Looks like the pentatonic wars with exception of RR and EVH.

I've always felt like his image and untimely death took him a lot further than his actual guitar playing did. The thing he's most famous for isn't even playing guitar, its lighting one on fire and smashing it, which Pete Townshend did the set before, well without the fire [/quote
Hendrix is overated ? your a fuckin moron.
Nice try at belittling my opinion, but before anyone can take you seriously you need to learn how to properly quote someone. Then, after that, you should probably learn how to spell. Those 2 things alone would go a long way toward making you look like less of a jackass

Gotta disagree pretty strongly here.carlygtr":2ypvizre said:Yeah, EVH. Only Hendrix had him beat over a decade earlier. Still talking about him. VH in 40 years? A footnote, if that. Nothing lasting.
Well let's see...Van Halen 1 was when..'78? so it's been 35 years..pretty sure we'll still be talkin about him in another 5..just sayin..carlygtr":20db5obu said:Yeah, EVH. Only Hendrix had him beat over a decade earlier. Still talking about him. VH in 40 years? A footnote, if that. Nothing lasting.

Chevy Chase.."They said there would be no math..."

Not a "rock" player by todays standards, but he influenced a shitload of rock guitar players.
In the 80's in High School anyone that played guitar that I knew wanted to play like Eddie, then Randy, then Jimmy Page, Iommi. Then Yngwie came out, then Metallica. Chet Atkins? NO.
