Nobody mentioned Yngwie Malmsteen.

Malmsteen is badass. Arpeggios from hell!

Yep! It was real big in the '80s and early'90s.

Rick James Bitch!

He really was a talented musician. And before everyone got all excited about Thriller ( PUKE!) or Purple Rain Rick James was THE badass outlaw R&B guy.

Geezer Butler
Peter Steele
Les Claypool
Cliff Burton
Bob Daisly

What? No love for the bass players?

I totally forgot about Geezer Butler. Man the intro to Nativity in Black is amazing. Not to mention the intro and all of Ferries Wear Boots.
Let me also give an honorable mention to Sting. It's like he has 7 fingers on one hand. Spirits in the Material World is one of my fee fave Police tunes. But then again Sting can play every damn thing . Kinda like Prince.

Hey let's not forget about Billy Gibbons. Somebody post up the video for
Precious and Grace or Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings. I can't figure it out on this damn tablet.

I’ve seen Brad paisley come up twice. I think he’d be better on the “ Top 5 Performers You Didn’t Know Was Such A Good Guitar Player” list…. Right under Prince.

Saw them in the Omni in 85. Forget about the Eliminator album they were touring. THIS is real
ZZ Top.
On top of that you gotta respect a 3 man band that can pull it off. That is a tight cohesive unit.

I can't give this enough likes. RIP Dusty ...
