Which one of these musical icons did more to revolutionize guitar?
 
i'll bite ....

i like this thread no greatest ,no best tone just mid level guys battling it out kinda like celebrity guitar player death match ....hmm let me see
in an asskickin contest it would have to be Mick
in a ripping shred fest i would have to go with C.C.
all things said i think C.C. wins just because of the amount of guitars in the opening riffing in the video to "talk dirty to me"...wins for greatest ego show in videos ...EXCESS BABY

Not to piss in your Cheerios, but what did either do to "revolutionize" guitar playing?
 
Mick Mars had a better tone and feel for what a song needed. Motley wasn't out to reinvent music and Mars wasn't out to compete with the Vai's and Lynch's of the time. Even though some of his solo's (Too Young to Fall in Love, Home Sweet Home) were pretty tasty. Even the tapping on Dr. Feelgood was kind of tongue and cheek.

CC had one of the worse tones of all time and played to the audience trying to gain respect that frankly he or Poison would never see. I actually like his tasty playing on "Look What the Cat Drag In" better than the lickity split player of the other albums. Sad thing about CC was he was actually classically trained & would perform Bach during his extended concert solos.

The only points I give was that he was one of the main songwriting contributors to Poison riff wise and the band wasn't the same even after they brought in more talented solo players. Sixx wrote the majority of Crue's material. However just rating them as a player, I have to do with Mick Mars. Even though he was 60 when he joined the Crue and covered his arms in baby powder to hide his liver spots.
 
Wig and Liver spots?

Hands down, MICK MARS is the man!!! He is the most underrated guitar player in metal. Motley Crue would not have beed what it was without Mick Mars. Mick just rocked and played what Motley needed for the song. I saw them in 1990 on Dr. Feelgood tour and his guitar solo was great! He cameout and played steel guitar for a minute or so then he ripped it up with is Mirrior Telecaster shaped Kramer! It was great. He is one of my favorite players.
C.C. is good but just a cocky, arogant little prick. He played some great solos and wrote some great riffs but, I was never into them.
I'd have to go with Mick Mars!

Are you kidding me??????? Mick Mars or C.C.? These are your choices for "revolutionary" guitar players??? Um.......let's see C.C. wrote a couple of pretty good 3 chord songs, no wait so did Mick. C.C. played basically all blues scales for leads, Mick did alot of penatonic scales. Who wore the most make-up? Don't get me wrong.............I LOVED Poison and Motley Crue, but to say either Mick or C.C. revolutionized ANYTHING besides flashy spandex is a complete joke. C'mon man.........you gotta be pulling my leg! :rolleyes:

Uh yeah, kind of what my thought's are.
 
I could't tell you which one is technically better or more creative, but I don't enjoy Poison. Motley Crue have created a lot of catchy tunes.
 
The first time I ever caught poison was on MTV.. and this was back before MTV ummm.. nevermind.


So anyway, I flipped it on and I saw Poison's video "I WANT ACTION".

Bobbi Dahl was spinning her guitar around her back, Rikki was pounding her drums.. puckering her lips.. Brett was shakin her ass and C.C. .. oh my god.. prancing back and forth around the set full of ego! Can you say, "Boooing oing oing oing!!!! 8==1"==2"==3"=>"

It only took me a few seconds to decide that I wanted to bang the chick with the frizzy white hairdoo. It was only after another 90 seconds I started to get a funny feeling about this new girl band... then it was like... WHAT...THE...FUCK MAN...

Hey, have you ever talked to C.C. or heard his voice? You would see him all glammed up with the pretty clothes, poofy hair, makeup and lipstick then hear his voice... and SWEAR somebody dropped some acid in your beer.


That was when I knew I didn't like the glam scene. There is nothing worse than getting a macho stud like myself (/cue laughter) all hot and horney only to find out that this hot chick is some DUDE.




So.. my choice would be Mick Mars. Besides, he's always considered himself an "In the pocket" player and wants to be remembered as a Blues guy. Mick revolutionized "In the pocket" playing!

I would have hated to be around when you first saw "Do you really want to hurt me " by the Culture Club.

I remember when Boy George got busted for Coke and it was all over the television. I remember him saying, "I don't know what the big deal is! Everyone does it in this buisness!?".

That was a big knock to his image and following (12 year old girls) which caused his album sales to suffer.


That was my VERY FIRST lesson in what can happen if you are famous and get careless. The media gets ALL OVER you and will tear you a new one.


Remember PeeWee Herman? He was just enjoying himself practicing safe sex and it trashed his career. I mean cmon.. I've gotten thrown out of Mcdonalds, Wal*Mart, green room and a few isolation booths for spanking the monkey.... no problem. PeeWee gets caught crankin in a porno theatre and it's worldwide news. All because he's PeeWee Herman!



Still, Mick Mars is the man. Listen to the guitar work on "Come on and Dance" off the Too Fast for Love album. I'll take that tone over a Mesa Boogie any day. Hmmm.. wonder what model Mick used on that one.
 
It's amazing to me the number of serious replies to this rediculous thread! :D
 
I'm also amazed at how many people took it seriously.
