Cliche Post Schiche Post
I decided since I don't do shit with this anyways I'm gonna do a couple of cliche posts just to kickstart my interest here again. And who doesn't love list? So I'm gonna do something with guitarists; this is not a best of or Top Ten or anything, just guitarist I think are really good and deserves some credit, or more credit, or guys who did something innovative or just sound fucked up. UP Up and Away
1. Jimi Hendrix-- Oh sure he tops every list but there is a reason for that. He's the single greatest guitarist ever discovered. I'm sure there is a possibility of some old guy in Arkanebraska doing better that James but I doubt it. Listen to "Killing Floor" from the BBC Session and figure it out and all while he's singing too.
2. Greg Ginn -- He's probably the worst guitarist I've ever heard honestly. He's constantly hitting wrong notes and playing out of tune and he lacks the ability to solo completely. But he wrote some of the heaviest/bad-assed songs there ever were and he's a huge dick.
3. Ron Asheton -- The shit he's doing on Fun House is completely undescribable. He perfect combination of reverb, wah, distortion and drugs will never be reached again to match that oh-so-perfect tone. Plus the riff to "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is so easy but it sounds so epic.
4. James Williamson -- Two guys from one band. Ilegal? Maybe but what? His playing sounds like a pit bull that's been caged up and starved for a long time. His guitar strings were made out of barbed wired, at least it sounds like it.
5. Roland S Howard -- Any one who could hang with Nick Cave in the early 80s goes on this list.
6. Eddie Hazel -- Listen to "Maggot Brain."
7. Robert Johnson -- It sounds like three guys are playing on some of his main tracks and main RJ dick sucker Eric Clapton (who, of course is considered the greatest living guitar player) had to cut out stuff to keep up.
8. Duane Allman -- His session work with Aretha, King Curtis, ect ect was enough but listening to "Whipping Post" off of the Fillmore East is a life-changing experience.
9. Pete Townshend -- He wrote killer songs and all but his rhythm playing is the best there ever was and any one who calls him a shitty lead player is just too far up Jimmy Page's ass to follow.
10. Keith Richard -- The Man. The Junkie. He did every type of guitar and did it well. Acoustic, Electric, rhythm, lead, blues, rock, country. Plus he was one hell of a song writer if you didn't know.
This list was kinda shitty so do better assholes. And I'm sure I left tons of cool people off but I need to study.
