Underrated guitarists

[Philly Q]

Richard Thompson, both as a guitarist and as a songwriter

+1 for that, totally agreeing with myself here

I like Richard Thompson, but don't listen to him very often, I must admit.

[Mr. Air]

I agree with JacksonRR on Larry LaLonde.

Tom Morello. I know he's famous and all, but he doesn't get the horns he deserves.

Malcolm Young - Tightest rythm guitarist ever. Doesn't Angus get all the credit?

He does. Malcolm is the diesel of the band. Keeps things going.

Are we allowed to like acoustic guitars here? Anyway, Adrian Legg

I feel like I've let everyone down

Zakk Wylde  :roll:

Being ironic?

absolutely... but i do think that his current activities make us forget just how good he was at the beginning when he first joined Ozzy

+1. No Rest for the Wicked and No More Tears show great guitar tracks. I later bought one BLS record because I read somewhere that this was Southern Rock influenced - man that writer guy surely never heard true Southern Rock or he mixed it up with a different band of Zakk.

Speaking of underrated guitarists, the late Hughie Thomasson of the Outlaws and later Lynyrd Skynyrd belongs here, too; so does Ed King.

Cheers Stephan

Yeah, sounds more like it.

[MrBump]

Richard Thompson, both as a guitarist and as a songwriter

Definitely.  A legend.

Interesting anecdote involving Malcolm and Geezer Butler in Tony Iommis autobiography.  Apparently when AC/DC were supporting Sabbath on a tour of Australia, Geezer and Malcolm didn't get on - they got into a drunken fight and Malcolm pulled a knife of Geezer.

Could have been the other way around though...

[Loomer]

Malcolm's a wiry, lean little bar-steward. He looks like someone who'd pull a knife, I'll say that..

As for the topic, my choice would be Leon Macey of Mithras. I absolutely love that guy's work.

[Ratrod]

Actually it was Geezer who pulled the knife. Ozzy jumped in, called Geezer a c*nt and told him to go to bed.

I don't think Malcolm is underrated anymore.

Bonnie Raitt might be underrated.
