Rather than debate the best (which will have Jimi Hendrix more than likely running away) I ask who is your favorite? Choose from the poll or tell us your other choices since you can only fit 25 on there :(

My top five:

Eddie Van Halen - this guy got me to pick up a guitar. It was a dream to see him live.

Eric Clapton - There's a reason he's called GOD

John Petrucci - Amazingly technical, brilliant musician

Hughie Thomasson - The Outlaws/Lynyrd Skynyrd so underrated it hurts.

Allen Collins - Lynyrd Skynyrd - Guy writes one of the most praised solos of all time but never gets the recognition...

And yes, I know the threads been done before, but I don't want just another "Lol of curs Jimi he cAn plAy wit t33th loz" thread.
 
Joe Perry. C'mon and preach it, Truthteller.
 
Jimmy Page is my personal favorite of all time and I would also consider himone of the all time greats.

I am also a huge fan of The Edge (he is not in the best ever arguement like Page, simply one of my favorites).
 
in no particular order....danny methric, jack white, jimmy page, pete townshend.

Joe so pwnz :up: And he's got hot sauce :D but I gotta give props to Eddie too :up: It's all good :D
 
for solo guitar players i've always loved listening to steve vai and joe satriani...unbelievable, imo...i could only wish to play like that
 
Miami Steve Van Zandt of the E-Street Band is very disappointed that you didn't include him. And now he's going to whack you.

Ya know it still amazes me that I've been compared favorably with early Joe. I wish I was that good.
 
You lose. No Maelsteen? :down

And I picked Hammett. Not because he's good, but because he's been into it for a long time, and goes back and goes to school to learn more.
 
Wait. You also left off Carlos Santana? Holy ****.
 
Ppl All Hear is AC/DC ON The Radio Sure I Can Pick Five More ppl but the the band i hear the most is AC/DC

Okay, how much are we betting that this guy's a previously banned user re-registered for the sole purpose of being an annoying jackass?

Put your wagers in the kitty, folks.
 
The kitty's too lazy to take in bets.
