Lol at all the fucking idiots comparing Bellamy and Greenwood. They're both amazing musicians and are definately 2 of the greatest active musicians at the moment.
Frusciante and Greenwood. Probably the two most amazing guitarists, songwriters and musicians of the last 20 years, and anyone who knows them beyond ''Snow'' or ''Karma Police'' will surely agree.
Its funny to see how back in the day Jonny used to be the cool to Thom's strange. And to all the people arguing over whether he's the best guitarist ever - I think we can all agree that Jonny is the best ondes martenot player of all time.
As a musician he is better than anybody but Jonny is certainly not the best guitarist ever,not even Top 5.That is a good thing though because he will just never get bored of any instrument he plays (including the lemon :D )He is very skilled with the instrument and I am pretty sure we haven't seen his technical maximum on the instrument
personally i'd put Greenwood ahead of Richards, ahead of Santana. I'd put him with Hendrix, Clapton, Petrucci, Page, Gates, Bellamy, Vaughan, Cheney. I'd put him in the best of all time
My God Johnny is an incredible guitarist. I can't think of a guitarist who punctuates music the way he does, whether through a solo, background textures, or creating other worldly tones with a friggin quarter.
jonny is the sickest most innovative guitarist in music today, so much cooler than wylde, mayer or any of the guitar players that fanboys seem to love
Apples and Oranges! Everyone has their own style/vibe so it's fruitless to compare. Also, Jonny has no real interests in soloing whatsoever or we would have heard more from him esp. from The Bends/Ok Computer era as those two were the perfect vehicle for Jonny solos but it's not to be. Radiohead's music was never built around the lead guitar (and solos) anyway but I'm pretty sure if Jonny wanted to, he could easily create intricate guitar solos just as easily as writing a score for a film.
If a guitarrist can play solos like a god... (like most guitarrist) then he's awesome.... as the same as everyone else that can play solos as a god... k?
Ok. So like the past 8 pages of comments are just you guys bitching about who's a "better" guitarist; Jonny vs. Bellamy vs. Frusciante etc. These guys are all amazing musicians and I'm sure that they don't give a shit about who's better anymore than I do. Everyone has their own opinion so there pretty much isn't a right or wrong. Lets just not be douches and all get along k?;)
@AwesomeBuddy12: Couldn't have said it better, anyways u can't really compare guitarists when they have such drastically different playing styles altogether. I'd rather bring guitarists together than pitt them against each other. I don't know about anyone else but I'd love to see Jonny Greenwood and John Frusciante collaborate, I'd soil myself if that happened. In fact, I'd club a baby seal to make that a reality (joke) :)
@AwesomeBuddy12 yeeaaaa Bellamy's argument came from me...sorry about that...and i agree with everything you said. i want to add that atheres no way any guitarist is going to be better than another because we all have our own styles. we should only worry about becoming better than ourselves, and thats life's true challenge :)
@gavinellis ha.. hahahha... you obviously know nothing. if you know anything about music you would know jonny greenwood is a frickin innovator when he picks up a guitar, or sits at a piano. so. how does it feel to know nothing about music?
@AwesomeBuddy12 You obviously ignore vast areas of his solo projects and the last 3 or 4 RHCP albums. That said I love both Jonny and John immensely, but saying that he plays too similar to Hendrix means either you havent listened to anything he did after 1989 or you just saw a couple of out of context solos on youtube where he deliberately indulges in hendrix style. Check out his solo works and some live performances for mindblowing guitar playing
@AwesomeBuddy12 John Frusciante has his own unique style as well. Otherwise, he wouldn't be as praised or recognized for it. To be fair though, it is tough to comapre the two because they each have UNIQUE styles of play that are instantly recognizable amongst listeners. Not one of them is better than the other. That goes for you as well @FleaFlyCze
@TheGOODMUSICADDICTED i had no idea that Muse's gossip was bad...and i respect Jonny too, but i dont think thathe was always Matt fav guitarist. he started playing guitar after he saw a Jimi Hendrix vid of him dstroying his guitar..but Jonny was a big influence on him, of course...no Radiohead comparisons please :D :D :D we all know about THEM ;)
What is so special about these solo's? It's incredbly mediocre... Is it a technique I don't know about? A feeling I can't get into? Don't mistake me for a hater, I actually listen tot some of Radiohead's music, but I don't get why this is so awesome. For the exact same reason I think John Fruciante and Adam Jones are overrated... (And I actually am a fan of tool, but I still think they're overrated.)
@Redspy27 Don't throw around the overrated word. Music is subjective, and if you don't catch the feeling, the context, the groove or the beauty of some kind of music its perfectly fine. There is so much music like jazz that I cannot say I understand, however I would never go and say something dire like "Jazz is overrated". That said, IMO Frusciante, Jones, Greenwood and Rodriguez lopez are the most brilliant guitarists out there.
Wow, grew up loving this band. Well, I loved The Bends and OK Computer. Can't believe I used to think this guy could play? Wow he is terrible. Guess after discovering to Jake E. Lee its hard to listen to anyone else.
When someone makes a list of favourites it is their personal opinion that you do not need to share. They are not saying whomever is the best, just who they enjoy the most.
@AwesomeBuddy12 Liking Jonny Greenwood doesn't give you the right to laugh at Matt Bellamy. Genious can apreciate other genious and know one when they see one. That's why you aren't a genious.
