"Not of This Earth, Joe Satriani's 1986 debut..."

Your point? I never said they didn't have great guitarists.

Uh, you said "they'll lose big time if it comes to naming great guitarists." how is it 'losing' if you were to name Malmsteen, Vai and Satriani? Three guitarists which you kind of defended.

I could name at least 5 better guitarists from the 70's than those three. At least.

Vai, but someone mentioned Justin King. He takes the cake

He meant that the 80s had a huge amount of talentless wankers who thought they could shred like Vai and Malmsteen but couldn't.

Like CC Deville.

This is ProggyMan, he thinks Petrucci is the greatest guitarist ever. I'm sure you guys have very different definitions of talentless wankers.

I hate Dream Theater as much as the next person. But I wouldn't call Petrucci talentless by any stretch of the imagination. He's certainly a wanker though.

Satriani, I think is the best out of that list but Vai is pretty good though, but I don't really look at a guitar player if hes better then everyone else ust if hes good enough for me to like his work.
