Megadeth > Metallica

John Sykes isn't recognized for the Guitar God that he is

Ronni LeTekro isn't recognized for the Guitar God that he is

Any of the 3 Hellecasters could play circles around most

Gear demo dudes need to learn more stuff than the same tired drop-tuned chugs

The best version of Journey was with Perry & Rolie

Paul Rodgers is the best male rock vocalist ever

RJD is the best male metal vocalist ever

The Gibson SG is superior to the Gibson Les Paul

Strandbergs look like some pothead's high school wood shop project

Hear 'n' Aid 2: make it happen

How come no one ever talks about Queensryche or Iron Maiden anymore?

Joe B is full of himself
Aerosmith's best music was when they were on drugs
Fleetwood Mac sucked before Buckingham/Nicks joined
It's a toss up btw Chris Cornell and Paul Rogers for best rock male vocalist ever
Rush's music with keys was great too
Leo Fender got real lucky building a guitar out of the cheapest parts he could find
Hendrix & Clapton are over rated
Duran Duran would've never made it big without Andy Taylor
Heart was so much better when they were an actual band, and not "The Wilson Sisters"
Scott Weiland was the best frontman a band could ever hope for
Luck plays a bigger role in most bands making it big than generally given credit for
The original song is always better than the remake

Joe B is full of himself -maybe
Aerosmith's best music was when they were on drugs -absolutely
Fleetwood Mac sucked before Buckingham/Nicks joined -yes
It's a toss up btw Chris Cornell and Paul Rogers for best rock male vocalist ever -good point
Rush's music with keys was great too -somewhat although Geddy always had a Moog Taurus going on from the early years
Leo Fender got real lucky building a guitar out of the cheapest parts he could find -kind of; he had musician input
Hendrix & Clapton are over rated -yes
Duran Duran would've never made it big without Andy Taylor
Heart was so much better when they were an actual band, and not "The Wilson Sisters" -yes
Scott Weiland was the best frontman a band could ever hope for -David Lee Roth says, "Hold my beer: Bop-badda... shoo-bee-doo-waaa!"
Luck plays a bigger role in most bands making it big than generally given credit for
The original song is always better than the remake -except "All Along The Watchtower"

Saw some interesting statements that I had to add 2cents to.

Joe B worked very well with Jimmy Barnes for Lazy
I had never heard of Aerosmith until the reunion/rehab
Peter Green was the real Fleetwod Mac
Jimmy Barnes is by far and away the best rock vocalist ever
Who are these Rush people again?
Leo Fender got real lucky manys times, it seems. Amps as well as guitars, whose copies with bad UK parts created Marshall...
Ok, maybe Clapton
I haven't given Duran Duran a thought in many years. Ok.
Agreed on Heart
See Jimmy Barnes being the best ever. Watch Wild Thing by Cold Chisel live at the Last Stand. Only Bonn Scott may be mentioned as alternate.
Bribery and corruption may play an even bigger role than Luck
So many covers are superior to originals it beggars belief.

Another tuppence into the mix...
 
And Paul Gilbert is a certifiable freak of nature.

I just looked up the tabs on Colorado Bulldog. Holee fuck batman! It's just walking pentatonic sextuplets, but those finger stretches are UN REAL!!

More random thoughts:

- Satch & Vai are killer players, but their tone - not so much

- Too much gear = paralysis by analysis

- Ritchie Blackmore tone is very difficult to obtain; surprisingly

- The very first time the term "heavy metal" was used in a song was on Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" in 1968

- Marshall Amplification is doomed

- I would love to build a Marshall 18 watt (1974 model)

- I dig the 80's sparkly, chorused guitar textures of the FIXX's Jamie West-Oram:



- What the world needs now, is a new Muppet Show with all the original characters and no new ones

- This is shredding at its pinnacle:



- Michael Angelo Batio will give you the "keys to the Lamborghini":

 
Can’t be a super hot take …

John Fruscianti … one of the best guitarist ever. Flee … in combination with John. Damn. Chad… the heart of the band.

And that should have been the band.

We tolerate the singer because of those 3.