@AwesomeBuddy12 its annoying radiohead fans like you that judge everybody else under radiohead as shit really dumb. PS no1 gives a shit about your band so take down the annoying ads.
Kurt was a star but doesn't compare guitar wise. Gallagher writes great tunes but seriously, his guitar playing sucks massive cock. Bellamy rocks, but takes all his inspiration from jonny, Van Halen should not come anywhere near this list, he can play, but in a bland American wanker type of way. Coxon is the only contender for Jonny's crown.
@juniwilliams oh...i dont know...now that it comes to it...how DID he make it??? haha maybe he could be replaced with Rivers Cuomo: he IS a good guitarist :)
@goodgodyou I don't prefer one over the other. I like Both. He sounds great in the Studio and He sounds great Live while doing awesome shit live. What more could you ask of a Musician?
@goodgodyou What the hell do you mean Replicating the Effects? Do you seriously want every song to be "Note-for-note?" Please, dude. Watch Maybe a Couple of Videos from HAARP. The reason he runs around on stage and Jumps is BECAUSE He's Feeling the emotion. I don't think people just run and jump for no reason....Yes, it's a Visual spectacle to see a guitarist doing that, but What I'm saying is He's Full of Emotion. Matt pours out Pure Soul through His Mansons.
@goodgodyou I agree with you on the Showmanship But I think Matt Balances both equally. He would be showing off if he payed more attention to His running around rather than his overall playing and singing. But since he can do Both Run around, Have a clear voice, AND Play Amazing, often Improvising his own solos and making them sound better than the studio versions defintely Earns a golden Star on My Book. Now if just Jumped around but his playing sucked, you'd be right.
@MUSICISTHELIFE90 haha no not Rolling Stones the ROLLING STONE you know, the magazine. It has published lots of top lists, and both Jonny and Ed are in the list of best guitarrists of all time , and actually, they're before David Gilmour. but neither Matt or Slash are in it xD ( slash is still better, though)
@MUSICISTHELIFE90 Matt better than Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton? bwahahahahahaha dude where did you find that list?? Matt Bellamy isn't at the Rolling stone list, yet, he's more overrated that Slash. hell, even my guitar teacher is better than him!!! and Matt actually admires Jonny.
@mestayno He uses a coin rubbed on the strings. Depending on the frequency of the coin, where on the fretboard it's used, and what fret is being held, he produces various harmonics.
Muse only puts half as much effort into their songs as Radiohead does. Muse will probably NEVER write a song like "Paranoid Android" or "How to Disappear Completely". And the reason why Muse is more popular nowadays is because their music is more mainstream and "in the style". And of course, they are much younger and better looking which gives them an advantage. Radiohead's music is considered ART, Muse's isn't.
@AwesomeBuddy12 The Tourist, Airbag and Electioneering, it seems to me that that ones(older ones), from Ok Computer era are really rare, as a matter of fact, I can't find them(full concert videos) anywhere
@runlikehell73 The Tourist, Airbag and Electioneering, it seems to me that that ones(older ones), from Ok Computer era are really rare, as a matter of fact, I can't find them(full concert videos) anywhere
Jonny is and has always been one of Matt's favorite guitarists! IMO Bellamy isnt really special at all. Sure he can play fast, but whatever happened to making music and actually having soul in playing? That's what makes Jonny a better guitar player than Bellamy. Having soul and not just trying to show off. I dont think he'll ever learn. XD
@AwesomeBuddy12 What do you mean no soul? You ever heard one of Matt's solo's?
Dude, the Emotion that guy puts into playing...You don't see Jonny Wearing Addidas Cleats and Jumping and running around the stage. Matt's emotion is amazing, and as for the "He plays fast", What do you think he is? a Metal head? Most of their songs aren't all that fast. Please, don't Bash On one of the Greatest Guitarists in the Last Decade. Go Listen to Darkshines or Fury.
@AwesomeBuddy12 he's not the best, but he certainly is impressive. Especially when you take into consideration how he compliments his guitar playing with his vocal prowess. I wouldn't say he shows off, but you have to understand that he's the bloody front man and lead guitarist of the band. Some level of showing off is almost demanded, especially live.
@AwesomeBuddy12 wow he does the flashy stuff so he doesnt have soul? im pretty sure that if Jonny does the same flashy stuff that you would be saying the same shit about him. did you forget all about Angus Young? obviously you did. the duckwalk is legendeary, and so is Matt's spin that he does during Plug in Baby..im not trying to defend my fav guitarist over greenwood (theyre both amazing) but i forgot that im in RADIOHEAD TERITORY and also that Muse v Radiohead battles still must be alive!!!
Wow that is so wierd, I made a montage with almost the exact same clips. Only I didn't have backdrafts or faithless the wonder boy. I never uploaded it because the different file types and quality meant it came out rubbish, what program did you use.
The only other clip that would be great to have in here would be the solo from polyethalene, his greatest bit of shredding.
One of the most underrated guitarists ever to play pop music. Hell, one of the most underrated and overlooked musicians in the world. His abilities with electronic instruments and his ability to create great scores (see There Will Be Blood) are almost as intense as his skills on the guitar. I don't even want to know what it would be like to work with Jonny Greenwood, it would probably make you feel like you've wasted your life.

