Muse is really good.
Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.
JOHN 5 is way up there as far as "new" guys go....
Jeff Loomis.....
Mattias IA Eklundh.....SCARY good
I can't think of any new shredders on the scene today that will set the guitar world on it's ear.
But I can't wait for the day when one does. It's been a long fuckin time....
Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
Shred optional ?
Yeah, I do like that Muse guy's playing (and the band), thanks for mentioning him. He's sometimes kind of got a quasi-Edge of U2 vibe they way he uses effects.
And does a 'Guitar God' really have to be a shredder? Angus Young is a guitar god to me, but he doesn't do anything that complex.
Shred is not necessarily required, but definitely appreciated.
Agreed...Shred is not necessarily required, but definitely appreciated.
Eklundh is indeed crazy good, not sure how old he is... I know Jeff Loomis auditioned for Megadeth after Marty Friedman left, IIRC (?) and was told he was "too young" at the time, so he might qualify...
Spoken like someone who can truly appreciate butt-ramming edgy dance music, that happens to employ a pedal-monkey guitar player.
NOT God-like.
Gimme a break. This guy got notice with 2WO as Rob Halford's S and M guitar player: he sucked! AND it didn't sell, proving it sucked.

Band History
Halford and guitarist John Lowery aka John 5 formed the group in 1997, and were signed to Trent Reznor's Nothing Records label. Reznor produced their sole output, Voyeurs, which sold poorly. Halford disbanded the group two years later. Halford has recently expressed interest in releasing the early demos from Voyeurs, which he has described as "tougher and edgier" compared to the final album.[1]
[edit] Discography
[edit] Videography
Halford hired porn director Chi Chi Larue to direct the video for the first single I Am a Pig. [2] This video featured grainy S&M scenes of the band and various porn stars, including a few brief glimpses of Janine Lindemulder, in a sex dungeon. It also incorporates some of the album's artwork into the concept. It was not widely shown for its content, but was not banned.
Coming from someone who couldn't even play the riff to Enter Sandman without arsing it up, your opinion of anything is cuntpletely irrelevant...
Know what? I don't even know how that fucking crap goes!
Slag on all you want - I'm cuntpletely ignorant of Metallica and glad of it.
I never owned one album. They were always the Iron Maiden coverband from Norwalk, just down Rosemead Blvd from me.. I am not a fan.
Keep your ass-ramming fantasies to yourself, dude. Chicks dig Muse too, but like you'd know - Lefty probably has Molly Hatchet on infinite repeat...
On the record, I think Orianthi is beautiful eye candy and does play her solo's
in an 80's vein. She is no Dimebag...
But for a young chick in her 20's I think she is awesome. I didn't see a thread for "goddesses"
so I whacked her in here, then whacked off after watching her unreleased masturbation
video that us Aussies can only get
BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!
If YOU had never played guitar, perhaps your comments might mean something.
Oh, wait......you do not play guitar, and your comments will never mean anything anyway.
LOSER.
What!? :OOn the record, I think Orianthi is beautiful eye candy and does play her solo's

Below comment directed towards Garfuckle.
And yet your ignorance of Metallica didn't prevent you from espousing stern opinions on that band, their music, and bass players in the Rob Truijilo thread.....
Sad But True.
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
"Holier Than Thou"?
Not too sure if this guy is under 35 - in fact I'm almost positive that he isn't. However, Adam Jones from Tool fits 'guitar God' for me. Not a shredder, but has a completely unique stlye, writes monster riffs and uses wacky time signatures to accentaute his music.
Adam Jones definitely qualifies as a "guitar god" - LOVES Tool - but they've been around since what, '90? So kind of out of the running as far as "new".
Yup, I know - it's amazing how a lot of bands I consider as 'new' have suddenly got five records. God I hate getting older.
Another guy I was thinking of whose stlye struck me when he first hit the scene in the late '90s was Daron Malakian. Again, not a shredder by any means but he had, like Dimebag, a huge metal tone, wrote big riffs and just brought it. Plus, all of the Easter European influences in the melodies of that band made for something unique, a voice that was theirs and only theirs. Is he a God? Maybe not - for all of their success, I don't hear much of System Of A Down in modern bands. A bit like Faith No More before them, perhaps they were just too 'out there' to be assimilated.....
And just think, you're one of the KIDS among us..imagine how the rest of us feel...lol I mean, unlike some here, I'm not going to be getting AARP mags in the mail for a couple more decades
As for Malakian - they're known as "System of a Clown" in LA... and seemingly not taken very seriously. He's an OK guitarist, might be just under 35 though...
Wow, I'm surprised they don't get more props - they could headline arenas here. To these ears, they were going something very, very different as a band. They reminded of Bad Brains in places, but mixed with really odd time signatures and Eastern European melodies. Perhaps the blatently left-wing stance grates on some.....
Further proof that the term 'guitar god' does not actually require you to be a shredder, is Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I recently got a bootleg DVD of him at the CBS Records Convention in Honolulu in March of 1984 with Jeff Beck coming out to jam with him on some encores.
Talk about on fire! Stevie's performance was jaw-dropping, to say the least. Absolutely mind-blowing!
No shred in sight!
I don't know - wouldn't you consider someone with as ferocious an attack as SRV - I mean he beat the shit out of his guitar, and his vibrato was beyond authoritative...a blues "shredder" at least for lack of a better term?
Not a shredder but I love Jack White's tasty tone and riffs.

Jack's general pedal set up include a NYC made Big Muff fuzz pedal, which is a huge part of his driven, gained up sound you hear here. He also uses a Digitech Whammy and I believe a Boss compression pedal and maybe a few various others.
