Axemen Deathmatch

The solo on NEM sounds just like Kirk, unless you mean the acoustic one. James is a bad ass acoustic guitar player.

James plays the electric solo on Nothing Else Matters. Watch the video.

I think a fair match would be:

Eric Clapton vs. Rory Gallagher

What do you blokes think? Who's the better?

Rory but I'm starting to appreciate Slowhand more than I used to.

I"ll go with Rory, the only Clapton I really enjoy is "Blind Faith" and "Cream".

Yeah I like Clapton in small doses but Rory, I can jam anytime. My vote is with Rory.

Wow, this is a tough since I'm a casual fan of both at best, and that's being pretty generous. Based on what I actually know though, Gallagher.

DC, you should give Irish Tour '74 a chance for starters...

Yes I agree 100% that is one worth having for sure.

I'm not familiar with Rory at all, so I can't pick in this one.

I've added it to my list, I'll probably download it later on tonight, might be a little while before I actually have a chance to listen to it.

Andy Summers vs The Edge


For me it's Andy no contest. Not even close.

Fuck The Edge. We get it bro, you have a delay pedal. Move on

Andy Summers is a great guitarist

I've never really liked U2. So Andy Summers wins by default, I suppose.

I much prefer Andy Summers, but I think The Edge gets a little too quickly dismissed as an "effects guy", there is more there if you pay attention.

The Edge also seems like a really cool guy, watch the film "It Might Get Loud" with him, Jimmy Page and Jack White.

Man why did this thread die? This thread was awesome.

How about
Peter Frampton vs. Joe Walsh?

With both of these, I don't know anything outside of the radio hits... but based on that only, I'd go with Joe Walsh (I'm also semi-familiar with James Gang).

Though, I do love the shit out of the song "Layla", but that's mainly due to Duane Allman.

Joe Walsh is awesome. I hate the Eagles, but when Walsh was on board they improved dramatically.
And Frampton gets dismissed as being a lame soft-rock pretty boy, but he rocked the house in Humble Pie. I'm going with Frampton for my choice

Also neither of them were on Layla

I'll pick Joe primarily for his songwriting ability and his amazingly catchy riffs.

I'm going to go with Frampton. What Special Guest says is true!!!!!!!!

Shit, yeah I was thinking of Clapton for some reason

Walsh

Love Frampton, but Love Walsh more, my vote is Joe Walsh.

Tracy G. vs Zakk Wylde

My vote goes to Tracy G., hands down.

Meh. Don't really care for either.
