Guitar Heroes of the 1980's. (Part III) 🎸

[@bigmonsdangolfuzzjamboree7086]

Glad to see my guys made it (Wolf Hoffman and Lars Johansson) and also thrilled to see the great Rocky George.

[@seagullpoet]

Lars - was the most fun to watch. Recently bought their live cd.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers! 🤘🏻

[@LuchaLibertaria]

Wolf Hoffmann is killing it on that Fast As A Shark solo. Talent + Charisma + Musicality all in one 👍🎸🎸🎸🎸

[@anunearthlychild8569]

Wolf Hoffmann has a classical education, you can tell that. Search here on KZbin for Wolf Hoffmann "Classical", he has made 2 solo albums on which he plays classic songs such as "the Moldau", "Hall of the mountain Kingsc, and many more

[@stonecold9132]

Wolf is so unique

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers! 🤘🏻

[@kenedie4646]

Great that Carlos Cavazo is in there! They are all excellent!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@romaincassignol]

Rocky George ! Criminally underrated guitarist 🤘🤘🤘🤘 !

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers! 🤘🏻

[@paulkraynak5604]

Glad to see KAT and Carlos Cavazo, oft overlooked! Carlos has gotten BETTER over the years, did THE most insane left-only hammer-ons I've ever seen, I couldn't believe my eyes or ears. And KAT redefines insanity, period.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@ravenreda4787]

EXACT🎉…

[@thalesvasconcellos2086]

I thought it was Stallone on the thumbnail.😂

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

yeah, Kane Roberts is something of a Stallone lookalike. :D

[@deantodd8103]

@@RuthlessMetalYT Yes, I always thought he looked like a metal Rambo.

[@yegenek]

He also had some machine gun like guitars.

[@neillbickerstaff6671]

Thank you for including Dave Meniketti 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers! 🤘🏻

[@llongone2]

Dave Meniketti was way ahead of his time.

[@whamsie4022]

I think that was my request.

[@darknesswinter0085]

Kane Roberts was jacked up. 💪💪

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Rambo! ;) Cheers! 🤘🏻

[@steve.hoffman]

Great series but still no Ronni LeTekro from TNT. He was, and still is, a monster on guitar. Technical, fast and inventive. And a great songwriter!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@DaleHusband]

Finally, a tribute to the late Steve Clark! So, why not combine all the 80s guitar hero parts into one longer video?

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Maybe. Not a bad idea

[@andrettski8686]

I like 'em the way Jim does them, in a series, not everyone has the time to watch an hour+ long vid. This way it keeps ya coming back for more.

[@gersixtyseven2171]

Dan Spitz ( early Anthrax), Rob Cavestany ( Death Angel) and Jeff Waters ( Annihilator) defined some fine thrash albums. I couldn't remember if you included them akready. Great video, as allways.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

cheerios! 🍻

[@jimjenkins3928]

Agreed!

[@davesiddons8921]

Lars Johannson was super tasty on the 80’s Candlemass albums, love the Bearer of pain solo

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@SaintMartins]

The only guitarist on this list i've seen live is Rocky George (ex-Suicidal Tendencies) in 1987 during the "Join The Army" tour. He was spectacular. He plays with the Cro-Mags now so you can still catch him live.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@SubwaySweden]

Finally Wolf Hoffmann and Kai Hansen..... if I where to have a guitar hero from the 80's it would be those two

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

hehe, yes sir!

[@bobjose5855]

Graham Bonnet sure liked working with shredders: Tafolla, Yngwie, Vai, Impellitteri. Then, there was Blackmore and Schenker

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

hehe, yeah. Cheers!

