| I looked through the pages to make sure these wasn't already a thread, but I didn't see it, if I overlooked it, I apologize. To keep it from needing separate threads I thought we'd have favorite guitarist, drummer, bassist, and vocals all in one thread. My favorite drummer is Keith Moon hands down, and as far as guitarist it's hard to say, I really like a lot of them. Some favorites besides obvious answers such as (Hendrix, Slash, and any other legends) would be Synyster Gates (A7X), George Thorogood, Peter Frampton, etc. For Bassist it would be Billy Sheehan from Mr. Big, and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers. |

| Vocalist: Tetsuya Fukugawa (Envy); runner up: Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, etc) Guitarist: Kotaro Oshio Drummer: Atsu of Boris I guess. Brian Chippendale (Lightning Bolt) is pretty insane but he's a god damn idiot. Bassist: Takeshi of Boris. A couple months ago, I probably would have had a pretty big list of favorites, but I guess I don't really think about that shit much anymore. |

| Guitarists are all I care about really. Jimmy Page (duh), Synyster Gates, Slash, Mike McCready from Pearl Jam, David Gilmour, and this guy who inspired me to pick up guitar. The one bassist I do like is Flea from Chili Peppers |

| When it comes to drummers and bassists, the rhythm section of Can (Holger Czukay on bass, Jaki Liebezeit on drums) is hard to beat: Love this guy's videos, btw. He recorded himself dancing every day for a year. It ended in May but they're all still up on youtube. Good taste in music and sweet dance moves. Check it out. One current drummer that stands out for me is Kid Millions from the awesome Oneida: That's the style of drumming/bass playing I like best, where it just locks into a groove and stays there for a while. The guy's got some serious skills (and stamina). |
