Best of the Best

Who's the best Guitarist from every style of music u can think of - Metal,Death,doom,NU,prog,hardcore,hard rock,rock,blues,70's - anything rock

Metal- John Lowery (formerly of Marilyn Manson). He has also played with David Lee Roth and Les Paul (the man, not just his guitars) and just recently released a solo album entitled "Vertigo".

Death- Jean-Claude Van Damme. Yes, the greatest white martial artist plays guitar. He uses a Buddha amp, just for reference. I don't think he plays metal, but no other guitarist is as badass as he is so I think he earns the 'Death' category award.

Rock- Rhoads

Alt Rock- Petrucci

Attitude/Drinking award- Yngwie

Most impressive guitarist to watch- Batio

well how do i hear him see him or whatever - i'm up for a lauph -

Its hard to say whos the best guitarist when it comes to any genre of music because every artist arranges their music differently. And theres a difference between being able to shred like a maniac and make music sound so good it brings a tear to your eye BUT

blues id say Eric Clapton or B.B. King. (who doesnt automatically know tears in heaven when they hear it or the thrill is gone). listen to riding with the king if youre a blues fan

classic rock id give it to Jimmy Page (stairway to heaven is such a good god damn song) and Led Zeppelin rocks man.

country i hand it to Mr. Guitar Chet Atkins (tenderly and imagine are great songs)

bluegrass Earl Scruggs is mindblowing although he plays a banjo

Yngwie can shred like a maniac.

And if you think Jean-Claude's the best white martial artist, you havent seen George W. get to drinking and tangoing with Saddam in his holding cell.

jean claude van damme.... never thought I would hear that... but um... for metal... I can't think of their names right now, but the 2 guitarists for the band "lamb of god" I love that band. also, the guitarist(s) for opeth are pretty darn good too

Saddam would break him in half. Bush is soft, Saddam is an animal.

Yeah,saddam has had plenty of 'sparring' sessions with his own various captives i'm sure(with their hands tied up).

Rock-angus/rhoads(can't decide)

Metal-Hmmm...Andy Larouche(King Diamond)

Death-Muhammed Suicmez(the current undisputed king of death metal.No one even comes close to his skill or songwriting...no one)

And van damm isn't crap for a martial artist.Blood sport is one of my favorite movies,but van damm is just a ballet dancer.And the real 'frank dux' is a phony as well.He has no military record e.c.t.

You have to admit it's much better exercise than sitting at a desk all day.

Jean could kick all y'all critic's arses.

Give him a Charlie Horse on his right leg... without it he's useless.

Go ahead, count left leg kicks vs right leg kicks next time you watch one of his movies. It's downright comical.

LMAO!

Van Damm is no fighter.He is an actor in good shape...heck,I could wreck him in a real encounter.He would try to square off or something as I strike first and straight blast him into a full shred.

He would be shouting "Matai!" or something as I destroy his eyes and disfigure his face.

Oh yeah,'Best of the best' is a good movie too.Part 2 was as well....havn't seen that in ages.If only tae kwon do actually did that in real life.

uh huh... and I could beat up jackie chan blindfolded with my hands tied behind my back, and with roller skates on my feet... while he is given all the weapons he could ever want

Saddam probably gets fed a loaf of bread every couple days or so after his daily shock therapy treatment. Bush probably hangs him upside down and uses him for a punching bag.

Jackie Chan (actually born Chan Kong-sang) is a fascinating guy. He removes live land mines from third world countries for charity and he could whoop up on anyone here easily even though he's over 50, but I don't think he plays guitar.

Chuck- Jean would tear you a new one. I very much doubt he fights irl like he does in movies.

I think IM the best guitarist

Heh,thats my point...he dosn't know how to fight in real life.I would 'hope' he didn't try any movie stuff otherwise I would die laughing.If he made any of his signature sounds I would croak!

I would bet money that if a mugger/random attacker went after van dam,he would push,shove and throw punches from his shoulder or mabey a roundhouse to the assailents ass.Actually,I can picture him trying to run away and the attacker grabbing his shirt taking him down.No time to prep for the 'match' or think about form...when it all hits the fan,van damm would be a victim...

And jean couldn't tear anything except his pants while doing a split...

I very much doubt he would try to fight like he does in the movies, but he's fricken huge, and I'm positive that he at least knows how to throw a punch, and trust me, one punch from that guy and you are done chuck...

I'm sure he can throw wonderful,strong punch...from the waist or shoulder.What makes you think he could hit me?Because I'm not in the movies or don't have trophies or awards of some type?I'm not a recognized fighter?
