    Beck, Page, SRV, Steve Vai, Stanley Gordon, Al Dimeola, all are better EVH. Vai probably the best.
    Bass players: Les Claypool, Getty Lee, Flea, Steve Harris, Cliff Burton

    And don't bother arguing my list, I respect the opinion of REAL musicians, ones who've made a living doing this and even played with a few of rhe greats listed above.
    ,

    um ok, so I am a real musician and there is not way any of those guys are better than EVH, ESPECIALLY Vai, Gordon and Dimeola...all good players, but nto better. Good bye

    On your bass list, you forgot Billy Sheehan, but the list is up there...also it is Geddy Lee...I respect guy who know how to spell the names of their heroes.

    My phone must have corrected it. And I agree with Billy from Maiden love that guy. As far as your arguement about being a real musician not one guitarist I know would put Eddie at #1, top 10 sure, not #1.

    I know someone who played with EVH and Zakk Wylde, I value his opinion a bit more.

    Well Billy Sheehen was never in Maiden, that would be Steve Harris, another very good player and excellent writer. YOu must know some jealous players, because EVH is the king and you ask any player from 78 utnil now and they will almost always tell u that.g,

    Listen to their new album, I promise you will be blown away.

    I was thinking of Harris, Billy was in that David Lee Roth band right?

    I'll save my money thanks. =)

    WHo pays for music anymore? Oh u must use Apple products.

    Saw Van Halen a few months ago and Eddie is still amazing.

    Here's a few others I'll throw out that haven't been mentioned

    Johnny Hiland - if you haven't heard him, go listen and find various genres cause he can play anything
    Brent Mason - played on more #1 hits than anyone in history I believe, insanely good
    Steve Stevens - great player and check out his solo stuff as well as with Billy Idol
    John Jorgenson - Elton John, Hellecasters plus his solo gypsy jazz stuff
    Joe Satriani - unbelievable player
    Allan Holdsworth
    Chet Atkins
    Buddy Guy
    Carlos Santana
    Frank Zappa
    Adrian Belew

    As for SRV being overrated, I saw him live 6 times and while they were all good the first time was unbelievable, I know he battled some demons that likely affected his playing

    Van Halen is top 10. Not the best. And Jimi was an innovator, but never really reached full potential, and I don't believe he should be in the top 5, barely in the top 10.

    WHo pays for music anymore? Oh u must use Apple products.

    Oh, maybe us 'buyers' just like our favourite muso's to keep playing and to have the incentive to tour more often. I like my music live and no sales would equal no tours.

    Bands get most of the revenue from tours. So that's not entirely accurate. Exactly why bands are starting to release albums online for free, and still be profitable.

    I'd say that Hendrix ranks as #1.

    Plenty around for #2, I'll throw Eric Johnson in to the mix.
