02.21.17	Blood Brothers and Fear Before the March of Flames provided me expectations for my future post hardcore and Hopesfall and BoySetsFire completed them. But Thrice, Thursday, Fall of Troy, AFI, The Used, Receiving End of Sirens and others all have great guitarists.
Storm In A Teacup 02.21.17	honestly if a post-hardcore band doesn't have a great guitarist that brings the melodies then they aren't even a good post-hardcore band. and the crazier they get with their writing the better they tend to be.
brainmelter 02.21.17	list still rules
Storm In A Teacup 02.21.17	Hum electra 2000 is sooo good too
chinesewhispers 02.25.17	Aw throwback to when I gave a shit about being a good user
Flugmorph 02.25.17	funny im just listening to 21. props for 100 tbh, their early stuff is underappreciated
chinesewhispers 02.25.17	For sure, Infinity Land is prolly my fav nowadays
Flugmorph 02.25.17	this is probably the best list ive seen for post-hardcore dude, good stuff, even if its a lil older by now
frozencarl 05.09.17	51 is the goat
G0atC0re 11.01.17	I still come back to this list all the time. If by 'best guitar work' we're talking technical/complex/challenging/original/phenomenal guitar work. Then 48 wins hands down.
constantchange 09.01.22	taggy