[@ricardovillanueva6440]

Although he is gone in this world, Shane Lane also deserves a place here.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

cheers

[@iggiignatius9907]

Michael L Firkins, John Hahn Greg Howe, Richie Kotzen, CC Deville, Michael Schenker, Uli jon Roth.😊

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@jaytracks]

Love these 80's videos! Brings me back to the old tape trading days these young guys have no idea about cheers

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers! 🤘🏻

[@PapaMetal47]

That Quiet Riot guitarist sounded a lot like Eddie Van Halen.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@DSchea]

Hell yeah I've watched that reb beach video so many times. Cutting loose

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

good shit

[@KatyaReminiec9399]

John Sykes ( Tygers of Pan Tang,Whitesnake,Blue Murder) .. He's a very skillfull guitarist

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

yes! cheers!

Bra lista som vanligt.. men saknar min favorit Ace "quorthon" Forsberg. Han var en stor inspirationskälla för alla Black Metal kids. 🤘🍻

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

ja, svårt att få in alla gubbar. Gillar också Quorthon men vi får se. gör jag ett femte avsnitt så kanske. fjärde e redan gjort men inte uppladdat än. :)🍻

Lars Johansson very nice sound & style🎉

Glad you included Hansen/Weikath - fathers of modern metal dueling guitars and excellent songwriters. Everything after are, frankly, clones.

Kane is the best man with gain!

Great variety of heavy metal guitarists through and through, but Reb was the one that stood out to me in this video.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

[@thomasfarmer1730]

I hope Bernie Torme (Gillan),Mark Gallagher (Raven),Mike Sweda (King Kobra,Bulletboys) ,Michael Stutzer (Artillery) made these lists 🤘

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Rocky Balboa. ;) Cheers!

[@cybermanne]

I saw Kane Roberts with Alice Cooper in Stockholm (it was off the Raise Your Fist and Yell tour so probably 1989). It was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Alice killed some girl with a bike or something. And us kids in the front rows were soaked in "blood". Good times! Then they decapitated poor old Alice. I think that show is somewhere on youtube. Good memories!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Fan vad coolt! Cheers!

The other day you reply me that the names that I mentioned on 70s version were too much Hard Rock for you but in this one I see about 3 of thouse! thing that I actually like a lot! HR guitarrist are ones of the best in rock music in general! Killer clip, anyways!

[@nicolasforfant484]

S...ty recording (no choice...) and certainly not his best, but thanks for aknowledging the great Wolff Hoffmann. Plus a bunch others who I just discovered on this occasion... Please go on spreading musical culture!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Yeah, lots of recordings are copyrighted.

[@seagullpoet]

Fun fun watch. These guitarists had good solid followings too. Their CDs are still being bought - the clip of Wolf wasn’t in the 80s though ? Or was it….. Anyone in Megadeth or King Diamond - were maniacs !

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers! 🤘🏻

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Couldnt find any clip that was good enough and not copyrighted

[@neillbickerstaff6671]

Can you do a top ten 80s drummers?!

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

We did a vote about drummers.

[@KatyaReminiec9399]

Why aren't Lita Ford( The Runaways/Solo), Kelly Johnson( Girlschool) & Jidy Turner ( Rock Goddess) mentioned on any of your lists ?

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Because I'm a sexist. ;) haha

[@alessandrozannettino918]

[@arturoalmazan5262]

Suicidal tendencies gave thrash metal a crossover way before Metallica and megadeth made their best albums. Rocky George deserves to be here. Wolf Hoffman and Accept are legendary dude. too bad UDO went on his own. i dont listen to his solo stuff. i love Accept more 🤘. Dave menikketti and Aldo nova deserved props even though they're not thrash or death metal

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

Cheers!

I didn't know Carlos Cavazo could play like this. I looked at him lightly. I want to sincerely apologize to him.

I wanted to ask you a thing: in a band with one lead guitarist, two rhythm guitarists, a bassist and drummer, who do you think would be doom, speed, thrash, black and death metal with which equipment and what kind of vocals (the bassist uses his fingers, the drummer plays using the snare-ride cymbal and hi hat foot technique and all five are the lead vocalists) Just to know how would you put it from your point of view.

[@RuthlessMetalYT]

I don't know what you're talking about?
