Tone is in the gear.
EL-84s are good tubes.
G12-T75 is a fantastic speaker for rock and metal.
Nickelback's recorded guitar tone kills.

The Foo Fighters have two too many guitarists.

EVH hung (is hanging) onto the breakdancing paintjob way too long
Eric Clapton, SRV, and Santana are boring
Rhoads > EVH
Suhr guitars are overpriced and uninteresting.
Suhr amps are great
A guitar should not be dismissed (or purchased) because of headstock shape
It doesn't matter if an amp looks ugly
Joe Satriani's music is boring though it is more listenable than Steve Vai's
Rob Chapman is not funny or useful.
Duo gear reviewers slapping each other in the balls on youtube are annoying (see above)
Paul from Guitar World > The Tone King > Rob Chapman
"Bulb" Jackson guitars should not exist
I love Carl's forum contributions

- The 90's are a black hole for rock
- The 2ks and 2k10s (present) are black holes for music in general
- Very little good music has been made since 1990 (compared to previous decades)
- the music world needs a 1970's revival
- hearing the same ol' chugga-chugga modern metal riffs on forums bores me
- metal's cool (well, old metal) but seriously, don't forum guitarists play anything besides metal anymore?
- love Da Nuge, love his politics
- Kirk Hammett doesn't belong at all on the Rolling Stone Top 100 Guitarists Of All-Time list
- cookie-monster metal... what's the fuggin' deal?
- Spinal Tap is scarier than Slayer
- Bruce Springsteen sucks. Can't play, can't sing
- Diezel? Bogner? chugga-chugga-who-fucking-cares? Marshall. Fender.
- When tweaked correctly, BIAS sounds more realistic & dynamic than any AxeFX I've heard
- poseurs - the guitar-playing world will always be full of them
- the guitar-playing world needs more Satchels
- tone is in the mic preamp, proper EQ, compression and (if you have it) tape. And sometimes in the Harmonizer, delay and reverb too

High quality copies are still copies. I wouldn't wear a pair of bootleg Air Jordans, and I wouldn't play an Edwards Les Paul or a Nash Tele.

I'm right with you on these...
Buuut... as much as I love them I've gotta disagree with this.
Their music probably isn't your thing but you should give the boys in Unearth a listen. Especially their early stuff. Buzz and Ken are both incredible guitarists in their own right but together they are godly!
Just sayin'.

- Back In Black is the best AC/DC album (fact: and one of the best albums of all-time)
- DLR was never a singer, but without him, VH would never have existed as they are now
- lots of people nowadays say they hate Randy's tone on Blizzard, but when Crazy Train came on the radio in the early 80s, they were blown away by the tone (and playing)
- Dokken's first album (Breaking The Chains) is surprisingly good (it grows on you)

Not sure if this is relegated solely to the unpopular opinions in the microcosm of RT or if we are doing it in a more universal way but you can tell which apply where:
-EBMM JP guitars are soulless toneless planks, no pickup can make it sound reasonably decent. The ones I've owned didn't even play that well.
-EBMM's best guitar is probably the Luke III
-Steinberger guitars are awesome, and anyone who uses them is automatically cool
-Too much focus is paid to the wankery guitar gods of the 80s yet Johnny Marr and Andy Summers go totally unmentioned. They revolutionized music more than any guy in tight spandex
-That being said I still like hearing Motley Crue from time to time, they wrote some really catchy songs
-Pantera had a few great songs, and Dime has a cool style but he doesn't deserve the reverence he received
-Bark Psychosis's Hex is probably the most artistically relevant piece of music released in the '90s
-Guns 'n Roses is unlistenable, not sure if radio caused this or it is just a fact
-AC/DC shouldn't exist without Malcom in the band, have some respect
-Red Hot Chili Peppers were never cool
-If you spent more than $700 on a Gibson Les Paul you got fleeced, there are Japanese brands that make them better plain and simple
-Soundgarden is just Led Zeppelin drawn to its logical conclusion, not a bad thing
-Rush's Caress of Steel is a cool album
-Listen to rap, you can pickup a bit on interesting rhythmic form and use of tuplets (not just triplets)
-Guitarist should learn a little bit about synthesis to get a handle on tones, texture, and timbre
-Sepultura's Arise is the best thrash album released
-Use the damn volume control on your guitar for more than an OFF switch
-Jan Hammer has more "guitar" melodic sense and intuition than 99.9% of guitarists
-Fair Warning is by far the best VH album and get over it it was just a humbucker equipped strat into a Marshall with a variac end of topic lock it up!

Purple Rain is the most boring song of all time.
Anyone who covers Purple Rain should go to jail forever.
I liked GNR with Buckethead.
Steve Vai is unlistenable.
Satch is unlistenable.
Steve Vai ruined Slip of the Tongue.
The only good looking guitar EBMM ever made was the Axis. All the other models look fat, stupid, and dumpy as fuck.
The Carvin Legacy is the most uninspiring amp ever made.
Aside from the JSX Satch hasn't accomplished anything worthwhile.
