Guitar World's Top 100 Metal Guitarists!! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

ABlairican Pie · 01-31-2004, 06:36 PM

Everyone disappointed with Rolling Stone's Top 100 guitarists list?? Well, a REAL guitar magazine, Guitar World has put out in their latest issue, the TOP 100 METAL GUITARISTS OF ALL TIME!!

Let's start at the very bottom and work our way up:

100.Nick Bowcott of Grim Reaper

Remember "See You In Hell" back in 1984?? Nick Bowcott played lead guitar and sang. Now he promotes Marshall amps and writes for Guitar World. I believe he's the second from the right in this picture.

Wait--a "tribute" to Grim Reaper? Does this mean they're not the real deal??

I guess they did a decent job with it. I read the magazine. I personally thought Eddie Van Halen deserved to be #1. I mean come on, he revolutioned guitar playing. The first time, I heard "Eruption," it just blew my mind.

99. John Kay and Michael Monarch of Steppenwolf

The two guys who gave us "Born to Be Wild" and "Magic Carpet Ride" over 35 years ago. "The Pusher", "Hey Lawdy Mama", "Move Over," "Rock Me", "Jupiter's Child", "Sookie Sookie" and "Ride With Me" are also great songs. John Kay has formed a new band under the Steppenwolf name, and Michael Monarch does solo projects. In the photo, John Kay with the sunglasses is second to the right of Goldy McJohn (whom I got to talk to on the radio 20 years ago), and Michael Monarch is in the dark jacket holding the guitar.

These guys rocked my 7th grade world in the mid-70's!!

98. Michael Angelo of Nitro. These guys are fast, fast fast, they play loud, and they have album titles such as "Hot, Wet, Drippin' With Sweat", and "O.F.R." This guy's a shredder and he's very creative with the four-necked guitars. Guitar World critics have ripped the hell out of them, but who listens to critics?? He also makes guitar instruction videos that are designed to make you incredible and SHRED-able.

To shred, of course, is to play fast and wild. Like we've forgotten.

How high was Randy Rhoads ?

DianeChambers87 · 02-11-2004, 10:30 PM

Brian May?

ABlairican Pie · 02-11-2004, 11:49 PM

97. Akira Takasaki of the Japanese metal band, Loudness. He is considered the Japanese Eddie Van Halen.
Remember "Rock and Roll Crazy Nights" from USA Network's Night Flight video show in 1985? "Rock and roll crazy nights, you are the hero!"

Probably more than a little, if Ozzy had anything to do with it.

Actually #4.

What happened, Captain ABlairica, aren't you going to continue the countdown? I like reading what you have to write.

phoebe7165 · 02-13-2004, 05:44 PM

Oh, and I haven't seen this issue so I don't know who's all on the countdown, although I heard on the radio who the top 5 were.

I haven't forgotten it, I've been focusing on my rock nd roll thread, but I'll get some more in, sometimes it takes me a while to find the right photos here!

96. Alexi "Whildchild" Laiho of Children of Bodom, the hellacious hellcats from Helsinki who play some of the heaviest death metal on the planet--who are coming to "*FINNISH* you off!!!!"

ABlairican Pie · 02-14-2004, 06:55 PM

95. Sammy Hagar, who is pictured here with Eddie Van Halen. He has been a big solo performer, before with, and after VH. Is there talk that he may return to Van Halen?
One of my favorite songs by him is "Red", as well as "Heavy Metal". Great animated movie.
