Originally posted by Johnny the Kid View PostYou know my uncle is big into them, and I just never got into it. I like maybe two songs by them, but I could never sit through an entire album. I tried to do The Devil put Dinosaurs Here, but I couldn't listen to it from beginning to end. I don't know why, but they just aren't my vibe.
I'd just start with either Dirt or Facelift. I started with Facelift. Do not start with Tripod, SAP, or Black Gives Way To Blue; maybe Jar of Flies.Last edited by Myaccount876; 07-11-2013, 03:43 AM.

Izzy Stradlin. Looking back I now realize that the guitar parts and tones that made me fall in love with Appetite were all Izzy and not my main man Slash. It seems to me he doesn't get the credit he's due.Originally posted by Rockstar216Musician thinking - nice strat, looks like a 62, that Marshall JCM 800 sounds great, the lead guitarist could use a bit less treble
Bar patron thinking - Wonder if these guys know "Free bird"?

Chris Whitley for alt blues & a variety of other genres... He never really settled on a musical style (or record label, for that matter), but did some fantastic work. He also played backing tracks for a few dozen hits - usually on his Style O resonator.
Start with Living With the Law, but do not expect him to stay in that vein.

Re: Unsung, underrated six string heroes
Really cool thread. A lot of names already mentioned that I was thinking of. Here is who I thought of...
Rocky George (Suicidal Tendencies)
Chris Oliva (Savatage)
Andy LaRoque (King Diamond/Death)
Chuck Schuldiner (Death/Control Denied)
James Murphy (Death/Obituary/Testament/Solo Artist)-His Convergence and Feeding the Machine albums are awesome!
Frank Hannon (Tesla)
Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth) His rhythm playing is tight and precise it's as good as Hetfield's imho.
