HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 3m 24d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 24/09/03 01:36 AM Share Posted 24/09/03 01:36 AM Here are some that would knock the socks off a lot of artists previously mentioned..Sorry dude but IMHO Bruce Kulick, (KISS), kicks Ace Freehley drunken arse. Kiss still rock though (old or new).OK, my list of guitarists I really hate, as they rock beyond belief.George Lynch: Dokken/Lynch Mob)Alex Skolnick: Savatage (Ex Testament)John Petrucci: Dream Theatre (One of the best guitarist anywhere, won most original artist a couple of years back)Jake E Lee: Badlands (Ex Ozzy Osbourne).Zak Wylde: Ozzy Osbourne.Eddie Van HalenGarry MooreJoe SatrianiShall I go on?Then there are the 2 Gods IMO that are "Resting In Peace"?Chris Oliva: Savatage (My Idol in guitar playing, was :tears: a brilliant speed player).Rhandy Rhoads : (Of course).Shall I go on? I could forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is now the production manager at ACP for mags such as Motor, Wheels, Street Machine and SPEED.Dr Denis was a doctor as well as a pilot in the USAF.He is a muscle car freak and wrote a song about Woodward Avenue in Detroit. SD455 was the song (pity it's about a TransAm) but it shows that he loves big tyres, big gas bills and big horsepower! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thinks it's X factor and the singer was Blaze Bailey (who I didn't like that much at all). That songs kewl. I know most of the bass line for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bara Member 183 Member For: 21y 7m 14d Location: Gold Coast Posted 24/09/03 11:10 AM Share Posted 24/09/03 11:10 AM KISS RULEAs a (former) drummer and songwriter in a rock band here on the Goldie some time ago (not tellin), my music is pretty varied.I can't believe no-one seems to have got on their knees and thanked the most ingenious guitarist......Jimi Hendrix. Dude that bloke rocked.Also Australia's best electric guitarist.....Phil Emanuel... His bro gets the publicity, but Phil blows everyone away with his electric axe.I've seen KISS unmasked, masked, unplugged, and masked again. And yes, I even got into the face painting thing myself back in the late 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
