Body Count

"This next record is dedicated to some personal friends of mine. The LAPD..."

Punk, Thrash, AND Gangsta? Sweetness. East Coast Rock=drool.

John's guitar skills weren't great.

Way off. John was a great rythm and lead guitar player. Listen to some of the demos towards the end when it's just him and his acoustic in the Dakota-he had a great feel. The riff in 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)' that he created kicks a**. 'Yer Blues', there are a million examples, and simplicity of a riff doesn't equate to lack of talent. Is the riff in 'Satisfaction' complex? Not in a million, but it is still a great riff. end.

all i said was that he wasnt great, i enjoy his guitar playing but in comparison to george's playing he was the lesser guitarist. he was still a good guitarist though, no doubt in mine nor anyone elses mind

Speaking of which, I think George is rather uncelebrated outsde the Beatles community.

I wouldn't necessarily say uncelebrated, but not as well-known as he deserves: Richard Thompson.

Anyone said Django yet? 3 fingered magic. ;o) Mr. Rheinhart that is.

I thought of Django but didn't know if he fit the "good but relatively uncelebrated" definition.  More like incredible but not as well known today as he once was.  Actually, Richard Thompson doesn't fit the "good" label for me--something below Django but pretty high up there.  

Lowell George is also better than "good" but not nearly as celebrated as he deserves.    

Tommy Emmanuel. Again. lol. Tommy Emmanuel using ONE guitar to mimick the sound of thunder, rain, nature in his tribute to the aborigines -- "Initiation" : here on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7G7i6bIwm0&search=tommy%20emmanuel

I think Jimmy McCulloch  of Wings was awsome and very underrated. He had some killer guitar solos in Rockshow. I wish more people would realize how good he really was with a guitar.

East Bay Ray is the most underrated guitarist I know of.

Oh, I like Social Distortion, but are you gonna try and say that Mike was a better axe grinder than Ray? Just listen to Holiday In Cambodia, Kill The Poor, or Pull My Strings. I mean, the solo on that last one tops a Van Halen solo! Seriously.
