if it would be a name game i would say lindsay davenport (or even lindsay lohan), but i´d better say bill frisell (or was it buffalo bill in the end ?)

yep Bill Frisell dissonant self.

As for name games, ever notice that 3 great genre-bending guitarists all have last names beginning with Fri

[Camarillobrillo]

Fripp, Frisell...who's the third Marty Friedman ?

[Mr_White]

....... isn´t Slash the best guitar player ever, or was that Brian May ?

[sbando]

That weirdo with the KFC bucket on his head?

Fripp, Frisell...who's the third Marty Friedman ?

Fred Frith of course, tho i'm not much of an Art Bears/Henry Cow fan

[Camarillobrillo]

Yeah right Fred Frith !!!
Forgive me for Friedman i'm an old metalhead


KFC to the extreme


Sort of inconcludent i'll say...

Not at all Brillo, i dont even know who Friedman is, unless you mean Milton "supply-side" Friedman. But i'm mainly a big fan of everything R Fripp has done so i love these links to old pre-Crimson & early Crimson splinter projects (eg Giles Giles & Macdonald ?)

As for bucket-boy, he's got great technique & sound, but i have yet to hear a "song" from him. It's more like guitar-wankery Remember a player called Snakefinger, involved with the Residents? Sort of reminiscent somehow.

Not at all Brillo, i dont even know who Friedman is, unless you mean Milton "supply-side" Friedman.

He's been the main shredder of the famous metal band "Megadeth"..then he turned New-age and then J-pop...


Great technique and very clever use of middle eastern or other unusual scales during his solos.
One of the metal guitar heroes of the nineties...


I've called it inconcludent but the term "guitar-wankery" effectively defines better most of the works
i've listened from Buckethead.
Anyway, technically speaking, he's really close to the top of the list...

Fripp and Belew's guitar sinth work in Sheltering Sky is amazing.
I may be repeating but I really want to buy a Chapman's Stick...

Heartbeat is OOP, damn. It's all your fault.

A little quiz, then.

This is one of my fave songs ever


Which track is sampled here (and sung in full at the end) and which other hit from the late 90's sampled it?

[Camarillobrillo]

Some e-store located in our own banana republic's selling Heartbeat on e-bay

Sakamoto, Sylvian and Bill Frisell in the same room is a must have.

GM has made some great songs...
"Listen Without Prejudice" was a great album...not one weak spot in it.

There's no description. I'll buy it from Discogs, many copies available from trusted sellers.

By the way, when you asked about Frisell I didn't cheat, as you obviously did for Forget Ne Nots . Now checking the entry for Heartbeat at Discogs I discover this:

Code: Select all

I've always had a lot of respect for George, you could recognize a top songwriter even in the Wham days. "Listen" is his masterpiece.

"Is there a time for First Communion
A time for East Seventeen
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen"
