haze015 Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Well, I never said anything about that. But saying that "Matt CAN do all those things, he just doesn't want to" is pretty...well, pointless. Do you have any proof that Matt can do all these things? And some pretty tech parts? where? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8Duubz99wk About 2 mins in, some proof he can do some technical stuff, although he's not playing too well. Though not really enough for "He just chooses not to" type excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uccellino Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'm not gonna pretend to know the difference between who the best and worst guitarists are technically. The best technical guitarist might bore my brains out so my vote goes to the one I like listening to the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Matt's no where near the greatest guitarist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funkadelic Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 It's just an NME poll. I don't think they even check to see the results of these things. They're just to get more hits on their website. This. If we feed their egos they'll think they're doin' it rite and keep up with what they're doing, which isn't really right at all . You're right. Not really. Muse know that their fans like to rig things, and I doubt they care about some silly poll/award anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uccellino Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I agree that this is probably a ploy for NME to get loads of hits on their site. They say the results of this one will go in the magazine, although they haven't given any clue as to when the poll will end. If Matt won they'd probably sell a few more issues than if the Horrors guy did. It'd be win/win for the NME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe i said "Matt CAN do all those things, he just doesn't want to", i said "Just because he doesnt shred like an alien in every song and doesnt mean he cant and when does it makes you appreciate it even more". he does some pretty cool guitar fills too.

Well if you aren't suggesting that he can, why even bring it up? Maybe the guitarist of The Horrors is fucking amazing technically, he just chooses not to show it.

Gigapoodle Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 You Just Rated:John Frusciante, Red Hot Chili Peppers Your Rating: 10 I would never put Matt even close to John in terms of guitar skills. Totally forgot about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUGER KO Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Paco De Lucia: [media] Django Reinhardt (He only had two fingers): [media] Anyone who mentions shredding in a topic about "great" guitar playing needs to learn the instrument to see how misguided they are Also, Matt doesn't do anything "technical" whilst singing. Actually, there is an interview where Matt is playing an acoustic, the guy does have a great deal of technical ability as he was into flamenco guitar, but it doesn't transfer that ability into Muse songs, which is a shame in all honesty thank you for including Paco de Lucia,..hes incredible, just unbelievable..but I think bellamy is the greatest of all time, not for technical ability, cuz it's pretty obvious just about anyone can totally rape a guitar, but how he just about dominates every angle of emotion while playing it,.either if knigts of Cyd makes you head bang into a hemorrage,.or if the outro of Space Deme tears you a new one..bellamy owns both sides of the spectrum..AND, bedroom acoustics kinda is his attempt at muse's flamenco..sooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Bee Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 There are too many different guitar music genres to choose one guitarist that is better than the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMorphine Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Voted for Matt and gave him a 10 though... I'm kinda surprised after seeing him at no.2 on 8.32. It's great to see it but I was expecting to see him at 10 or below since there's really LOTS of other great guitarist out there. I expected to see Eric Clapton or Hendrix at that rank to be honest, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty987 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Where is Herman Li :awesome: Definately not as good as first seems, Sam and Herman did a good job in Dragonforce studio albums and they wrote some amazing solo's, but the studio is where it ends, as what may be a million note solo on the studio recording, it turns into a 1 note powerchord when Dragonforce played live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadStar01 Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Vai isn't on the poll, it's a a joke. Also, I looked up Joshua Hayward and there is nothing special whatsoever about his guitar playing, so methinks the horrors fans are rigging a bit. Fight fire with fire?
