  3. Hendrix

  4. Frank Zappa

  5. Ross "The Boss" Friedman (Dictators, Manowar)

  I wanted to include Hendrix, and there's no doubt that the man was great, and if I had included it to a 7th, he would have been the man to take that spot.
  
  Also quite a fan of Buck, and I love Don't Fear The Reaper and Burnin' For You.

  Never heard Ease BB, will have to look into it.

  I know it's the longest solo, but I quite like the little parts in Rockin' In The Free World.

  
  The Ocean. Might have to look into that one too by LZ.

  I'm liking your taste in music there BillBlogs.

   

  Though I have to add Devin Townsend, Buckethead, James Hetfield, and Tommy Emmanuel!

  I saw Blue Oyster Cult live in Germany 1993. They were INCREDIBLE. Buck was ripping leads completely nonchalently, just blistering. Those two songs are the biggest hits they ever had - GREAT songs.

   

  Just for good measure:

   

  6. Pete Townshed (The Who)

  7. Brian May (Queen)

  8. Johnny Ramone (Ramones)

  9. Ed Kuepper (The Saints)

  10. Jimmy Page (can't leave him out)

    Lucky!
    One of the many bands that I would have loved to have seen live.
    It's why I wish that one day, someone can invent a time-machine, so I can go back and watch all the great bands from the 60's, 70's & 80's, especially all the bands that have been mentioned here.

     

    Big fan of Queen myself too.
    Freddie Mercury was a genius. Shame he died so young though.
    May was a great guitarist though.
    Gotta say Brighton Rock and Killer Queen are my favourites, barring the all-time greatest hit for them, Bohemian Rhapsody.

     

    Funnily enough, changing tact, it was actually Guitar Hero, the latest one, that introduced me to Burnin' For You from BOC.

        Wow, shows how much attention I pay to bands coming out, haha.
        I am so there!
        I'm actually going to the Santana concert in March. That should be incredible!
        
        Thanks for the heads-up though :)
        I'll be sure to get tickets if I can.
