@ aitraining & kockeykaveman: To compare Rik and Alex is an insult to both. They are altogether different types of rock guitarists. They are true artists in their own individual rights. Rik an artist of scales and arpeggio and a hard rock approach, and Alex an artist of off-beat time-changing tremolos, feeling-driven fills and screaming single-notes with the more progressive Steve howe short of playing style. Really you just can't compare them. Listen to Beyond Borders and you see the difference

@kockykaveman I agree! Rik in a shootout would kill Alex
-
@EndlesslyRocking that´s the question....jeje great guitarris both..
-
rike emmett is andalways will be great alix lifeson is good but hes no rik emmett not even close
-
@EndlesslyRocking Forgive me for making this assumption, but my guess is that you prefer Lifeson. Would I be right in this statement? You seem to respect his spontaneity over Emmett's styling. However, I must mention that Lifeson also took classical guitar lessons, but abandoned them so he could stay with Rush.

@EndlesslyRocking I think Leif Erickson was better because he had the advantage of being a Viking. They could pretty much do anything they please with no consequences. Carry on.

Once again. 100,000 people like something. How does it feel to be the two that don't like?
Alex Lifeson or Rik Emmett? Whos better?
The correct answer is: "Neither" Music/Art are not a competition! How can one honestly judge ones interpetation of thier emotion while creating thier art?
They are both comming from completely different places at the musical table!
Rik is classically school trained, precise & quite predictable! Alex for instance is truly an instinctive player as opposed to a methodical player & thus affords him to truly create & have his own unique style!

Phenomenal musicianship! Whatever happened to the great guitarists like these? So glad we have these videos to prove what real music was ... and could be again if people cared.
