  3. He's not on the list but Jason Becker is insanely good. Though he can't play guitar anymore because of ALS :(

    www.jasonbecker.com

    Check out the Serrana Arpeggios in the video section on his site.. Or any of the songs off his solo album "Perpetual Burn".

  4. Awesome band, they have their own style you know? Very original.. Even though I think a few guitar solos wouldn't hurt haha.

    My favorite song is either, P.L.U.C.K, Mr. Jack, or Ego Brain. Well.. actually I like them all... :laugh:

    Hypnotise should be out soon to, and Mesmerize following 6 months after that. I can't wait.

  5. Lateralus by Tool

    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.

    red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

    lets me see.

    As below, so above and beyond, I imagine

    drawn beyond the lines of reason.

    Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

    Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

    Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must

    Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

    Black then white are all I see in my infancy.

    red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.

    lets me see there is so much more

    and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.

    As below, so above and beyond, I imagine

    drawn outside the lines of reason.

    Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

    Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

    Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

    Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.

    Reaching out to embrace the random.

    Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

    I embrace my desire to

    feel the rhythm, to feel connected

    enough to step aside and weep like a widow

    to feel inspired, to fathom the power,

    to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,

    to swing on the spiral

    of our divinity and still be a human.

    With my feet upon the ground I lose myself

    between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,

    I feel it move across my skin.

    I'm reaching up and reaching out,

    I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.

    And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.

    We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

    Spiral out. Keep going, going...

    And I'll add Tool's version of No Quarter as well, seeing as we already have the Zeppelin one.

    :)

    Lock the door, kill the light.

    No one's coming home tonight.

    The sun beats down and don't you know?

    All our lives are growing cold, oh...

    They bring news that must get through.

    To build a dream for me and you, oh.

    Locked in a place where no one goes.

    They ask no quarter

    They have no quarter.

    Lock the door, kill the light

    No one's coming home tonight

    It's getting colder (7x)

    Locked in a place where no one goes.

    Lock the door, kill the light

    No one's coming home tonight

    They bring news that must get through.

    Dying peace in me and you

    Locked in a place where no one goes.

    We have no quarter

    We have no quarter

    We ask no quarter

  6. their drummer is quite amazing, on the dvd, his 8 minute moby dick solo is probably one of the greatest moments in rock history. I question placing them in the heavy metal genre though. I only really ever liked kashmir, cause i dont like the dudes voice  :/

    Jimmy Page used Ernie Ball Super Slinkys, which are 9-42's.

    I'd have to disagree with him being the greatest drummer though, I'm kind of biased towards Mike Portnoy and Dream Theater. ;)

    Was almost tempted to get a Les Paul like his but then I found DT and ordered an Ernie Ball Music Man John Petrucci 7 string about a month ago (still waiting) haha.

    Loved the DvD they put out though, Page has an awesome feeling to his solo's even though technically he's not the best. :laugh:

    I hope you are not implying that shredders are techincally the best. Ha metal shredder guitarists are so bad. They are so unconfident about playing good sounding notes that they just play anything as fast as they can. Ernest Hemingway said say what you will with the least words as possible. It will be the most powerful. The solos of Duane Allman and Page for instance are superior in that sense. Shredders play with no feeling. If you anyone want to hear a real guitarist, listen to folk guitarist leo kottke. He blows all metal shredders, and keller williams for that matter, out of the water. Listen to Jack Fig by Leo Kottke and you won't listen to metal again. All one guitar - no looper, I've seen him play it live, and he burns calories. And as for technically the best, after Kottke comes all the jazz improvasational guitairsts, as I'm sure you know that is the most difficult guitar in the world. Then we have virtuoso classical guitarists that play nylon strings. So really, shredders suck. :)

    Whats wrong with being skilled at an instrument? All of the sudden theres no feel? Huh? Theres a difference between death metal "shredders" that play fast just to play vast (Alexi Laiho is that one exception though), and true virtuoso's like Vai, Petrucci, Malmsteen, Gilbert, Becker etc.

    Jason Becker's work is some of the best guitar out there in my opinion, theres alot of fast sweep picking type stuff, but theres tons of feeling.

    And if you want to talk technical ability, yes I do think "shredders" are the best. Because I'll put it this way, Petrucci can play what Page does, but I honestly think Page couldn't do what Petrucci does. (and I'm Zeppelin fan btw) But I will check out these Jazz guys, sounds cool. But I can say I will never stop listening to metal, because it kicks a$$. :) Though, really, its pointless argueing whose favorite guitarist is better, because its the internet, and it doesn't matter, because no matter what you say, it isn't going to change how good a guitarist is.
