Hm, I don't think that Rock n' Rolf is underrated. Fortunately.  |

Mark "The Shark" Shelton - You maybe don't like his voice. Have you listened him playing his guitar?

Agree with all those indeed. Everybody praise Wayne, but to me the voice of Metal Church would always be Howe.

Brian Downey - one of the most accomplished drummers I've ever listen to, but it seems that nobody shone in the shadow Phil Lynott cast upon Thin Lizzy as his frontman.
|
Yeah, he's technically proficient but too soft for Thin Lizzy, I think they should've had a hard hitter instead of him...

Chastain the band is awesome, but Chastain the guitarist is laughable... In the same way as A.R.Pell.
Too many notes and none of them precise enough or played well enough. He isn't up there with the likes of those you mentioned for a good reason...

Akira Takasaki from Loudness. He maybi haven`t done nothing greatlately. But 80`s Loudness is full of great riffs and solos. Thunder in the east is briliant album.

I don't know to me Thin Lizzy without Brian Downey is not conceivable. When John Sykes decided to reunite with Scott Gorham and him (plus some bass player) I thought it was alright but never could be TL without Phil Lynott, when Brian drop out of the project I didn't even care (and still doesn't) what are they making as a tribute band.
I have the guy in my pantheon along with Ian Paice, Cozy Powell, Carl Palmer, Bill Brufford, Bill Ward, Nick Mason, etc.

Wait a minute... Are you saying bass players are barely musicians?!

No, no, no! Just that bass player! I love bass guitar, especially when a guy writes his own riffs that still fit seamlessly with the guitars and the drums. Geezer Butler is my personal fave, his riffs are almost as tasty as Iommi's.

Please.. technically any guitarist from today including Chastain can play better then Blackmore... but anyways I think he's a great guitarist who is underrated and the albums Ruler of the Wasteland and 7th Of Never are awesome...

Jabs and Hoffmann had more in common than many would believe. Of course both were German and of similar eras, but both also had the same producer at one point in their lives. Dieter Dierks might be the second best producer that has ever lived behind Mutt. Dieter believed in "hiding" guitar fills and "mini-solos" in the music where you wouldn't really hear it the first time around, but the more you listened, the more would be discovered.
I think Mattias was every bit as good as Michael and Uli Jon. He was not in a position to be as "groundbreaking" as you would say, but he was a monster.

His solos are just as melodic and emotional as Schenkers, but he gets no credit for it (possibly because he came along for their more commercial, less groundbreaking albums).
