[Reel Addiction]

I did start to see some good ones like Randy Rhodes, BB king and Satriani. But give props to all the speed metal bands!!!!! Not guitar but Bass has to be Cliff Burton original Metallica!!!!!!!!

 

[Cartel]

Prince
Robert Randolph
Matthew Bellamy

Good additions I love multi talented artist like Prince. And your right about Muse they are my favorite band right now. I saw them in Baltimore in march and they can def get down. If you ever heard Helsinki Jam then you know the bassist is legit too!

Rodrigo y Gabriela are awesome, though I would point out that she is better than he is... watch her right hand - she does things few guitarists can do, and her rhythms totally make that combination. Their album 11:11 is awesome, but their previous self-titled release is worth buying, too.

WOW she's amazing! the first time I heard their names was a week or two ago in an email about up coming concerts. After seeing that I'm going to have to check and see if the show already happened, if not I might have to go. Her right hand caught my ear right out of the intro, I realized half way through his solo I was paying attention to her rythm part.

yeah they needed to be added to the list lol

Yeah, when you read the liner notes from their self-titled first album (reading liner notes - a lost art in this age of downloading digital files, LOL), you find out they're actually metal players who eventually figured out they could be better playing acoustic. Thus the fairly obvious rock/blues/metal influence in their music. While I really like their version of Orion, their live version of Stairway to Heaven is pretty awesome, too.

They're playing the Pier Six Pavilion in Baltimore on August 30:

Tickets are kinda expensive for my taste (then again, maybe that's just because it's been 20 years since I went to a live music concert - King's X - oh, yet another guitarist to add to the list, Ty Tabor), but I'm considering going, and bringing my wife and eldest daughter.
