the 5 hardest guitarists ever.....

[JJretroTONEGOD]

wait a minute, I forgot Chuck Berry!!!

I believe Rich Ward of Stuck Mojo used to be a professional wrestler. Wasn't WWF but it was one of those. Actually I think most of the band started out as wrestlers but a few lineup changes down the line and I think only Rich Ward is the only wrestler left...

Zakk Wylde looks tough, but that's just it...he looks tough. I am yet to see any evidence he actually is tough.

Now then, 5 hardest guitarists, hmmm....

I might have to get back to you on this one, hehe. Requires thought, something I'm not great at...   :lol:

I recon Zack Wylde looks pretty hard, I would NOT mess with him!

But not so hard that he wouldn't run away and stop playing certain cities after bikers took exception to him wearing colours without permission  :lol:

[badgermark]

Me. I once challenged Chuck Norris to a fight. When he blinked, I punched him in the throat. Mark 1- Norris 0.

I did this while playing Back in Black at 200000 bpm. On a scooter. In the rain. at -270˚C. replying to ridiculous posts on the bkp forum. And reading all 7 harry potter books. Br00talz.

Rich Ward is a TOP bloke!  I certainly wouldn't mess with him, though :) Best live act I ever saw, Stuck Mojo, Bonz really knew how to work the crowd.

Also, didn't Phil Anselmo play the guitar, too? I sure as **** wouldn't mess with that mental case.

And the Tele comment in the original post: that's just silly. The only reason your head would come off is because of terrible EQing (although I have experienced this, to a lesser degree than full decapitation, at a recent Bon Jovi gig where one of the support acts was just nasty... Horrible, horrible tone (but that was a strat anyway)).

And I agree, these top 5 things are just stupid.

I know, why don't we start a Top 5 "top five" thread!!

Sigh

Zakk Wylde isn't tough but he's feckin' strong!! He threw a pretty big plant pot (with a big plant and soil in) out of a hotel room window!! He was rather drunk with Phil Anselmo and BLS etc

Oh and +1 on not messing with Phil!

[Nadz1lla]

Phil used to be a semi-pro boxer, so yeah, I'd steer clear too, heh. Forgot he played axe a bit. One of the guys from Lamb of Good is pretty hard too. I remember seeing a clip of them on a tour bus and the singer was being a drunken idiot and kept trying to get the guitarist to fight him. In the end they went outside and I believe the singer went down with one punch, heh.

He was very, very drunk though.

[Johnny Mac]

What about Ronnie Wood? He smacked his guitar around someones head in a gig. Sid Vicious did the same. Steve Jones headed beer bottles thrown on stage at him like footballs.

[Lazy_McDoesnothing]

Ronnie Wood is the hardest guitarist out there?



Next you'll be telling us it's because he plays Kochs!  I'm on to you J-Mac...

[Johnny Mac]

Well not the hardest but seems like a mad thing to do, i mean it must hurt! No Ron's not found out about the cult of the Koch! Silly thread.

Who's the cat?

It was a bad joke about Wood using a Koch to be the hardest.

[Johnny Mac]

There was a Ronnie one too, not sure where though.
