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.
I KNOW I'LL BE ALONE HERE BUT MY VOTE FOR MR BOBBI VANDEN III!!! (THE ONLY AND BEST OF THE GLAM METAL AXEMANS WHO PUT HIS TECHNIC ON THE SERVICE OF BUBBLEGUM GLAM PUNK (THE PERFECT MIXTURE FOR ME)!!!
