Nice lists you compiled today Nords... I have to say that I think Eddie Van Halen is the greatest electric guitar player of all-time, even better than Hendrix. If you want proof, take a trip through memory lane and listen to Michael Jackson's "Beat It", as Eddie was on guitar for this song, and you will hear Eddie just flat tear it up in the guitar solo. Unbelievable!!!

Once again, I knew some substitutions would be made. I love Slash, and I am glad he is with an active band, Velvet Revolver, but I thought over all Mark Knopfler was a better picker. Everyone has their sentimental favorites and yes Slash is more than just a sentimental favorite.

Well I would have to compile for my own taste a different list with a few similar personnel on it....
(1) Eddie VanHalen
(2) Randy Rhoads
(3) Eric Clapton
(4) Ace Frehley- doesn't get the credit he deserves
(5) Joe Satriani
(6) Jimi Hendrix
(7) Dimebag Darrell - RIP
(8) Jimmy Page
(9) Brian May
(10) George Lynch - great live especially
Thought I'd just share my thoughts with you all.

No biggie plu... That is the hard part about good lists. You can always say "so and so needs to be on the list", but sometimes there is nobody to remove as they are all so good.Mike Nordin wrote:O.K., I should be slapped for that one! I should know better. But, where do you put him on the list, and who do you take off.

Mike, thanks for mentioning George Lynch. At least someone here has an ear for music. He is right with Vaughn and Hendrix. Nobody mentioned Warren DeMartini or Billy Gibbons. Billy Gibbons was Jimi Hendrix's FAVORITE guitarist. That says something. But I have a soft spot for one man.....

Nice call, Hank, on Ozzy's Zakk Wylde. Truely a great guitarist. I have to agree with Mike Nordin, you are a true rocker. I'd have never known that from the classes I shared with you in high school. I've gained a whole new respect for you Mr. Rauenhorst. I bow to a true fan of great Hard Rock!!

I'll weigh in on this one. Dime Bag really should be mentioned. He was truly a cowboy from hell. I watched his band open up for Skid Row in the old Convention Center, I am positive Sebastian Bach probably pee pee'd his pants when he saw Pantera tear up the stage before he went on. It was sweeeeet. ![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
