My friend Bill suggests Matt Pike the guitarist of Sleep and High on Fire. I don't know them too well so what do you folks think?

MellySingsDoom 07.17.2008 04:45 PM

if you mean corgan, yeah I agree. I heard he even re-recorded some of the other band members parts to make it more in the direction of cash making.

No.

This will be doubly hard due to the fact that Bo Diddley's dead. :(

Cantankerous 07.17.2008 07:34 PM

y'know, i don't think there are any real 'rock stars' left, like there were in the old days, because real rock has been put on the back burner for quite some time now. rock in the 70s had a massive market because it was relatively new, or at least in the style it was being presented at the time. things are just different now.

batreleaser 07.17.2008 07:42 PM

fuck the standard definition of rock gods, these are my current rock gods:
keiji haino, tom smith, rat bastard, weasel walter, yamatsuka eye, mick barr, kk null, jim o'rourke, kim/thurston/lee, buzz osborne, phil anselmo (althogh he prolly could actually fit into the standard def), kerry king, stephen o'malley, greg anderson, oren ambarchi, the mighty merz, misty martinez, nandor nevai, tatsuya yoshida, and so many more. these people might not be the embodiment of rock n roll, but they are all great musicians who believe in the sprituality of performance and rocking the audience's head off. or something.

MellySingsDoom 07.17.2008 07:47 PM

My new rock god is Glice. There, I said it.

demonrail666 07.17.2008 08:00 PM

Buckethead. There, I said it.

I cant believe no here has mentioned J Mascis. He really resurrected the guitar solo in the late 80s/early 90s.His solos are pure transcendental passion, I could get lost for days in them.

Repped. Mascis is the one of the few around today that is a rock/guitar god in the "classic" sense.

i would put carrie brownstein in a guitar goddess category.
