Necrophagist, Onset of Putrification

Not so keen on the songs (less still on the "Lyrics" and "Titles", if they so be), but muhammeds tone on there is STUNNING.

Not a very original choice but... Live at Leeds,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g30nwCpyaA

My older brother bought the album in late 70s and it's what got me interested in learning guitar.
The strange thing is, this is my favourite tone and I've never owned an SG w P90s !?

Right now - Matthias Jabs on the Scorpions Blackout & Love at first Sting LP

Michael Schenker on the early MSG albums and UFO's Walk on Water

George Lynch on Dokken's Under Lock and Key and maybe Back For the Attack

Mick Mars (Motley Crue) on the original (Indie) Leathur label release of Too fast For Love - so raw

Mark Kendall on Great White's First Bitten and Twice Shy albums

great tones jonothan :)

Brian Setzer on the Rumble In Brixton live album.  i'm sure he's had many great tones over the years, but this is the only one i have!  love it.

 :o  I think I've got that on DVD, but never watched it.  I must dig it out, God knows where it is.

I should have mentioned Brian on my 'list' - as I have the excellent  Brian Setzer Orchestra " Dirty Boogie" C.D. ( even the cover is cool ) - and heartily recommend the Brian Setzer Orchestra  'Live In Japan' DVD.   8)

Double crossing time - Clapton Bluesbreakers (jtm45 an treble booster)
Queen - Live at the Opera - Death on 2 legs (Vox ac30 and treble booster)
Pinball wizard - Pete Townsend and a Sound City - crunchy yet meaty
Gimme a bullet - ACDC
Appetite for destruction - Slash and the mythical SIR

If I was pushed I would say Claptons tone was my favourite and i don't care what anyone says he used a treble booster to get that sound  8)
