I remember seeing him open for Black Label, you could feel the crowds energy change from cold, uninterested, to electric after the first song, after his set he went to his little merch table, and he was so stoked when I bought a CD, shook my hand and thanked me, just such a genuine positive guy.

To me, he embodies that classic Ted Nugent vibe that I always loved. Raw, energetic, dynamic, and his guitar is his mouthpiece. He's having fun every time he plays, and doesn't matter if he's playing a sold out venue or just for Ola, he puts on a show. Inspiring bro.

Great showman, great songwriter, he just want to hang out with his fans after the show and have fun, Legends ! Thats for sure a fantastic ambassador for Gibson, what an inspiration !

Jared is such a nice dude. I went to his show in Glasgow on this particular tour. While waiting outside for the doors to open, Jared came outside to go to a local guitar store for a thing before the gig, and I've never been one to bother people when I spot them. But the moment Jared clocked me and my nephew standing outside, he instantly smiled and introduced himself. We then chatted for about 5mins while he waited for a taxi. After the gig, which was f'n excellent btw, I saw Jared again at the merch stand and had another brief exchange.

Sheesh Sykes should be at the top of that list. Lizzy Hale? huh? gimme a break. John Sykes is criminally underrated. He's an absolute beast of a player. He peaked at a time when people were distracted. the 83 Whitesnake album was a piece of rock music history. If he didn't have a feud with Coverdale, he would have gotten the recognition he deserved. Not Vai, Campbell or Vanderberg... all great players.. .but John Sykes is the man.
