Posted by: fatb0t Aug 29 2008, 04:40 PM
+1 to Henrys comment. Jimmy Vaughan is laughable. His brother was STEVIE - WTF went wrong?

What the HELL is going on with the last clip? I can make better sound then that my slapping a dead fish over a untuned violin! Holy mother of Pete!!

Oh man, this is a tough one indeed. Well, I have always appreciate it when someone has a down to earth relationship with the guitar if you know what I'm trying to say. I don't like guitar players that are "trying too hard", so they are the worst in my book, whoever they are.

Great Ivan ... the green empty space in front of the stage is really funny. It's the security line and the crowd goes creazy behind the camera, right? Posted by: Juan M. Valero Aug 30 2008, 08:31 AM

I actually thought it was very clever for guys this young. Give them a chance, they already have a video...not bad...
Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 15 2008, 02:02 AM
they have potential, i admit, but the singer sounds like hes on drugs. oh well, they're only eleven.

Paul Gilbert, Buckethead, Steve Vai...
Just joking lol
In my opinion, Herman Li is one of the worst guitar players, he plays very dirty, he should spend more time with our beloved friend, the metronome =)
Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 16 2008, 09:20 PM
how about our beloved friend the cyanide pill?
if everyone in Dragonforce took one, there would be less noise in the world. 
Posted by: sigma7 Sep 16 2008, 09:28 PM
definitely Herman Li...and jimmy page i just dont like him
Posted by: Emir Hot Sep 16 2008, 10:07 PM
I don't like any of these guys either
Ok for Herman but why Page? He is my hero

Jimmy Vaughan... It's just wrong.
Posted by: Jesse Sep 17 2008, 07:26 AM
Won't mess with the Vaughan's so... ehm. Probably Herman Li or Kirk yeah.... or any of those metal players.
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Sep 17 2008, 11:00 AM
I think Jimmy Page is the worst guitarist out there. He makes me want to scream. 24 hour bends aren't good. Apart from him I can tolerate most people.

I'm with dynamicdaniellelove
"I believe I can feel Kurt Cobain turning in his grave.
that was awful. "
Kurt was on drugs, but atleast he didn't seem so much like that girl
This one made me laught so hard

Posted by: wrk Sep 17 2008, 11:54 AM
... those "24 hour bends" is Robert Plant's voice ... sounds quite similar ..
Page has played some brilliant notes and for that i love him
Posted by: mattacuk Sep 17 2008, 12:44 PM
As a Senior member and moderator I feel I should be positive and say "everyones good, they just need to practice more".
But what the hey,
Jimmy Vaughan is just about the worst I ever heard Amaizing considering I think Stevie is awsome 
Posted by: Shadow21 Sep 17 2008, 07:14 PM
OMG!! LOL
I want to be like him/her when I grow up!!!!
Posted by: sigma7 Sep 17 2008, 07:15 PM
yay finally someone who agrees
Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Sep 17 2008, 07:38 PM
I was preparing to say Steven Seagal,but his not so bad.

Posted by: wollace03 Sep 18 2008, 10:08 AM
i think the solos on the new metallica album (the songs are not bad!) suck - so kirk hammett seems to wanna be part of our bad guitarists site... (he can do a lot better than that uncontrolled wah wah stuff...)
Posted by: fkalich Sep 18 2008, 10:49 AM
Page is the most influential guitarist in electric history, there is no question on that. I don't know the last time I listened to him, but I would say I admire him for what he contributed.
You are making the mistake that many make, often historians. Taking a person out of their context and judging them as if you got into a time machine went back to a stage in 1973 with Jimmy playing stairway to heaven, and pushed him in, and then came back to 2008 and dumped him in front of Batio or Gilbert, and said "see, I told you he sucks".
I think Einstein was a dummy too. He put that silly constant in General Relativity because he did not know the universe was expanding. What a dolt he was!
ditto
edit: or heck, if you brought him back and dumped him in front of Muris or, really and teacher we have here would blow away anyone from that epoch. it is all relative, that I how I judge things. I look at Page in his context, and in that context, he is awfully good.
Posted by: mattacuk Sep 18 2008, 11:13 AM
I must say that Im not a page fan either, I really cant see what the fuss is about! But the point being i guess that everyone likes different things so its all good

