Not as bad as when Axel wouldn't let Buckethead join Guns & Roses when he refused to play without his bucket! ?

Sorry, I guess I went postal... ?

Needed to move this thread back to page one anyway. This appeared in my YouBoob feed and I was compelled to click on it! Interesting!

Prince - Purple Rain

This just came to my mind: Blue is a high vibrational color and one of my favorites. It makes me happy. Never understood why it got identified as depressing...

I'm going to add Tom Scholtz (Boston fame) and Steve Bartek (from Strawberry Alarm Clock and Oingo Boingo - I used to be a forum member). Others I appreciated for their abilities that included how well they made their playing fit into the songs they were playing were Lindsey Buckingham and Neal Schon. I'm sure others will come to mind later.

*Pfft!* C'mon! I mean the guy barely knew his way around the guitar! ?

Yeah, Craig G. lived a couple of blocks away from me in San Diego. Well, at least when he could! He had a tough childhood and either slept in his car or in the music store he gave lessons at (where I first met him). Not sure how Ronnie learned about him, but he saw that he needed some help. I bought my first real guitar from him.

Maybe I'm biased but, in the 80's, I got to hang out with Eddie Van Halen and got to play with Craig Goldy (who was in Rough Cut like Jake E. Lee and was Ronnie James Dio's godson), so... ?

John 6 is even better! ?

She's another that, in Wings, was singing into a muted mic. ?

Will we get to slap anyone? ? ?

Just imagine what that band could have done with a top-250 guitarist!!! ?

I just compiled the list into one text file for searching. Gee, has anyone else noticed that there's actually 263 guitarists listed in the top 250? ? Yep. No Walter Trout (voted in the top-5 from a huge Europe survey) and no Guthrie Govan either who could easily be another top-5'er. Should Alex Lifeson really be on there? I don't think he did many original pieces, did he? ? I take it they aren't friends of the Blues since, besides Walter, Joe Bonamassa and Gary Moore are also conspicuously missing. Craig Goldy and Jake E. Lee? Nope. Michel St-Père from the Mystery is also a no-show as is Glen Campbell, John Petrucci and Christopher Cross. . . . However, both Neil Young and Joan Jett somehow made the list! (What, no Ace Frehley??? ?) Let's just say that this list is pure troll-bait and leave it at that. I'd much rather listen to Lord Tim and Kenny than most of those listed.

O no!!!

Just not into Grammy's... I like 'em younger! ? (But, good luck to you just the same! ??)
