Welcome, come, read, learn, enjoy.

Edit from Jen: Because I was bored, I took the liberty of writing the thread author's names with the titles if they weren't the person who posted the bio. Silly, I know. Oh well. Enjoy!

do u think its possible to get a jimmy page or led zeppelin topic on here?

here ill write some rules



if you want to write a ledends biography then write out the whole thing in a PM and PM it to angusyoungfan and he will copy it into a thread and post it, you will get full credit for it


no one can post a thread exept improv rob and the moderator, so as i said PM ur biography to angus and he will ad it


that way this forum will continue to go on

I've already done a Jimmy Page Legends thread .

Zak

where's my legend?

Im gonna post it soon i was gonna add a discography onto it . If thats all right?

Zak

yep... want me to do it?

i cant seem to see it!!!

could you post a link or something plz

thnx

I don't see any Jimmy Page

I don't know if many people here know about any of the members of mayhem, but I think that Euronymous, Dead or Count Grishnaks biography, (or indeed all 3 of them) would make great reading...

well if you can write one and PM it to angusyoungfan, he will then post it and give you all the credit at the top of the post

start writing

the lads are right. there are some legends missing. but i do remember having read a legends on jimmy page....

There are no legends missing . I did a number of legends specials etc for example there is no number 7 and 8 because i made that a special double legends and the number indocation is inside the thread not marked on the outside the same goes for the Jimmy Page one he was part of a four legend special if i remember correctly Ill be fixing it soon so that the contents of al legends is noted in the topic title

Zak

I have got a question: What or who decides who's a legend and who's not? And is this forum section only for legends? Or may we add BIO:s about our own favourite guitarists (who are less-known and/or less-talented)?

Well Me Angusyoungfan started the legends threads a good while ago so i decided who each weeks legend was . Yes this forum is for musical legends . If you check the threads you will sere that eachy legend starts with an introduction fo who he/she is then there is a biography and then a discography . There are some very well known musicians in the threads and also some less known ones .

Zak

Okay, but does that mean we can add any musican we wish to? Say someone wanted to add Tom Delonge (which I hope no one would), and this person wrote a well-written biography and discography about him, and submitted it, would it be added?

Tough question .I personally would not submit a Tom Delonge Legends thread manily because the guy ain't w legend sure he was quite an influence to some punkers etc But a legend ? I don't think so . When you look at who have been written aboutin the legends threads

Page
Clapton
hendrix
Galagher
Gary Moore
Joni Mitchell ETC

He doesn't even come close to the legendary status that these guys have .

But yes if you type a legends thread and send it to VIA PM i woul be happy to submit it once i have verified it

Zak

A good suggestion to add to ur little Legends Forum would maybe be..

Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones

good idea?

one step ahead of you bud he's on my to do list

You see ages ago way back when i started these i made a thread asking people who they thought i should do legends on i ended up with about 50-60 different names etc keith being one of them the others being in this forum so that still means i have quite a few left to do So await my friend and you shall be rewarded Unless of course you were wanting to do one?

Zak

No ill leave it to you. Thanks anyway. But yea no rush, i just wanted to see if anyone was gonna do him later.

Ok, thanks. But as I said, I never intended to write anything about Tom Delonge. I just used him as an example to make it clear. But thanks anyway, Perhaps I'll send you some stuff later on.

could you make something about jason becker? im interested about that guy...

I a few suggestions for legends that you could/should put on your list of people to do. The Tom Delonge thing sparked the thought. Joe Strummer of the Clash, Joey Ramone (as much as he wasn't a wonderful guitarist, he was extremely influential, and there for a legend in my book), Tim Armstrong and Lars Friedrickson of Rancid, and Bobby Steele from the Misfits.

I know this is a long list, but I feel that these aretist, or at least the first two are extremely inluential and legendary.

Also, I am working on doing some research on a guitar hero of mine. He is not well known, but from what I have read, he certainly had an impact on music in his own way. He was even asked to play at the opening of the Rock and Roll hall of fame, or at least I think it was the opening, though I do know that he did play there. When I have something written about him, I will let you know. I may even be able to get some quotes from him if he doesn't move off too soon.

Tele Hoe

I'm not that good of a writter so can some one do Zakk Wylde or SRV some justice and write a thing about them.

I'm a bit llate in this discussion but I guess I would be because this forum is dead. Angus young may rock but the best in my mind is Yngwie Malmsteen.

i 2nd the motion....but i have a question if you don't mind guitarists around the planet....are michael angelo and michael romeo two different people

could you make something about BLACK SABBATH

Could somone post one for Randy Rhoads.That would be awesome.

I`m a horrible writer so I`ll leave the writing up to you guys...
Thy List: randy rhodes, tony iommi, kurt cobain, johnny lee hooker, hendrix
B.B. king, slash, kirk hammet, angus young, joe satriani, david gilmour,
hold on I`m hungry, i`ll be back later...

check again. some of them have been done

where's syd barrett? first ever prog guitarist! ###### steve howe!

Also Frank zappa. He is an absolutly genious.

He is an absolutly genious? I think you have been listenin to too much zappa .

Don't preach to me!

Just a quick word of thanks:

Thanks. You guys are doin' great, and I read every single one of these.

kurt cobain he is a legend!!

oops just saw the zappa page. nevermind.

I'd love to see Nick Drake on here. Or some modern legends like Ani Defranco...

Peter Gabriel? Syd Barrett? David Bowie? J Mascis? Eddie Vedder? Neil Young?

Edit; never mind

Could you have the artists in order of last name instead of first?

I like that idea I think that will make it a little easier to find them, but that is just my opinion.

I'm kinda sad to see no Neil Young on there, but hey ho

That and Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, etc...

Can i call dibs on Mike McCready?

Of course! Major and I are always looking for people to do our work for us!
