we all know how good valley of chrome, SIN, fuseboxx are. we even have a lot of shredders and bluesmen here in the forum.
IMO, Mainstream/pop music, most of the time di masyado na shoshowcase yung talent ng gitarista para kumagat sa masa.
i watched rocksteddy some time ago and i remember na bilib ako sa mga guitarist nila. di ako fan ng band, but fan ako ng gitarista nila.
i really like benson from stonefree. he makes good music, simple but very melodic. Very much like Marcus Adoro, imo.
of course, si chuck isidro, i remember that riff from mangarap ka got me started in guitars. i like his stuff from 6 cycle, though i'm not a fan of their lyrics.
the guy from Mayonnaise is awesome, too!