ok he may be sloppy but the feeling is definitely there from page which is something some musicians just dont have?
Posted by: fkalich Sep 18 2008, 11:29 AM
because Matt, it is guys comparing apples and oranges. like saying some 2008 Olympic athlete is so superior to say Jesse Owens, the guy that spoiled things for Adolf in Munich. It just makes no sense at all.
It like the people who if you put on a 40's movie classic, all time one of the best movies, and they say "I don't like it".
In the US we have Constitution that allows people to say silly things, they have a right to do so. And that is good. But but because I have to respect the right for them to say it, does not mean I have to respect it, or tell them I respect it. I don't respect everything. I mean if you respect everything, your respect is meaningless. Freud wrote something like that.
ok he may be sloppy but the feeling is definitely there from page which is something some musicians just dont have?
Of course. It was called creative composition. Like how many guys have come up with even a fraction of the ideas he came up with. Those were new ideas back then, he was not just imitating the other metal band. And who wasn't sloppy back then. Babe Ruth was a crappy ball player. See how heavy he was, he was not fast. And besides, all those guys pumped up on steroids now have hit more home runs than he did. He could never play today, he sucked.
Posted by: Jerry Arcidiacono Sep 18 2008, 01:01 PM
Yes! Page isn't a shredder. This is quite obvious.
He wrote some of the best riffs in rock music history.
This is the only thing that matters.
Posted by: TreyDeschamp Sep 18 2008, 01:06 PM
Aw come on man I can understand dragonforce...for some songs and videos a7X.....BUT BULLET AND KIRK HAMMET WTF!?!?!?!?!
Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 18 2008, 01:23 PM
Kirk Hammet is one scale over and over again badly, and the guys from bullet have quite possibly the worst song compositional skills ever. their "songs" are a few simple powerchords and a solo that a five year old could play. they SUCK live, too.
Posted by: Mark. Sep 18 2008, 01:24 PM
Jack White or Herman li. Kirk Hammet isn't really anything special these days. But I can't forget that they got so many people into guitar playing and metal, though they are rather pussies now ^^
Posted by: OrganisedConfusion Sep 18 2008, 01:56 PM
No. I'm not taking it out of context and never do. I'm not a fan of shredders and I judge him against other 70's guitarists and he was terrible. The worst guitarist around that time. He wrote dull riffs and boring plain solos in my opinion. People like John McLaughlin and Ritchie Blackmore are way better than Page round that era. Jimmy Page was just not up to any good standard and that is why I hate him. Compared to modern day guitarists he is even worse. He was just terrible in the 70's and in the 00's he's unimaginably bad.
You are making the mistake that many make, often historians. Taking a person out of their context and judging them as if you got into a time machine went back to a stage in 1973 with Jimmy playing stairway to heaven, and pushed him in, and then came back to 2008 and dumped him in front of Batio or Gilbert, and said "see, I told you he sucks".

Posted by: Disturbed21 Sep 18 2008, 04:07 PM
Herman Li and me when i try to play fast after playing some gothic/doom metal (I really stink after playing that slow 
)

Chills!!! I think Page is great and he does just what you say, deliver feelings
Strikes me how much of the pick sticks out from his grip

no way Gerardo u r the definition of masterclass
Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 18 2008, 10:51 PM
Oh no, your better than everyone we've listed, for sure!
Posted by: sigma7 Sep 18 2008, 10:52 PM
i just dont like jimmy page because of stairway to heaven backwards...no way thats a coincidence
Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 18 2008, 11:05 PM
That's been debunked, several times. honestly, the fact that so many people actually believe that makes me question their intelligence.
Posted by: sigma7 Sep 18 2008, 11:08 PM
go ahead and question my intelligence all u want...if i dont like jimmy page or stairway, than thats my opinion haha
Posted by: Sentenced Sep 18 2008, 11:19 PM
WTF? I didnt listen to bullet live so far, but their songs kick ass and thats not only the opinion of me. Their solos may be not the best or fastest, but i still i cant play them properly, so dont know what this five year old thing is all about - to show how good YOU are? And seriosly if their songs suck so much, why you dont write better ones and get famous? Or are you already?
Sry but i cant believe there are such arogant guitar players on this forum...i am kinda disappointed
BTW: Do you think AC DC sucks because thei use only some chords? I think its important HOW you use chords and everything else.
Posted by: sigma7 Sep 18 2008, 11:24 PM
yay chords!
Posted by: Guitarman700 Sep 18 2008, 11:44 PM
that wasn't directed at you, that was directed at all the Crazy Christian groups that burned Zep's albums and tried to sue them. i still cant believe people act that way in this day and age.
Posted by: Kapto Sep 19 2008, 05:07 PM
I don't want to name a guitarrist as the WORST guitar player if I don't like his playing or music. I don't think it would be fair it's just a matter of taste.
My support for J. Page . It's not that I love his guitar playing but I like L. zeppelin
Here's a funny thing from Nuno B about J. Page
