How about we rename this: MY TOP 10 GUITARIST
1. Gary Moore-Not the blues stuff he's doing now, dig deep, find his 80's solo stuff, and of course when he was with Thin Lizzy).2. Michael Schenker-Rock Bottom still sends chills up my spine every time I hear it.3. Edward Van Halen-Does anything have to be said......4. Ace Frehley-Yes, not the greatest player in the world, but the reason I started playing guitar (and I'm sure the reason a lot of other people did too).5. John Sykes-The man can play anything. Who is he....look at your Whitesnake album and listen, then go buy Thin Lizzy's Thunder & Lightning.6. Billy Gibbons-Nasty...just plain nasty.7. Joe Perry- If you don't own Aerosmith's Rocks album....YOU NEED TOO!8. Vivian Campbell-Capable of playing anything...wish he still did. No slight to Def Leppard, one of my favorite bands but sheesh Viv, get them fingers moving again!9. Randy Rhoads-It boggles my mind to think what he would be doing now if he were still alive.10. Jimmy Page-Just let me write one tune on par with anything this man has composed!....................No Scott you didn't make the list! LMAO
