Ah Gary Moore, my all time favourite.
Yes he used effects but he had so much emotion & feel in his playing.
Could play many style & make them his own, blues, rock, metal, shredding, flamenco etc & often played all those styles in one song.
Shredding just for shreddings sake leaves me a little cold TBH.
Players like for instance Buckethead, although obviously very talented, who just shreds continuously, don"t do a lot for me, although I appreciate shredding has it"s place.
A local hero of mine, & very underrated IMO is wales own Tony Bourge, ex Budgie guitarist
Im in to metal so i would say Synester gates deserves a mention also John 5 very under rated guitarist but the main man has to be dime back incredible guitarist
He still is Sludge, this is from a 2013 solo album he released (the first in about 20 years I think) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7gpK2RkZBw
Bit more mellow & laid back now than when he was in Budgie & Tredegar but he was 64 when he recorded the above (he"s 68 now).
Still a class player though, very underrated IMO
Not sure about Kyuss, but for QOTSA the bass amp is part of it, but his main trick is using a Maestro Parametric Filter MPF-1 that was designed by Bob Moog back in the 1970's, which he has since been replaced by a Stone Deaf PDF-1 pedal (which is an enhanced copy of the MPF-1).
My view of music is that the song comes first, so you play with that in mind. For me it's all about the interaction between the various instruments, and not necessarily the complexity of each part. Incidentally, I was on the side of those who were very happy to see the end of the 20-minute guitar solo!
PS I also rate Bernard Sumner
When all is said and done, music should simply have the power to do this ..
