Even when they're joking.... it's a nice thing to hear on my 21st. Ha-ha.

At the moment I'd say Eddie Van Halen, I've been listening to a bit of his live stuff from the 70's. I never realised quite how much he beat Paul Gilbert to the punch. Fantastic players all of them.

I haven't seen a worthwhile thread like this in some time, so i'll tag on here :)

1:Brian may
2:David Gilmour
3:Slash
4:Jimi Hendrix
5:Jimmy Page
6:Ace Frehly
