Dave Mustaine's tone on the Rude Awakening DVd is pretty killer
Satch's tone on AWMAWY.
Vai's tone on Touching tongues.
Zakk's tone on No More Tears.
Sikth's tone.
Pepper Keenan's tone on Vote for a Bullet.


I want my tone to be an anglamation of all those.

Andy!

Rude awakening? really? i thought his lead tone was really thin and shrill on that.

Wait till you hear the new Sikth album, i shall say nothing more

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

I agree with kreator and Judas priest BUT, Megadeth has only a GOOD guitar tone on RUST in peace cd. the rest is digital cr@p
lifeless tone
and a lot fizzy without boldness distortion
Q:(

I keep hearing about this band called 'Meshuggah' but I've never checked them out. I see from their website that they've been going for a good few years - what is their most brutal album?

'Nothing' is a brutal album - better production than Destroy,Erase,Improve but if you can get hold of a song caled 'War' it will give you a good idea of how heavy they are!

I've always liked Nuno's tone on pornogrffitti. But his tone of the next album was a bit too dry for me.
Vai on Blue Powder is also a favourite.

[tewboss]

I'll probably get slated for saying it, but I always liked Wes Borland's tone on Rollin (even if the album is dogshite).

Adam Jones' sound on Lateralus always sounds good to me.

David Gilmour on The Wall (everything after sounded too processed)

[carlaz]

And what a tone it was, that '58 tele and the Supro made some magic sounds in Mr Page's hands.

This cuts to the real problem: great players have great tone not least because they're great players!  Hendrix could step off a cloud and hand me his axe and I could make it sound like ass.    On the other hand, Hendrix could probably plug a plank of wood into a Marshall belt-clip jobbie and make it sound good.  :P

So, basically, I need to keep practicing!  :roll:

It was the tele into the supro.

That's what I thought


How about this - Satriani's Cryin' tone was a bloody Zoom - that really makes me hate the guy!! :lol:

[HJM]

David Gilmour on The Wall (everything after sounded too processed)

How can you say that about The Final Cut - that's the most raw tone he ever used!

[tewboss]

I don't consider The Final Cut to be a proper Floyd album, and listening to it there isn't much of the Gilmour magic or much guitar at all (I like the solo on The Flectcher Memorial Home though). The reason is that the band had practically broken up by that point - if you can wind up the normally relaxed Nick Mason then it must have been a bad atmosphere.

[HTH AMPS]

Gilmour's solo tone on 'Mother' is pretty tasty and here's a few other I forgot...

* Townsend on the whole Live At Leeds album
* Hendrix on almost anything, but the start of 'if 6 where 9' is from hell.

 :twisted:

[Eric]

One of favorites.

Ty Tabor- He just has ungodly cool tone. One of his secrets is he keeps the preamp from these Fender active pickups in his rack. He calls it the secret to his tone. I don't think all the downtuning hurts either. He said in Guitar Player that he goes as low as Drop G. That's bowel shakingly low.

[The amazing Phil]

Ah I can't believe I forgot Live at Leeds.... that SG with P-90 tone is to die for, and I should know.

I think Jeff Beck has always had a good tone regardless of what kit he was using as well.

[lepersmeesa]

New Sikth album is gonna be killer, havent heard it mixed or mastered properly, but even for the rough mixes it sounded awesome.

The best album i tell people to listen to, to get into meshuaggh is chaosphere. It hasnt completely gone in to their slow poly's but is more like poly groove thrash ( in some parts ). Listen to New Millenium Cyanide Christ, Stengah and Future Breed Machine. Decide which you like the most then buy that album. You wont regret it.
