  1. My Favorite Guitarists:

    1. Jimi Hendrix

    2. Jimmy Page

    3. Joe Perry

    4. Eddie Van Halen

    5. Brian May

    Best Technical Guitarists IMO:

    1. Buckethead

    2. Steve Vai

    3. Paul Gilbert

    4. Joe Satriani

    5. Yngwie Malmsteen

    Favorite Drummers:

    1. John Bonham

    2. Keith Moon

    3. Lars Ulrich

    4. Neil Peart

    5. Joey Kramer (not the greatest in technical skill, but he's damn good live and I love his style)

  2. AC/DC with Brian Johnson and Van Halen with Sammy Hagar were both more successful commercially with those line ups but I'll take AC/DC with Bon Scott and Van Halen with David Lee Roth over those line ups any day of the week.

    I agree with the latter, but I'm one of the few people (that I know anyways) that prefers Johnson to Scott.

    Call me crazy, but I think he had a much better voice suited for that band.

  3. In regards to Led Zeppelin carrying on under that name without John Bonham, it goes against the press release they put out after Bonham's death but Lynyrd Skynyrd also said they didn't see the band continuing without Van Zant. Many, many bands have carried on without key members but very few (if any) of them are as good as their original incarnations.

    I'd say AC/DC did better without Bon Scott, and Van Halen did a good job with Sammy (he's no David Lee Roth but he did all right).

    Other than that...you're probably right

  4. Eddie's more virtuoistic, and is plainly the faster guitarist. In a guitar duel based on speed, he'd run cricles around Page. But on the other hand, Page wrote way better music, and he was more influential than Van Halen ever was/will be.

    If I needed a solid guitarist who some cool licks, I pick Page. If I'm playing speed metal or something just wild and crazy, Eddie hands down

  5. Twice, I got hand-me-downs from one of my cousins, and I reached in the pockets for the first time (I think to put something in them) and I felt money.

    "Hooray" I thought, "Time for some ice cream from the ice cream man"

    Both times, it was a 50 B)

    But yeah, over the years I've found some money layin around here and there (especially in school)

  6. As much as an "Every opinion counts" kinda guy I am, I must say that I laugh at anyone who thinks:

    a)the Lochness Monster is real

    and

    b)Bigfoot is real

    Seriously people, with how many people search for these things every year, we'd have some shred of evidence.

  7. the movie site Fandango.com has user reviews from people who've seen it. There are 248 reviews by women, and 198 by men. So that's a 55/45 split.

    I'm not saying the majority of people who want to see it are women, but it's not a chick flick by any means, nor is it that big a difference. When I went, it was mostly couples

  8. They did a story on it and apparently most of the audiences for it are women.

    Wrong. It was a pretty good movie overall, and this is coming from a teenage guy who hates chick flicks.

    It was funny in a sort of Napoleon Dynamite sort of way, yet a little more serious. Two thumbs up for Juno

  9. Well I never saw the old one so I'll post here.

    Anyways, I love Aerosmith (listening to to "Make It" right now B) )

    Personally, they are my second favorite band of all time, second only to the great Zeppelin. Joe Perry is a hell of a guitarist and Brad Whitford is the unsung hero of the band, he was the main influence for Slash! Tom Hamilton is a pretty good bassisst but like Whitford, you won't see him in the lime light for the most part. Joey Kramers a decent drummer, he gets the job done. Tyler remains my favorite singer of all time

    Overall, just a hell of a band, and I'm proud to say that seeing them live was the best show I've ever seen (well I've seen only a few concerts period, but oh well)

  10. Metallica (cant wait for their new album with Robert Trujillo)

    Black Sabbath

    Iron Maiden

    Deep Purple (see em live, they got heavier since they've aged!)

    Anthrax is pretty good

    AC/DC if you count them

    Yngwie Malmsteen's work

    Alice in Chains to an extent

    for the most part, I'm not a fan of modern metal, especially not Death Metal or Black Metal..I simply don't consdier it true music and I'm sure some of you will get upset by that. That's fine, it's your right to like it and mine not to. More power to you.

    But as I said, None of my "Metal" bands are really modern save Metallica, Anthrax, and Alice In Chains
