the most understated and underestimated guitarist of all times
« on: January 20, 2009, 06:07:46 PM »
personally i think that Paradise Lost lead guitarist Greg Mackintosh is actually one of the most precise living definitions of COOLNESS (in a strictly musical sense...)... he's not the one that made me buying my first electric guitar but it's for sure the one that made me play the way i do(i know it's not exactly a compliment for him but you've got the point, i think...)

am i the only fan out there?

He is pretty much the last guy that I expected to see in here, but when I saw him I agreed immediately. So, yeah. Correct on all counts!

Well it would be rather dull if you put his name in the thread title!

Looks like an ESP of some sort.

I think Richard Z Kruspe is cool in rammstein and Emigrate. he is the epitome of playing simple stuff but effectively.

it's a Mayones Regius 6 LH custom with (strangely enough) a single EMG (81, i fear...)... i'd take an H-H version with far more appealing pickups (BKPs...), but it's a veeeery sexy guitar, with neck-through construction and a very minimalistic look

I think Richard Z Kruspe is cool in rammstein and Emigrate. he is the epitome of playing simple stuff but effectively.

absolutely yes. Rammstein is more about brute force, but his playing in emigrate is very interesting...

:lol:

to be honest i never thought about sir Paul as a guitarist... i know he is, of course, but i have the mental picture of him with that weird violin shaped bass guitar... and always preferred Harrison!  :)

Mayones! I knew I recognised the shape and headstock, I just couldnt think of the name of those silly 11-ply-neck-making-yet-bad-review-having nutters.
