Haha some classics in this thread

"-Guthrie Govan doesn't shower" :lol: :LOL:

A few more I thought of when recording last night

- When I see a kemper/axe on stage at a gig it feels like when a chick you like takes off her bra and you find out it was all padding
- Toto Seventh One and Fahrenheit are underrated albums filled with excellent song writing if you can get past the slight cheese factor
- For all of Yngwie's MANY flaws, I love him and will always defend him :lol: :LOL:
- The weakest link in a chain for live sound is usually the sound man, you might perfect your tone at rehearsal but a crap sound man can delete tone in a matter of seconds, I find most sound men mix subjectively and rarely achieve a balanced strong sound.
 
Tool's tone is way overrated

Tool itself is way overrated (some excellent songs, but they not the gods as which they are often revered).

I do not like most blues music, particularly the kind that follows the I IV V pattern. I hate shuffles.

Nickelback has some kick-ass songs.

3 Doors Down isn't half bad.

Slipknot is overrated.

William DuVall is great in Alice in Chains.

Most modern metal bands sound the same because - wait for it - most modern metal amps sound the same.

People shouldn't be flamed when they buy great gear but are no good at playing (applies to guitars but also cars, motorcycles etc). They can do whatever the hell they want with their money.

Eagles of Death Metal are overrated.

Guns kill people. Oh wait, this was about music opinions. My bad.
 
Think a lot of dudes here buy good gear instead of practicing and then spend a ton of time here defending their opinions and tone taste without the benefit of playing heads cranked like thy're meant to be through good cabs.
Think a lot of dudes here can probably rip ass and put smiles on many faces in a crowd. I love reading posts here.

-the EBMM Bongo bass is one of the dorkier looking instruments on earth
-the House of Blues Franchise is a total flop. The one in LA has 10 foot weeds growing in its parkinglot.
-Hamer guitars made the best explorer of all time in the 80's
-Steve Stevens needs to stop holding on to his 'Don't need a gun' wardrobe, hairstyle, and nail polish
-everyone here needs to listen to the live record, 'Friday Night in San Francisco' start to finish. If after that, your top 3 guitarists list hasn't changed, well,,,,,,,,
-I had a really shitty feeling when I unboxed my new Kemper lunchbox profiling amp and saw that on the back, a little more than 1/3 of the units square footage was dedicated to a storage area for the power cord!
-9v battery powered mini-amps are the biggest fucken waste of 29$
-Sammy Hagar over-bleaches his teeth.
-hate Fred Durst
-the last 5 Star Wars sucked donkey balls!
 
Zakk Wylde was was Ozzy's (solo albums) best guitar player....hands down and its not even a contest.
Jake e Lee is incredibly over rated.
Van Halen (the band) are terrible.....so chessey and so many sub par tunez.
Want heavy tones.....buy a Mesa Dual rec or 5150. No need to look elsewhere....they can ball park anything metal.
The 90's were the best for rock guitar. Yah, i said it.
A lot of "dimebag was overrated" in this thread but i think he's underrated. He was just as important to guitar players finding their way in the 90's as evh or any of those guys were to the 80's learners. If he wasnt around the guitar solo scene in modern would be very different.
Currently the stoner rock and all those sub genres are the best guitar music happening today!
 
God isn't real.
Trump is a clown, Hillary is a witch.
Satch, Vai, Ywngie I can't handle.
And Dr. Pepper is better than coke.
 
Singers aren't the biggest assholes in music, guitarists are.
Guitar forums are a tremendous waste of time.
Rock music hasn't been interesting since the mid 90's.
Jimmy Page is a terrible live guitarist and his tone, recorded or live, has always been too thin and lacked balls. He's great in the studio though.
Guitar virtuosos, while impressive, are boring.
Def Leppard died with Steve Clark, maybe even the Clark/Willis team.
Korn, even though I can't stand them, are a very good live band.
Mick Mars has the best live heavy rock tone I've ever heard.
EVH started a rock guitar revolution. His early tone is still iconic to this day.
Every modern hard rock band sounds exactly the same.
Digital recording has made it easier to record, but it has killed the soul and magic of music.
The 80's were cheesy and silly, but they were more fun, musically and socially, than any decade before or since.
Rock died when it wasn't "dangerous" anymore.
I'd rather listen to Billy Gibbons solo than Malmsteen.
Tool is a great band live and in the studio, but they are overrated.
Iron Maiden's last great album was Somewhere in Time.
Kirk Hammet was solid all the way through the Black album.
C.C. Deville is a good guitarist.
Billy Sheehan's tone is annoying. And he's overrated.
Steve Vai is overrated. But he's amazing.
Jeff Beck is overrated. But he's amazing.
99% of metal is too focused on being "heavy" and not focused enough on hook.
99% of the people in your audience don't care about your guitar tone and won't notice if it's "bad" or "good" unless it's A. too loud, or B. is too piercing (trebly).
When you love your tone, you play better. Period.
If you have a terrible gig and play badly, people in the audience will think you're a terrible guitar player. They forget all about it within two days. If you have an amazing gig, people will think you're an awesome guitarist. They forget all about it within two days.
An amplifier's build quality doesn't always equal great tone; however, build quality does equal reliability. Reliability is worth the extra money.
Every one of us, including me, spend too much time on forums and not enough time playing the guitar and practicing.
 
- Dimebag is way overrated.
- Pantera dumbed down metal, they didn't "save" it or anything like that, they just made it worse.
- Cliff Burton is overrated. His input in metallica was marginal at best. A couple solos don't make a great bass player.
- Jason Newsted a much tighter bass player that Burton ever was.
- 6 strings are enough.
- 4 strings are enough
- I'd take The Edge over EVH anyday.
- The Rolling Stones are only famous because of the "bad boy" pose. Their music is shit.
- Song/album titles with the words "Steel" or "Metal" are ridiculous and cheesy AF
- Relic'd guitars are stupid.

What in the actual fuck are you saying??? LOL this is not acceptable Sir.
 
I need to update my ignore list after reading some of these opinions. There's just no way I can be friends with some of you guys. But then I hate everyone anyway.

haha!!
 
AC/DC, Guns N Roses, and KISS are ALL overrated! there i said it. i feel better now.
 
ABBA is the best pop band ever
Who is Joe Bonamassa and what has he ever done?
AC/DC only made great albums as long as Mutt Lange was their producer
Eddie Van Halen was great but drank/doped away his talent and turned on his bandmates
Lars Ulrich has a great deal to do with Metallica´s success
Most people don´t care for shredding solos
Sound and gear can be important but is useless without a good song
 
The 90's was the best decade for music

You will not get lost in the mix if you turn your mids down

Floyd style trems are not worth the hassle

Korn has many killer songs and tones

Tubes are overrated

Vintage 30's are just meh

No one cares you can sweep pick except geeky guitar nerds

Your $300 delay pedal sounds like my $80 Boss
