If Santa Could ???

[ullathorne]

Give you a choice of a Lead and Rhythm who would you take? Eddie, Joe and Mr Vai not allowed.

My choice are as follows.

LEAD= Steve Stevens
RHYTHM=Ted Nugent

Hell i know its a silly thread. But i cant sleep. All excited for chistmas ;)

Ps i have a feelin Mr Lynch might appear in one or two lineups.

[WAR IN D]

Ok, for me...

LEAD = SRV
RHYTHM = SRV

:thumbsup

[Louie Music]

After what I witnessed Friday night, my answer to both would have to be George Lynch.

[scottie]

Jake E. Lee :thumbsup

[Krameration]

OK...you didn't say "Dead or Alive" so:

LEAD = Hendrix
RHYTHM = Hendrix

[Tourpicx]

Well, given that I have to exclude Eddie, Satch and Vai...here is my choice.

LEAD = Yngwie Malmsteen
RHYTHM = Reb Beach

[jeff]

LEAD= Reb Beach
RHYTHM= Me :headbang

[ShredisLife]

Lead = Jason Becker
Rhythm = Jason Becker
Lead2 = Marty Friedman
Rhythm2 = Marty Friedman

[ramico1@cfl.rr.com]

Rhythm : Keith Richards
Lead: Jeff Beck

[unchained1984]

Tough call this one but I reckon I'd have George & Randy trading off one another, if I could add a third it'd be Zakk to give things a bit more growl :D

Sandy

[KramerKiller]

Lead= Andy LaRoque
Rhythm= Blackie Lawless
:headbang :headbang

[atomicholiday]

Tough one, but here goes:

Rhythm: Vivian Campbell

Lead: Jake E. Freakin' Lee :headbang

[kellcats521]

The 2 guys who get the most of my playlists are Jake and George, in no particular lead/rhythym preference. Both are accomplished in either, but I prolly give Jake more props than George in rhythym/songwriting and George more props in face-ripping.

[TommysGs]

Lead - Robin Trower
Rhythm - Kieth Richards

Might be dating myself.

[KramerGeek]

Gary Moore and Phil Keaggy in no particular order

I bet Steve Stevens is your IDOL :D sorry i just had to say that bad joke. Flamenco A-go-go :lol

[jumbowolfe]

Rythym - EVH 1978
Lead - George Lynch

[Lightningdan]

I'm gonna go way off and be different now.

Lead = Popa Chubby
Rythm = Chris Duarte

[axegrinder]

Since I cant have Eddie or Vai that makes it tough and you guys may think I'm crazy but.


1st choice
lead Vitto Bratta
Rythm Jeff Watson

2nd choice
Lead Glenn Tipton
Rythm CC Deville

I watched Kramergeek shred on his recording and ..........Hummmmm maybe he should be in here somewhere

I know my choices are a bit out there but the post took away my first two choices

C.C. Deville....there's one pisser of a guy. Unskinny Bop is a funny song (in both ways) :D He is a great guitarist though in all Poison music....can't say the same for the bassist.....unskinnny bop bassline.....anyone for one note for 3 minutes and 48 seconds???

[atomicholiday]

Wow, another Vito fan. I alway felt he was one of the more under-rated guitarists of the time. But just listen some of his stuff like "Hungry" and he really is amazing. Good call bro! :thumbsup

[Tourpicx]

Vito Bratta from White Lion !! :headbang I forgot about him...he is an excellent guitarist too. :thumbsup Both him and CC Deville were both very underrated guitarists from the last 20yrs. I wonder what Vito is up to these days ? :scratchhe

[adoxtater]

Lead= Andy LaRoque

:headbang :headbang

YA!! Now you're talking!

Here's mine...

Rythm = Dave Mustaine
Lead = Marty Friedman

[Dr. Greenthumb]

Two candiates for me....and this is really hard to choose, so many good choices already...but I was thinking of something a little different... :idea
1. Randy Rhodes :headbang

2. Alex Lifeson :notworthy

[atomicholiday]

I wonder what Vito is up to these days ? :scratchhe

Last I heard, Vito was doing studio production. I don't think he even plays anymore! Quite a loss to the guitar world.
Blackie Lawless was awsome too, and what about Chris Holmes? That dude was just crazy on guitar!
Here's another cool combo:

Rhythm - Tom Keifer
Lead - Mark Kendall

[KramerKiller]

Rhythm - Tom Keifer
Lead - Mark Kendall

That is a awesome combo too! Kendall is a great guy, met him a few years ago.

Its cool that everyone is bringing up some old names, man I miss the 80's

[KramerKiller]

YA!! Now you're talking!

Here's mine...

Rythm = Dave Mustaine
Lead = Marty Friedman

Long live Rust in Peace!! Marty does some superb playing on there, That exotic scale on Holy wars...
:headbang

[axegrinder]

The last thing that I read about Vito was that he had carpal tunnel and couldn't play anymore and was contemplating surgery. It truly is a big loss.


Jack

[aerostar]

kirk hammett and randy rhoads :headbang

[KramerGeek]

I watched Kramergeek shred on his recording and ..........Hummmmm maybe he should be in here somewhere

Thank you for the VERY flattering remark but I assure you that there are others here who could smoke me in their sleep.

They just don't post as much stuff as I do.

[pel666]

L&R=Hendrix
L&R=Wino.....for my musical taste!

Ultimate shred:
L&R=Jason Becker (in his guitargod days)
L&R=Paul Gilbert

I don't think anyone would be able to beat that combo.... :evil

[atomicholiday]

I'm kinda surprised no one had said Malmsteen.

