Favorite Guitarists?

My favorite guitarist ever was and will always be Nasty Suicide of Hanoi Rocks, bet that was a hard one to figure out. His playin jest influenced me so much, I knew I wanted to play from the first time I heard him. Of cource I had much other guitarists that I really liked too but his playin was so good and much underrated, in my opinion. Alright. ceya [img]cool.gif[/img] .

Being that I'm more a riff guitarist than a fingerer...I first picked up guitar after hearing ANDY TAYLOR of DURAN DURAN...and also his playing on the Power Station. He made me want to start playing guitar. Then, I heard Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme....and he blew me away with his playing.

yeah, you mentioned some good guitarists. I play Rhythm Guitar and sometimes, very rarely, Lead. [img]cool.gif[/img] . I have much musical influences too but Hanoi pretty much shaped everything about my playin and the bands I've been in have been Hanoi-type bands, ya know, very glam but still have an edge.

A pretty varied collection really, taking in everything from rootsy rock n roll thru glam to early thrash metal.
The following are ones that inspired me to play guitar all those years ago;

Slash (GNR)
Keith Richards (Stones)
Kristy Krash Majors (PBF)
Glen Buxton & Michael Bruce (Alice Cooper)
Andy & Nasty (Hanoi)
Brian Setzer (Stray Cats)
James Hetfield (Metallica)
Kerry King & Jeff Hanneman (Slayer)
Blackie Lawless & Chris Holmes (WASP)
Snake & Scotti (Skid Row)
Zakk Wylde

They were the main ones when I was starting out, although over the years many others inspired me in one way or another.
