i believe that this is one of the greatest "crossovers" ever to be made...and let´s face it, nowadays, at least in a "fame" ground, no one can beat them as solo guitarrists...(at least we hear so).

Which one of them is for you the greatest? Which style pleases you more? (there isn´t a real forum without questioning those 3!)
Could you choose any of them? (Ignore the fact that X was the teacher of Y...because there´s always a possibility for someone to overcome his master)
Go ahead, vote and discuss!!
(sorry, i´m just crazy about poLLLLLLLLLs! Goddamn it, i always write it wrong!!!!)

Yngwie for me.

None ...

I voted for Malmsteen only because Tolkki was not listed----but, he's not classed as a Titan, is he......Yet!

Still, TT is great! :headbang:

Hey, Petrucci's not listed.

Polls. POLLS. not pools. POLLS. AAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!! [Has neurotic moment]. *slap*

I don't know much about them, but this spirit "I'm the guitarist so I am the only one who has his name on the record and all other musicians are there as fillers" i don't like very much... I would prefer a Tolkki/Romeo/Petrucci crossover

Malmsteen.

Malmsteen is my son's guitar idol--a while back it was Mustaine.....who knows who will be next! But, he makes good choices!

But hey, i picked those two because they´re the main "pillars"...and let´s face it, if i had to pick all great guitarrists (not only those in solo carreer, i would certainly go mad...)

I put mine for Malmsteen, though Vai and Satriani are great as well. Malmsteen has been guiding my style of playing quite alot.

Dave Mustaine is one of my favourites too. That voice, those killing riffs and solos are indeed one of a kind.

For me it´s Yngwie Malmsteen



:owned1:

Malmsteen for me -- although he's an asshole, he's one hell of a guitarist.

oh come on...

even though malmsteen is a great gitarrist, i think steve vai is THE gitarrist...


and G3 is coming to Argentina in december!!!

I think he's cute, in a "Big Guy" sort of way!

Oh, Shit--he wears Black Leather pants, too.....:jump: Just like TT&Barry Manilow!

Malmsteen!!!
I haven't really listened to the other ones yet though, so I can't really compare him with them..

Ummm... all of them, although I am not really keen on Malmsteen, I admit his influence on a generation of guitarrists, Tolkki included!!

Tolkki has said his influence was also Ritchie Blackmore!

I was thinking this topic was about the movie Clash of Titans

that´s where i´ve got the idea from!

Jjajajajaja, BEG! who is the biggest influence for Malmsteen, apart from Johan Sebastian Bach?? Here´s a clue... his name is Ritchie! and also he uses a white fender strato.....
