Man come ON!!!! Eddie can play fast...........and thats about it. If thats your criteria for a great musician list to randy rhoads NOT van halen im sorry but that is the most 80s unoriginal sound ive ever heard!! everyone of their songs sounds EXACTLY the same, horrible chords (JUMP lol oh god) then enter eddies obnoxious playing. Man i just cant stand guitarist like that.
Now on to dimebag, he uses unusuall chords if you own the greats hits you can see what im talking about. Listen to the middle solo in "cemetary gates" when i walks it up further and further untill he pinch harmonics it down, gets that airplaine effect, to the main hardcore riff. Thats 1000x more original than say Hot for teacher. Granted were not going to see eye to eye on this and your obviously more into who can play faster and technique when i see the song as a whole and guitarist using solos to advertise themselves (i.e. eddie) than the song as a whole.
I think thats y your seeing them as better musicians, and technically they maybe, eddie may very well be able to play 3x as fast as dimebag or jerry but i think i good soloist is one that can fit their solo into the song rather than play uber fast saying look at me!! Im more refering to eddie here.
And i think you took that last post wrong, lol, i didnt claim those guys were guitar GODS like you think tom is. I just said the "inspired me". i left it vague so i wouldnt get flamed but oh well.:rolleyes:
Im not trying to say dime is a better musician or compare who to what, i just said they inspire me. And original sounds?? ya im with you about Tom on this one, he truly does some original work. But NOTHING about Eddie is original. True there are some diehard fans and their music will live on, probably for a while but original sorry. Tom on the other hand, ya the kinda did start the rap rock thing, too bad it was killed by Limp Bizkit, linkin park and the shit we're inondated with today. But ya Rage will be remembered, Audioslave??? probably not, their music is mundane and a pale shadow of what rage was and what rage stood for.

Rage's music will be remember by critics, fans, and everyone else LONG AFTER Pantera is gone.

Man this is total hersay, you have no idea who'll be remembered for what, you predicting the future here?? come on man, you forget that rage got ALOT of radio play and MTV coverage.
Pantera got shit, you'll never see a pantera video on mtv (except once on a beavis and butthead episode lol) and they get basically no radio play at all and they still sell albums. Bulls on Parade and People of the Sun, along with hits like Testify got round the clock airplay on mtv2 and mtv. I sure hope they sell a bit more than pantera because their being marketed quite differently. Pantera had to do it on their own and i respect that.
Now i didnt want this to turn into a pissing match man, in fact this thread is starting to degrade quite rapidly, i respected your opinion on guitarist alot more when you just refered to Tom as a guitar god but Eddie??? Im sorry but your never gonna convience me that someone who wrote Jump, Hot for teacher, and other 80s hits (someone who should be in say Montley Crues league) belongs next to true legends like Hindrix, Beck, Clapton, Vahn, and Page.
