Cheesy doesn’t mean “sucks”. Slash, getting out the church to play his solo in “November Rain”, might look cheesy for the youth of today. But, damn. Give me of that cheese anyday. ---

> [@Gangster\_Octopus](#): > > Ok, here’s one of my enntries, [Aldo Nova Fantasy](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nF87ZoW9Jo). At about 3:50 he starts his guitar solo where he throws in just about every cliched move and facial expression. But the whole vidoe, including his leopard print outfit is pretty cheesy. Actually, that was \*\* Nobody\*\*'s entry, post 19. ---

The year… is 1982. And a young E-Sabbath buys his first heavy metal album. Was it Black Sabbath? No. No, it was not. It was someone much more of the era. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KW2J_UZ8lQU/hqdefault.jpg "Quiet Riot - Cum On Feel The Noize") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KW2J_UZ8lQU) Come On Feel The Noise, Quiet Riot Trust me. Watch the whole thing. There’s a head-bobbing bit with a big cheesy grin. ---

I give you [Tony Peluso (at about 1:32 and more at the end)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nooeMrCws-A). What do I win? That’s some depressing cheese right there. ---

No single bit is less cheesy than the whole. The guitarist, therefore, is the cheesiest to ever appear. Special attention should be paid to all guitars appearing… or not appearing… in the video.

> [@Hippy\_Hollow](#): > > Somewhere I remember someone opining that guitar solo face was the same as the dude’s O face. Get that image out of your head. To this day I can’t watch Clapton play a solo. It’s known as [guitar wanking](http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2008/05/07/may460.jpg). Some people are more obvious about it than others. You could think of Clapton as being soulful if that helps. ---

The coolest geek in rock: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/SyTu_ZdcBCo/hqdefault.jpg "Donnie Iris") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyTu_ZdcBCo) Guitar solo starts 2 minutes in. The video is for Donnie Iris’ “Ah Leah!” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cheesiest-guitarist-in-a-music-video/553137.md?page=2)
