The thread on what popular/good guitarist do you hate was eventful, so I
thought I'd try this variant.

A few suggestions to kick things off:
- One might propose that anything Clapton did after dropping the Gibson for
Fender, but the truth is he still got some good sounds out of a
Stratocaster.  That said, does Clapton's post Gibson tone get a description
akin to the "Woman Tone" era?
- Vivian Campbell's tone on the Dio album Holy Diver - lack balls for that
sort of music.  The title track could do with plenty more "chunk".
- Mick Mars of Motley Crue in the solo for Home Sweet Home (terrible solo
too, and the song isn't much better).

It's actually not that easy to find a tone that I hate: perhaps "every tone
has a home"?

Which tone do I hate?

Anything except supper distorted over saturated HEAVY METAL tones.
Everything is is WEAK!  :)

I'm kidding of course. Actually, if I could duplicate that Gary Moore
'Still Got the Blues' solo tone, I would never look for another.

I like this guy's sound even better and I can come pretty close to
it. I put a DiMarzio Bluesbucker in the neck of my Tele and play it
thru a gained up Pork Loin into a Fender Deluxe Reverb. And best of
all, my DiMarzios don't hummmm...
