Gorgeous Rob:) Love u:)i didn't make this list. rolling stone did. you freaking morons.hi here is my email if u care for my photos. ester.love30@yahoo.comYou forgot about Duane Eddy . He influenced a whole generation and put the guitar where it is today . Before Duane , the guitar was just a backing instrument for accompaniment . Too many guitarists were content to sound and play like Chet Atkins. Today's rock guitarists are the embodiment of Eddy's forthright style and "hard" guitar sound .fuck dimebag is not here......thats so dimebad...!!! fuck this list....n fuck this magazine......list is alright......but Sir.dimebag darrel belongs to this list.....!!!Let's face it, Jimi is high up there, but i haven't seen slash anywhere among the top 5. that dude can make that thing scream -i dont know if he also makes the girls scream like that..lol Jimmy page too is awesome!!!Wow - I love Taylor's new single "What's Right is Right." Now that is "new music" that IS (music)! It stick's in your head and it is a good feeling. I am looking forward to his new album "The Distance" - in March!
