Steve Vai! Get that "Live at the Astoria" video. Steve brings guitar playing from another world for sure, but some of the stuff he does onstage just KILLS me! LOL! He doesn't do the cliche thing of throwing the guitar around his neck - he throws it behind him and let's it hit him in the rear, resulting in an open string bang noise! LOL! He also does a thing at the end of "For the love of God" where he's letting some notes feedback some harmonics , and he flicks his toungue on the strings to get even higher harmonic notes. I recently bought that video of him with the Holland Metropole Orchestra , and though he does none of his "band schtick" on it and he actually DOES kinda stand there - by not having to jump around, his playing is flawless on this one, and it's cool to hear his songs with a huge hip orchestra. Yngwie too - he's pretty entertaining to see - Sure he's got all the "classic" moves down (LOL!) but he's damn good at it. Janick Gers from Iron Maiden , you can tell he's ran around and been crazy onstage for years , and it looks like an unrehearsed thing for him.

SANTANA

JEFF BECK
VAN HALEN
DAVID GILMORE
1. Randy Rhodes...this dude could rip off solos and riffs, and he was the best ever in my opinion
2. Jimmy Page....this dude is probably the best ever in most people's minds, Led Zeppelin was one of the best bands ever and this guy could PLAY!!!
3. Eddie Van Halen...Eruption, need I say more"?
4. Angus Young.....he had great stage presence and was a great player also
5. Ace Frehly....KISS was an AWESOME stage band and Ace was sure one awesome player

Yngwie Malmsteen, others may be guitar gods, he is the God of Guitarists.
Ted Nugent, Gonzo is right!
Steve Vai, his hands become one with the guitar. Sinuous musicianship.
All others are average.