[lefthandedshredder]

Someone did. IMO-Malmsteen is to clished for my liking. He just plays the same thing on every album and you can't differentiate his music. People always bag him out and stuff for doing the same thing....yet again no-one says 'Hey, Clapton, stop playing the same generic blues riff'

I can handle a bit of Malmsteen sometimes...but not a lot and not often. No doubt he is an awesome guitarist with an amazing life story (you guys should read his bio) and it's amazing sometimes to just watch his speed and technique. Anyway what he's doing is kinda his trademark and thing and you don't see too many other people doing Neo Classical shred..!!!

[pel666]

thought about that putting in my vote, malmsteen is fast but lacks in emotional way IMHO. Nevertheless Jason would have kicked any ass if he would have stayed in healthy condition :headbang

[Rippin Rod]

Nice choice Mike... Eddie in 78 chuckin' chords. :thumbsup

I would probably do a little inter-changeable mix and match with Iron Maiden, The Scorpions, and Judas Priest.

[Shwayman11]

lead: slash or randy rhoads
rhythm: zakk wylde or jimmy page

some combo of the 4

[coots13]

lead ....jeff beck
rhythm clapton

for harder edge stuff

zakk lead
slash rhythm


Marco

[ShredisLife]

You are dead on about Becker, bro. He was almost incomprehensibly fast, and he was just starting to get wild. Just imagine if he had been able to keep going. Another 10 years of experience and he might literally have re-invented the guitar.

I gotta put in my vote again for Tony Macalpine. If you guys have never heard the album "Moonbabies" by the super-group Planet X (Virgil Donati - best drummer in the world, Derek Sherinian - Ex-Dream Theater, and various amazing bassists) then you gotta DL some of their songs. "Noble Savage" off of that album will change your life. Tony does shit on that album that makes my head spin. :headbang

[Tourpicx]

I'm kinda surprised no one had said Malmsteen.

Umm...Jeremy. :poke Take a look at post #6 in this thread. What does it say ? :D

That's what too much booze as a teen will do to your short term memory :D
:toast

[DethConsumer]

Dave Mustane - Rhythm
George Lynch - Lead
Chris Poland - Lead

Rob Pagliari - Bass
Neal Peart - Drums

Sorry, I got carried away, going to the Galaxy Theater Friday to see OHM open up for Lynch!!! :headbang

What a kick ass show it will be.... :toast

[Lieutenant Dan]

Damn Jeff, OHM plays near you 5 times a year.
We don't get shit for music here :scratchhe

Lead: Jake E. Lee
Rhythym: Robin Crosby - RIP

Robin wrote so many catchy riffs when with RATT, it was his writing that drove their melodies ;)

[DethConsumer]

Damn Jeff, OHM plays near you 5 times a year.
We don't get shit for music here :scratchhe

They almost play everymonth at the Baked Potato (http://www.thebakedpotato.com/). I would highly advise going there once in your lifetime if you are ever out in Los Angeles. Top notch acts in the littlest venue you will ever party in. I just checked, OHM is playing there next week Hhahaha :lol

[ShredisLife]

Jeff, I want to go to the Baked Potato to see CAB play really bad. Damn ILLINOIS!! :eviltongu

[DethConsumer]

CAB plays there a lot bro. I'm not lying when I said the place is the size of a large livingroom or den. It's definetly the most intiment setting I've ever experienced. :thumbsup

[webbhead13]

I Think there are too many to choose just two :thumbsup
But I would hafta include Malcolm Young for Rhythm :headbang

Bill

[lefthandedshredder]

Bill

Oh yeah man! Another Akka Dakka fan!!! Malcolm is one of the most amazing rythm machines! And he's all Aussie....if i had to select a fingerpicker I would select Tommy Emmanual (check that guy out, he's aussie too and one of only three in the world the be a Certified Guitar Player from Chet Atkins)

[ullathorne]

Malcolm aint no Aussie.
Tell him Sandy!! He was born in Glasgow.

[unchained1984]

Damn right Andy, Angus & Malcolm were born in Glasgow & quite possibly the greatest rock & roll singer the late great Bon Scott was Scottish too born in Kirriemuir. Angus used to wear his blazer with a Scotland badge sewn on & Bon had a couple of Scotland tattoes, Bon always said he changed his name from Ronald to Bon as Bon Scott for him was a tip of the hat to Bonnie Scotland :thumbsup If anyone wants to check out Bon at his finest get a hold of 'If you want blood you got it' live - has some great crowd interaction from the old Glasgow Apollo.

Sandy

[Steve EZ]

Rhythm : Keith Richards
Lead: Jeff Beck

Got my vote :thumbsup

Assuming Keef isn't busy getting his X-mas transfusion :-x

Sandy

SHHHHHH!!!!! Quiet!!!!!! Now you'll go exposing that Nicole Kidman was born in Hawaii and Russell Crowe is a Kiwi.......did I just say that????

[unchained1984]

:thumbsup If you ever listen to the later interviews with Bon his accent was a crazy mix of Scots & Aussie, man he's sorely missed. Bringing in Brian Johnson was such a smart move,next best thing to gettin a Scot in the U.K. is a Geordie ;)

Sandy

[ullathorne]

You know what Sandy. Stroke of Genius getting Brian Johnson in there. I thought no way could you ever go on without Bon Scott, but as soon as you hear the first 20 Seconds of "Back in black" i knew they were on to a winner.

[StageStar]

Ok, for me...

LEAD = SRV
RHYTHM = SRV

:thumbsup

YEEEAAAH :thumbsup
Got my vote for THE GIANT too!
Along with Gary Moore,the Thin Lizzy guys(Robertson-Gorham) and Angus.God,what a kick in the stomach they could be all together!!!

[Pierre]

Lead:
Gary Moore
or
Robbie Krieger

Rythm...toughie...
SRV
Jimmy Page (his accoustic work... WOW)


Of course I'd still rather get my own style but still :drool
