    Your favourite guitarist

    I know this is a DLR/Van Halen related site and I really like EVH and some of Dave`s guitarists, but they ain`t my favourites.

    I know some people in here will go apeshit, but I bet there are a few others who have different idols or influences.

    For my top guitar player ever, I would have to pick Steve Howe of Yes/Asia fame.

    I can pick up tab and just about play anything that most of the shredders can play but when you see some of the shit that Howe does, it makes your mind boggle.

    Sometimes it seems that he goes out of his way to play something different to the cliched guitar parts in rock music and when you hear him play you can tell who it is.

    That`s the sign of a true artist.

    Who will you pick?

    Well my favorite guitarist is still EVH, but Jimmy Page is a close 2nd.

        Billy Gibbons!

        Excellent and very under-rated.

            Stevie Ray
            Jimi
            Angus
            Eddie

            Not necessarily in that order.

            "No problem, Dave, no problem. Say hello to Fluffy."
            "Fuck you, Fluffy."
            "No, no, you're going to upset Fluffy."
            "I ain't saying hello to no stuffed bear."
            "You know, now that I think about it, it's going to take a little longer to sew up that shirt than I was thinking."
            "Hi Fluffy, how you been?"
            "Now that I'm thinking of it even more, it's going to take half the time, Double D, Diamond Dave! Would you hold Fluffy?"
            "N--- yeah."

              I'd have to say EVH, Prince, Stevie Ray Vaughn.
              If I want any shit out of you, I'll squeeze your head.

                  Maybe this is what a heroine addict feels like after getting a long awaited fix, shooting up in the corner of some abandoned building and just not giving a fuck about what the rest of the world thinks...TATTOO"

                              Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
