    I've noticed that our senators
    have very funny names.
    Like Lincoln, Zell, and Saxby.
    What's wrong with things like "James"?
    I think that this is crazy.
    I think that it should stop.
    I think this is the reason
    They confirmed John Ashcroft.

    You guys are crazy

    #1: Jimi Hendrix, he played with a wah and a fuzz, feedback and his teeth, no one had ever done before or will ever do it that good again
    #2: Jimi Page, a founding father. Played a Les Paul with a bow, played with Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and wrote Stairway to Heaven
    #3: Tony Iommi, grandfather of Metal. He actually be a grandfather five times over, and he can still kick ass with his SG
    #4: Zak Wylde, Tony and Randy's predecessor. Started playing Randy Rhoads solo verbatim at 19
    #5: Randy Rhoads, probably would have been higher, but he didn't live long enough.
    #6: Dave Mustaine, Metallicas original guitar player, but do drunk to stay in the band. Should still be there though if he wouldn't have been replaced by.....
    #7: Kirk Hammet, that's right JofZ, he saved the eighties from Hair Metal, I mean Van Halen kicks ass and everything, but if I see Sammy Hagar do a tow touch again, I'll have to end it all with a 45.
    #8: Dimbag Darell, greatest metal pioneer of our generation, still doing solos and teaching a younger generation to as well
    #9: Now McCready, a very underated alt/blues guitarist. To bad he wasn't born in the sixties or he would have been a god.
    #10: Jerry Cantrel, never mentioned, but if there wasn't Jerry, there wouldn't be any Kurt Cobain, no mcready, and no cool talk box noises to remind us of the golden age of grunge.

    Rock/Blues:

    Jimi Hendrix
    SRV
    David Gilmour
    Eric Clapton
    Duanne Allman
    John Frusciante
    Derek Trucks
    Randy Rhoads

    I love Mike, but I think these guys are better. He would be top 15 though.

    Jimi Hendrix...

    and John Martyn on The Tumbler (recorded when he was 19). Mind you, the Big Man didn't want to be known for being the best, so he abandoned virtuosity. "Less is more", singing, and songwriting became far more important to his art. Fair play to him. :)

    he only has/had one album, and then various B-sides released. Just pick up Jeff Buckley - Grace, put on some headphones, and just listen to every note of music, every lyrics, and try and feel every emotion.

    By the way, John Martyn invented The Edge:

    THIS is an innovator:

    Buru!!! Where'd you find this?

    Wow, this thread brings back memories!
    Youthinkyou'reold and I were posting from a couple of computers in Timbuktu Africa on this thread, showing some local people how the internet works. So we started posting here with ten or 15 people looking over our shoulders.
    McCreadyisgod was answering back and sent the mountain pics, and good wishes from the United States to the oohs and the aahs of the watchers!

    I'll never forget that moment, man. A bunch of people who didn't know that the internet really worked, suddenly respected people in the US.
    A gesture like that from MIG and JofZ made a difference in Mali Africa! :cool:


    Meanwhile,,,, knock me off that Robert list I had. Haha,,, I'm starting to suck on guitar!

    Put
    Buddy Guy - That guy STILL rocks, and had his guitar over his head before Hendrix ever picked one up!
    If you look at Buddy Guy play, you'll see where Jimi got his influence!

    Les Paul! - Haha,, John Martyn was precurser to the Edge, but Les Paul invented and mastered the tape delay and precursed Jimmy Page and Martyn.
    I guess we all come from somewhere and add to it.
