Joe Walsh
to name but a few...

Absolutely with you for Joe Walsh. I like Rush, but never rated Lifeson that much. Vernon Reid is on one of Santana's albums. He plays fast on it. Is speed a thing for Vernon Reid? Never heard of the other guys.

I think Jeff Beck is a celebrated axe wielder, he just hasn't 'made it' in a commercial sense like his contemporaries. "There and Back" is one of my favorite albums.

I got Odelay and Midnite Vultures. He's a viber for sure. Seems to do what he wants.

"Jeff Beck"

Underrated? I've never seen a top ten list without Jeff Becks name on it.

Steve Lukather from TOTO is underrated. He rarely gets mentioned and he's done some incredible stuff.

Amen, Bruthuh. Everyone thinks that he was in TOTO and it was pop music, but get him solo and he SMOKES. If anyone wants an incredible guitar CD, pick up 'No Subscriptions-Live in Osaka'. It's him and Larry Carlton (another incredible guitar player that hardly gets mentioned) and they just kick a**. There is a 13 minute version of Jeff Beck's 'The Pump' that is mind-boggling.  It's a little late now, but another super cool album by Lukather is his 'Santamental' Christmas album with other greats like Slash and Eddie VH. Great choice Tkitna.

Thanks for the mention of the two CD's JR. I'll definately try them out.

(I see you beat me to the Jeff Beck rebutle also.)

Ha! No one plays like him. I don't ever think I've ever seen anything but mucho kudos for the guy.

Quoted from Mairi

Nobody ever mentions Lita Ford.

Here stuff with Lemmy and Ozzy is good. And she did that video where she was all licking a block of ice...

I have a feeling that's not quite what you meant...

Lita Ford isn't a 'great' guitar player unless Mairi wanted to include her as a female entry so it wasn't a fraternity of male players. If that's the case, Nancy Wilson from Heart should be on the list, she's a fine musician, and my baby, Shawn Colvin plays with tunings that are so out there, its like she's mastered a dozen instruments on one guitar.

I know a lot of people who don't know this guy, unless they've seen the last waltz...and yes...there are some people out there who have not seen the last waltz:

Robbie Robertson

but i dunno if he fits cause he is popular, but not like according to all the lists and stuff...anyways

That's not Jeff Beck, Apps.

lol...woops...Lazy browsin i was....Sending you a pm shortly. ;o)

Stephen Stills doesn't get near the credit he deserves.  I heard "Bluebird" the other day and he's amazing.  He's also got a great interplay with Neil Young on so many songs.  

What about Pete Townshend, The Edge, Brian May, and David Gilmour? And does anyone even remember Stevie Ray Vaughan? I don't here his name much anymore.

Quoted from Maccalvr

She's some hair metal chick from the 80's. I hate her. That duet she did with Ozzy was his lowest moment. Made me wanna puke.

LOL, I was just listening to that song today! But Joan Jett is better. Yeah.
