SLAYER

slipknot - top vocalist & drummer in the genre

I know he's not hard rock, but I have to throw the Boss out here. I saw Bruce Springsteen live solo, without the E Street Band (which I truly enjoy as well) in like 04. The man played 8 or so different instruments throughout the show and was great with all of em. I'm not a musician, so I can't speak of his tech ability, but it all sounded amazing to me.

Some food for thought. IMHO bands of yesteryear seem to be viewed as more "real". Like they never sold out. Like they will never be matched by any talentless wit of today. I think it bears stating that with mass instant communication and marketing, it's much easier to be considered a sell out than it would have been in the 70's.

Today if Trent Reznor takes a dump in New Jersey, Bob the Baker can smell it in Orange County before he flushes.

Holy shit i'm stoned. L8r all

OK, yeah. The Boss and the E-Street Band for sure. The Faces, Velvet Undergound, Red Hot Chili Peppers (YOW!), the original Lynyrd Skynyrd, Yes, Dave Matthews Band and Gomez for now...

thank you Florida Mon above me....

i cant BELIVE no one mentioed Red Hot Chili Peppers yet....

Frusciante and Flea are the best guitar/bass combo alive! and chad is the man on the drums.....kiedis could go on the vocals though, his voice sucks from all the drugs

not the same genre most are posting bout, seems to be a "rock" only thread, but just thought I throw this into the mix.. Sizzla, this Artiste constantly putting out tracks, albums, remixs, colabs, etcetc. Just go do a google for Sizzla discography and then a <insert artist name> discrography search and tell me what you notice differnt bout the two, prolly 30 albums or so difference

Mr. Bungle, Naked City, Secret Cheifs 3.

Any bands out of that group of virtuoso musicians.
