Fisherman Mike Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 and me....I've been extremely lucky enough to see some of the worlds top guitarist's over the last 40 odd years...Halen, Gilmour, Slash, Clapton, Carlos, Gibbons, Frampton, Rutherford, Harrison, King, Moore and Vai amongst them...May is certainly up there in that bracket...like his politics or not...at the Mercury tribute concert at Wembley on Easter Monday 92 he was simply sensational...God was it really 23 years ago...I'm feeling bloody old..

Harrison is the pick of the bunch for me Mike, others could play faster or maybe had better technical skills, but George played with feeling.

poontang Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 one member said brian may is below average That was me. In the interest of balance I have just endured some of his playing again on YouTube, and to be fair my eyes have been opened. He's truly ******* awful.

TIGHTCHOKE Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Given the theoretical chance to see any of the "BEST" guitarists, Brian May would not be in my Top Ten! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keg Posted January 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee play well together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chady Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Agreed... They proberbly just have respect for each other! Just because they have opposing views doesn't mean they don't get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 So you missed out on Jimi Hendrix then? Sadly yes...he died in 70 I went to my first concert; BB King In 74 -75.. Would have loved to have seen Hendrix..I've got quite a collection of his recordings My Late Dad saw him at the Isle of Wight and also took my eldest Brother..He also saw Dillon pre electric and Muddy Waters in 58...he said Waters was the most Brilliant Guitarist that ever lived and Hendrix was a close second. I remember asking him what he thought of Slash once he said " Slash isn't that another word for **** " so don't think he thought that much of him ! Harrison is the pick of the bunch for me Mike, others could play faster or maybe had better technical skills, but George played with feeling. I wouldn't disagree with you.

I know it's bass,but I've been near the front at a Rush concert,watching Geddy play guitar,the keyboard and sing at the same time was very impressive.
