Dimebag ran into Eddie Van Halen a few months before he was murdered. He asked Eddie for a copy of the bumblebee painted Frankenstrat. At Dimebag’s funeral Eddie showed up with his ORIGINAL bumblebee and had it placed in the coffin, “He was an original, and he DESERVED the original.” What an honor.😢

@@user-ek4ep4cj7i In fact, here are all my honorable mentions for who should've been on the list. John Petrucci: (Dream Theater) He's not the most important member of Dream Theater, (The entire band is important to their sound) but his guitar work has helped make the band what it is in the world of progressive metal. Steve Vai This guy's guitar work is a masterclass, plain and simple. Joe Santriani Same; This guy doesn't need to sing at all; his incredible melodic guitar skills do all the singing, and that should be enough for anyone. K.K Downing, Ritchie Faulkner and Glenn Tipton (Judas Priest) While Downing is no longer in the band, having left in the 2010's, He and Tipton practically wrote the book on how to write and perform awesome dual guitar solos, not to mention the equally awesome book on guitar solo trade offs, which they kept on doing effortlessly after Faulkner replaced Downing. And while Tipton can no longer tour with them, due to the early stages of Parkinson's disease, he still records for their new material and has never lost a single step in his playing style. (Their current producer, Andy Sneap, tours with the band in Tipton's place) Andre Olbrich (Blind Guardian) This guy is a criminally underrated player and his melody driven style of playing is the driving force behind the band's prominent melodic focus in their sound, and his solos are some of the best in Symphonic/Power Metal Kirk Hammitt (Metallica) This guy has been kicking ass in Metallica for practically as long as the band has been active; His style of shredding makes him influential to this day, and his extended solos during Metallica shows make each show as badass as the next one. Synester Gates (Avenged Sevenfold) This guy is a guitarist to be reckoned with on stage, and his soloing style of playing is practically iconic to the band's sound, which only elevates the actual solos when they come in on the songs.

No John Petrucci this list is a joke. Jeff Beck at 21 should be in the top 10

John Petrucci isn't particularly influential, nor is he particularly innovative. Not a surprise. Jeff Beck should definitely be higher though.

This list is not very good. It focuses too much on older anglo rock artists. No mention of Paco de Lucia, Raimundo Amador or Tomatito. Also no mention of classical music guitarists. Not a genre I’m familiar with but the little that I’ve heard has impressed me. They should really do some research and the redo the list.

Duane Allman introduced the world to electric slide (md has never been bettered), created southern rock, and could outjam basically everyone in this list, but you have a bunch of guys who only can play power chords because their bands sold more albums.

I disagree with the placement of Jeff Beck. I feel he should have been much higher on the list. My brother wasn't enough of a household name to be on your list. Had he been I feel he may have been on the list; Pat Thrall - Pat Travers Band and Meatloaf, are just a couple of bands he lent his brilliant chops & writing skills to. Not to mention Automatic Man and Hughs/Thrall with Glenn Hughs which were his projects. Slash unknowingly gave my bro credit for teaching him the basics of rock guitar (Pat had contributed to a booklet & accompanied little record the was included, and Gary Moore (who should have been on your list) said this: Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Pat_Thrall ...
