Best guitar duels!

[Archae]

Not who is the best guitar players.

Best "guitar duels."

My choice:

Megabyte and Bob. :-)

[democracyindanger]

1. Ralph Macchio v. The Devil

in "Crossroads."

[Fenris]

4. YES! A CROSSROADS reference!

:7

[democracyindanger]

5. Let's cut some heads.

:D

[Fenris]

7. Steve Vai will rock your socks off!

:7

[GOPisEvil]

10. I've seen Steve Vai live. It was WILD!

G3, actually.

As the crowd filtered in we got Robert Fripp just sort of being Frippish.

Then Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band started the show. Then Vai, then Satriani.

[Kat45]

19. I saw that G3 tour; it was great!

A guy I knew was playing drums for Vai at the time too. I also saw Steve Vai with Whitesnake, and enjoyed listening to his "impossible guitar parts" on Zappa's albums.

20. That was Ry Cooter and Steve Vai

in the movie "Crossroads". Shame Cooter had to die a few years ago, he could play the hell out of a guitar.

22. correction

Cooder



Cooter



:D

[furrylitldevil]

25. My mistake

Cooder it is.

[GOPisEvil]

6. The Devil, as played by Steve Vai, correct?

And Ralph Macchio as played by Ry Cooder!

2. I'm showing my age but...

who the heck are they? My vote goes to a moldy oldie:Free Bird
I was never a big Lynyrd Skynyrd fan, but I am a guitarist (celebrating 40 years of playing)(sigh).

[AntiCoup2K4]

9. Actually, that would be a trio

Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, and Ed King (or Steve Gaines in their later live appearances)

(not to mention whoever is playing it in the fake Skynyrd tribute band today)

[louis-t]

12. Oops. RIIIIGGGHHHT!

Silly me.

edit: duo>duel, trio>???
triel? just askin'.

[Dunedain]

28. Don't forget Ricky Medlock

from the way early days

[Archae]

13. Megabyte and Bob

Are from the TV series "Reboot," they had a kick-ass guitar duel for Enzo's birthday.

[louis-t]

Ahhhhhhhh! Of Course.

Hunh?
edit:should be reply to post 13.

[Archae]

16. Look it up.

n/t

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

3. Hughie Thommason and Billy Jones of the Outlaws on a number of songs

[reprehensor]

8. Wizzel & Wurzel - Motorhead n/t

[Kat45]

21. Correction: It was Wizzo (not Wizzel)

At least that was Lemmy's nickname for Phil Campbell at the time. I interviewed Campbell twice, and the second time I think he had a different nickname, but it escapes me right now.

[reprehensor]

23. Correction noted. n/t

[AntiCoup2K4]

11. Rolling Stones - "Respectable"

Keith & Woody tear it up in this one.

Hell, pretty much anything on the Some Girls album for that matter.

[Bossy Monkey]

14. Layla

or Little Martha if you don't need the volume at 11

[louis-t]

17. Layla is great on 11

but hard to listen at that volume in quiet spots because of the tape hiss.

[XNASA]

15. Robert Quine & Richard Lloyd - "Divine Intervention"

Off of Matthew Sweet's 'Girlfriend'. I think it's a duel.

[bobthedrummer]

18. On the last night of Stevie Ray Vaughan's life, on stage at Alpine Valley

he blew away Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, B.B.King, and Robery Cray.
But that wasn't recorded.

[Bluzmann57]

26. Right you are!

And I was there! Just an incredible performance by all parties. I thought I saw Buddy's jaw drop to the floor when SRV REALLY got it going. Very bittersweet however, for obvious reasons. I actually sat and cried the next day when I heard the sad news. I called in sick to work and cried, but smiled remembering that performance. On edit- B.B. King wasn't there, that I recall. SRV's last jam was with Clapton, Cray, Mr. Buddy Guy, Jimmy Vaughan. I do not recall Mr. B.B. King at all. Of course I may have had a foreign substance or two in my system. lol.

[mitchum]

24. Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd "Marquee Moon"

[Zorro]

27. In Memory of Elizabeth Reed

Allman Brothers, Live at the Fillmore.

Dickey Betts leads off; it's his song. Mighty tasty.

Then Duane storms in. Smokin'.

Then they go insane together. Just incredible.
