I would just like to say thanks for actually putting Rory Gallagher on the list. Personally he would be near the very top of my list. But thats my bias.
I am just glad someone appreciate some of his talent.

I disagree with your first ten, here's how it should be

1. Jimi Hendrix (Jimi Hendrix Experience, Band of Gypsys)
2. Jimmy Page(Led Zeppelin, Yardbirds)
3. Eric Clapton(Cream, Yardbirds, Solo)
4. Jeff Beck ( The Yardbirds, The Jeff Beck Group, session work, solo)
5. Angus Young(ACDC)
6. Tony Iommi(Black Sabbath)
7. Pete Townshend (The Who, solo)
8. Saul Hudson(Guns N' Roses, Velvot Revolver)
9. Ritchie Blackmore (Deep Purple, Rainbow, Blackmores Night)
10. Yngwie J. Malmsteen(Rising Force)

Huh?

If that was a 'huh' for him being there shame on you. If that was a 'huh' for who that is, I shall tell you. it's Slash's real name

It was a huh? because I thought you were on about that rhythm guitarist for VR that wore the beanie.

PS. You don't get points for using his real name.

Most of the guitarists on their list or in this thread full stop go by names that differ from their birthnames or adopt stagenames.

No, I just like to use his real name

"No, I just like to use his real name so that I can appear to be a bigger fan, and then when people don't know who Saul Hudson is I can correct them pretentiously and arrogantly and act as if they're stupid for not knowing it."


Get over it.

Not really, I don't like to piss people off intentionally. That would be pointless

You don't like to think of what you're doing in those terms, but you're still lording a piece of useless knowledge over other people.
