I like your list, but would shift the order, maybe add a few...
1. Jimmy Hendrix
2. Steve Vai
3. Eddie Van Halen
4. Stevie Ray Vaughn
5. John Frusciante
Considering 1 and 4 are dead - 2 is playing weird bullshit now, and 3 is brain dead...in my opinion, there aren't many good guitarists out there these days....or I should say "groundbreaking" guitarists out there. If there are any - they're not getting any play.
Just a candyman's opinion.
Just because the title "moderator" is under my name doesn't mean I have to be nice to cunts like you. - DLR7884 to FPC
Vanzilla's New "Can't Get This Stuff No More" Video Coming Soon!
Of all that has been mentioned Steve Vai has the largest musical vocabulary. Does he play blues as well as Stevie Ray? no, but Stevie Ray could never play Vai's stuff. It really comes down to personal preference at the end of the day.
I can see James Hetfield as being influential, but the best? I don't think so. The only memorable solo he has is the unforgivin solo, which isn't that technical. He is one hell of a rhythm guitarist, but still, the best? I know malmsteen could make him look like shit if you got both of them on stage, and told them to play as fast as possible. I think Hetfield should be on a top 10 influential guitarist list, but not anywhere near the top ten best guitarists. His chops dont cut it.
since the dross that is van hagar , eddie's star has waned cuntsiderably , look at that poll last year where he came in at no. 74 of the top 100 guitarists
disgraceful
another thing you can lay at hagar's synth ridden lovey dovey drivel door , the destruction of evh as a rock god
