Who's the best Gutarist in the 2013 lineup?

[bmack86]

Hey... hey guys?

Dinosaur Jr is unlistenable.

Oh that's right, they're not Tool, Pink Floyd or the Beatles. I forgot there's only one good band every generation.

[TomAz]

This year's Gary Clark, Jr has to be Reignwolf

damn. thanks for posting that. yet another Saturday act I want to catch. he's gonna play like at 12:30 I imagine.

[Josh_Garrett]

Reignwolf is going to be great. Has that Gary Clark/ Jack White style. I would have to say Marr is my favorite on this lineup hoping he comes out for a surprise during Modest Mouse

[MickeyD]

Looking forward to Reignwolf! Yeah, Marr on some "We Were Dead" songs would be awesome!

[SFtoCoachella]

This year's Gary Clark, Jr has to be Reignwolf

Yes! this is what i was looking for, thanks!

[khariii]

It's definitely J. Mascis or Graham Coxon. I'm going with Coxon.

[anonimouse]

Geddy Lee

the fewer we were dead songs modest mouse plays the better off we are.

[kvnty]

Marr by farr.

[kneuller]

MARR! I'm assuming he doesn't play Smiths stuff, but still.

There aren't a lot of setlists to go by, but in the most recent ones that I could find from October 2011 it looks like Johnny Marr was playing 5 Smiths songs. "How Soon Is Now?" "Shakespeare's Sister" "The Headmaster Ritual" "Sweet and Tender Hooligan" and my personal favorite, "There is a Light That Never Goes Out."

[Kirby77]

No contest - John Squire of The Stone Roses by a million miles!

[Ajo209]

Hey... hey guys?

Dinosaur Jr is unlistenable.

I think your ears are broken

[cubrocker]

Johnny Marr
Lou Reed
Isaac Brock

[Krellish]

if only Frusciante was partaking. Goddam

This would bump the Chili Peppers up to "legitimate headliner" status.

[Ajo209]

theres no chance frusciante plays with the pepers?

[zircona1]

Geddy Lee

Take off, you hoser.

[baily]

Reignwolf for me - I'll be there

[Kirby77]

Check this out - the best guitarist (John Squire), bass player (Mani) and drummer (Reni) in one video!

The Stone Roses are going to blow Coachella out of the water!

Live ending of I am the Resurrection

[Kirby77]

For those of you who don't know who John Squire is - I suggest you check out this video!!!!!!

[Cain85]

For me, Johny Marr and John Squire are by far the two best guitarist of the 2013 Coachella line up. However, if push comes to shove and I had to name the best guitarist of the Coachella 2013 line up , well that would have to be John Squire. I'm just so glad the world is finally being exposed to such a talented Guitarist. John Squire is just totally awesome.

[Zafocaine]

*bites tongue* I mean, you do realize how many other bands are on the lineup... right? To properly answer this question, you would need to spend months researching the topic. It's not just going to be your favorite band on the lineup. Sorry, bro. Flea is a better guitarist than Marr and Squire both. Easy.

[Cain85]

Check out John Squire's awesome guitaring on this track, especially from 4.00 on wards. Pisses all over Flee big time baby.

On what wards? Who's fleeing? You clearly missed the "research" part of the instructions.

Edit- Now that I've researched your evidence... you don't play any instruments at all, do you? There's nothing technically complicated about what he does. There's nothing standout about what he does. He's efficient. That's all. Not even quality efficient, like Clapton. Just okay. Flea is much more a visionary. To say that Squire's melodies are more repetitive than that of a bass player... think about it. Don't fly off the hinges with an uninformed response. Go research the discussion. Anyone who's been playing a guitar for three years can cover completely what Squire did in that song, though I don't see why anyone would want to.

[Zafocaine]

Oh yeah....



Now disappear, smegmaphyte.

Edit- Someone should go post this video, or a similar video, in the best drummer thread to shut all those Stone Rose bums up. It's like not knowing is the only way of life they know.

[Zafocaine]

hahaha.... Squire's the best.... Hahahahahahahahahaha



Dude's got some truly impression skill. It's almost otherworldly to watch.



I was at the NAMM show in 09. Slash was there. I yelled out, "Oh shit, it's Lenny Kravitz!"

[Kirby77]

Hey Zafocaine, watch this display of guitar, bass and drumming skills. Now that's what you call visionary.

Check out Squire guitar from 5.40

The Stone Roses - Fools Gold Live.

[Zafocaine]

Hey Zafocaine, watch this display of guitar, bass and drumming. Now that's what you call vision.

The Stone Roses - Fools Gold Live.

What the shit? Is that guitarist hand-syncing??? I really don't know what the band is going to do with a crowd that doesn't know the lyrics to their songs. Something tells me every other stage is going to get extra packed about ten to fifteen minutes after these guys take the stage.

Also, have you never seen The Who? Guitarmanship 101. These guys are literally just posers.
