Great Guitarists In Bad Bands?


If you can't think of a great guitar player, pick a drummer, pianist, or a bassist.

Steve Vai - Whitesnake

Randy Rhodes, Jake E. Lee, Brad Gillis and Zakk Wylde - Ozzy Osbourne.

reply

Very true, Ozzy is a bad singer even though I am a Sabbath fan. Ozzy only got where he did due to great guitar players and Sharon pushing him.

reply

I actually like Ozzy's singing.. It's his TALKING that drives me nuts. I've never ever heard anyone talk like him.

reply

I honestly can't stand his voice tone. Very unpleasant, to me.

reply

When he was younger his singing voice was ok at times in Sabbath it was even good but as he got older it just became more of a warble like his speaking voice which I also can't stand.

reply

Would Rhoads’ early association with Quiet Riot qualify that band? I’ll admit, I like a few songs, good energy, but lots of filler on those albums....

reply

Quiet Riot, in all of it's iterations was shit. 😁

Andy Taylor - Duran Duran. I like a lot of Duran's songs but it is obvious Andy wanted to play a more rock style as seen by his solo work and Power Station, I don't think he ever got a chance to do what he really wanted to.

reply

Duran Duran aren't bad! But I agree about Andy Taylor, he added a rockier edge to them and was great live, his solo album Thunder is pretty good too, I always felt he'd have been more at home in a band like Def Leppard rather than Duran Duran.

reply

Exactly as a pop band they were quite good but I think Andy was restrained a bit. Although guitar was more prominent in their earlier albums.

reply

Slash in Guns N' Roses.

reply

Johnny Marr, I like Morrisey and his lyrics but Marr was the best thing about The Smiths in my opinion.

reply

Dave Stewart from the Eurythmics the band was ok but I never saw them as anything amazing. Dave on the other hand is a very good guitarist.

reply

Steve Steven's great guitarist but a lot of Billy Idol's songs are shit.

Reb Beach (Winger)