@mestayno He uses a coin rubbed on the strings. Depending on the frequency of the coin, where on the fretboard it's used, and what fret is being held, he produces various harmonics.

When it goes to Paranoid Android, I feel like I'm on an acid trip on the broken fast-forward button. *_*

Muse only puts half as much effort into their songs as Radiohead does. Muse will probably NEVER write a song like "Paranoid Android" or "How to Disappear Completely". And the reason why Muse is more popular nowadays is because their music is more mainstream and "in the style". And of course, they are much younger and better looking which gives them an advantage. Radiohead's music is considered ART, Muse's isn't.

@AwesomeBuddy12 You're totally wrong and a fanboy. You probably haven't even listened to any work of muse.

Jonny is and has always been one of Matt's favorite guitarists! IMO Bellamy isnt really special at all. Sure he can play fast, but whatever happened to making music and actually having soul in playing? That's what makes Jonny a better guitar player than Bellamy. Having soul and not just trying to show off. I dont think he'll ever learn. XD

@AwesomeBuddy12 What do you mean no soul? You ever heard one of Matt's solo's?
Dude, the Emotion that guy puts into playing...You don't see Jonny Wearing Addidas Cleats and Jumping and running around the stage. Matt's emotion is amazing, and as for the "He plays fast", What do you think he is? a Metal head? Most of their songs aren't all that fast. Please, don't Bash On one of the Greatest Guitarists in the Last Decade. Go Listen to Darkshines or Fury.

@AwesomeBuddy12 he's not the best, but he certainly is impressive. Especially when you take into consideration how he compliments his guitar playing with his vocal prowess. I wouldn't say he shows off, but you have to understand that he's the bloody front man and lead guitarist of the band. Some level of showing off is almost demanded, especially live.

@AwesomeBuddy12 wow he does the flashy stuff so he doesnt have soul? im pretty sure that if Jonny does the same flashy stuff that you would be saying the same shit about him. did you forget all about Angus Young? obviously you did. the duckwalk is legendeary, and so is Matt's spin that he does during Plug in Baby..im not trying to defend my fav guitarist over greenwood (theyre both amazing) but i forgot that im in RADIOHEAD TERITORY and also that Muse v Radiohead battles still must be alive!!!

Wow that is so wierd, I made a montage with almost the exact same clips. Only I didn't have backdrafts or faithless the wonder boy. I never uploaded it because the different file types and quality meant it came out rubbish, what program did you use.
The only other clip that would be great to have in here would be the solo from polyethalene, his greatest bit of shredding.

One of the most underrated guitarists ever to play pop music. Hell, one of the most underrated and overlooked musicians in the world. His abilities with electronic instruments and his ability to create great scores (see There Will Be Blood) are almost as intense as his skills on the guitar. I don't even want to know what it would be like to work with Jonny Greenwood, it would probably make you feel like you've wasted your life.
