And also last Thursday in Hull with his old band Sharks, who had connections with this area. Spedding was amazing - 73 years old, Duesenberg guitar straight into his amp, sounded fantastic. One of those guitarists who seems to 'underplay' a lot and yet does the job brilliantly, coaxing a lot of sounds without seemingly using any FX at all. There were always lots of rumours about his involvement in the Sex Pistols stuff, which when you listen to it could well be founded. He was also a Womble.............

Saw him with Herbie, when they toured WOTW a few years ago at Brighton, great player. He was also a Womble.....with one with Flying V IIRC.

T-Bay Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 [quote name='Yank' timestamp='1506854005' post='3381471'] Billy Duffy- The Cult [/quote] My first thought as well, but then The Cult as a whole are vastly under rated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casapete Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Bobby Bandiera - has been 2nd guitarist with Bon Jovi for quite a few years now. Absolutely amazing player, first caught him when he played with Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes. Great feel and use of chord inversions, as well as a fab soloist and singer. Met him a few times, and a lovely fella. Bon Jovi always seem to stick him at the back, maybe as his image doesn't suit theirs? He was there all through the Sambora problems, solid as a rock. Bobby and Jon Bon Jovi go back a long way though, so nice that he finally got a regular gig with friends that presumably now pays him what he's worth.

ezbass Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Steve Morse. For the vast majority of folks he just isn't Richie Blackmore, but he's a hell of a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pst62 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1506857186' post='3381507'] Mmm, not sure about that. There can't be many rock fans who haven't heard of him, UFO and MSG. I'm overlooking Scorpions as he was only on their debut album/tour. I think his popularity suffered a lot due to the issues he had, but I really don't think he's overlooked or not respected as a decent guitar player. [/quote] You'll be surprised at how many Americans still don't know who he is... You say "Schenker" They automatically assume you're meaning Rudolf.

Japhet Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Robbie MacIntosh springs to mind. Fantastic player. Also David Grissom from the now defunct Storyville is a great player with a pretty unique style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisthebass Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 This fella: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKxG-6qmW6U Great solo (imo) from 1:30 - can hear a lot of Chicago Blues in his playing which nobody in the Rock & Roll arena was doing at the time. If he had survived, would've been just as influential as the likes of Clapton, Page, and Beck throughout the 1960's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I don't know his name (which in fairness, speaks volumes in itself) but the bloke who played live second guitar and sang backing vocals for Porcupine Tree - he did it perfectly for years, but was never in the band.

Saw Robbie McIntosh a few years ago in a small gig near here, and he had Pino Palladino in the band too! Think he still does gigs of his own as well as being a sideman for others.
