[kj] O/T 50 guitar legends

[Darren A. Peace]

I'm with Ade & Alex.

 

I love Skids, and Big Country up to the point where they started doing cover
versions of "Honky Tonk Women". Adamson was a great guitarist; listen to
"Out Of Town" by Skids and "Just A Shadow" by Big Country if you don't
believe me.  He wore some very dodgy clothing during his tenure with both
bands; in fact, I pulled an espadrille off his foot at a gig in Oxford. I
was sad when he killed himself.

There are a million other things I should be doing like sending out cover
letters or re-tooling my resume or scouring the job sites for new
opportunities, but I can't concentrate on that right now, so here is my list
of worthy guitarists (who crucially didn't make the cut on this inane list)

 

 

Great guitar playing -- as far as I'm concerned -- has less to do with
musical chops and more to do with individual style.

 

Geordie K. Walker of Killing Joke

Andy Gill of Gang of Four

Keith Levene of Public Image Ltd.

Hugh Cornwell of the Stranglers

Ron Asheton of the Stooges

John McGeogh of Magazine/Banshees/PiL

Tom Verlaine/Richard Lloyd of Television

Billy Duffy of The Cult

Ivan Julian of Richard Hell & the Voidoids

Daniel Ash of Bauhaus/Love & Rockets  

Wayne Kramer/Fred "Sonic" Smith of the MC5

Stuart Adamson of The Skids/Big Country

Jon Spencer/Judah Bauer of the Blues Explosion

Dr. Know of Bad Brains

East Bay Ray of Dead Kennedys

Greg Ginn of Black Flag

Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols

Johnny Thunders of the New York Dolls/Heartbreakers

Robin Guthrie of Cocteau Twins

Sterling Morrison of the Velvet Underground

Fast Eddie Clark of Motorhead

 

and 

 

Dave Gedge of The Wedding Present (can you play that fast for an entire
show? I thought not).

 

Alex in NYC

I'll agree with that.  (I would.)  Second one was shit.  Not bothered after
that.

 

Still no room for them in a top 50 of anything decent list.

That photo is one of the less ludicrous from a shoot that was published in Q
magazine in the UK. They all looked like total knobs, especially Brandon,
who will always be a little altar boy to me, spiv moustache or no spiv
moustache. I'll see if I can find a link to the pictures, as they're
hysterical.

 

Actually, I quite like some Killers tracks, mostly from the first album (the
second Springsteen-esque one was an abomination), but they don't half look
daft.

I cannot listen to them, ever since the end of 'Control' happened..
They seem to spend half their life suing people, too..

why are the killers mentioned here?

 

they're on the radio & play guitars & looking at that list it's a wonder
McFly aren't in there :)

 

Actually - try & play the intro to Mr Brightside - sounds simple but it's a
- erm - killer.

Actually #2, I think the guitar in that song is fantastic as is the song.
