I think Jeff Buckley was very good at slide guitar (cf Last Goodbye, Lost highway and Vancouver).

Silver by the Pixies has slide guitar

You're getting repped for mentioning the Gun Club:) They had a good tradition with using slides, but the ultimate GC slideguitar song has got to be Mother Earth from Miami, (Breaking Hands comes close though)

Duane Dennison is such an underrated guitarist. I met him after the Tomahawk gig in belfast a few years back,he talked to me for about 20 minutes, really nice guy. although it might have been because a lot of other people were floating round patton like flies round shite

blind willie johnson motherfuckers!
the indisputed king of the slide.

haha, that john fahey interview at the end of the video is funny, when that chick comments "it seems like a very limited instrument" and he doesn't really respond, and that she presses him a little more, like "don't you think" and then he goes "yeah, its limited!" and then he mumbles something sarcastically along the lines of, "yeah, only 5 or 6 songs", well i dont know, maybe he wasn't being sacastic, but i got a kick of it. A using a specific tunning has never to stopped SY from being creative.

And oh man, did you see the clip on youtube right before this clip, it really is, punk as fuck!

Yep, the guitar is so limiting.
Not like a versatile instrument such as the Kazoo.
I mean, you can hum anything you want into one of those suckers and it just comes right out! The possibilities are endless!

hahaha
