Remember Clapton also had a go at the stupid stuff, and was, frankly lucky he didn't go out in a similar way to Hendrix. They both make outstanding music. You can pick one over the other if you must, I will enjoy both. And more.

Started with Jimmy Page, moved to Hendrix and Peter Green, then on to Ritchie Blackmore.........Clapton was always over rated. Knopfler can be lazily fluid when he wants too...
Meh - to many great guitarists of diverse styles out there.......

if this is moving on to best....there i have an issue as it is like being a judge at the synchronised swimming contest...no clear way to judge the winner..
Roy Buchanon, David Gilmore, Jimmy Page, Gary Moore, SRV, ......if i was forced to make a decision.......David Gilmore....
top three fav guitar songs
You're not alone - You're not alone - Roy Buchanon
Comfotably Numb - Pulse version - David Gilmore
Europa - Moonflower - Santana

I had always thought he died after Clapton gave him his seat on a helicopter that subsequently crashed into a mountain.Originally Posted by Big Dave

Clapton with no other reason than Jimi hasn't done much new for ages. Jimi's performances of late are best described as a little wooden.
On a more serious note my 2 cents are it has to be Jimi.
because he was a total original were still talking about him now and look how short his career was. epic

Page is briliant,, I didnt place him with Howe, for one reason, page just hasnt made it 'Solo' for some reason.... Steve Howe also does a lot of production work, but has done Solo albums.. and gone on from YES with Asia. Page hasnt really made a success beyond Led Zep, the Firm etc were supergroups that somehow just 'didnt' ....

I think the reason is simple. Zep just casts too big a shadow and any vocalist that Jimmy teams up with is going to struggle with the Plant comparison.
The thing that really astounds me, is that within a 10 mile radius, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton were born between Jan 1944 and March 1945. Extend that circle by a couple of miles and wait another two months and you've got Pete Townshend as well...

Motorhead are in my top five favourite bands of all time. I am quite familiar with those tracks.
You could have put in OVERKILL also.
Interesting that no one has mentioned Yngwie Malmsteen, Satriani or those guys. None of it does it for me: as one of my friends (a bass player - cue jokes) says "its all pointless fret-wank".
One of my favourite git-box threesomes is the Isbell-Hood-Cooley era of Drive By Truckers. Here's an example (and the first DBT song I ever heard)

also, this thread needs more banjo (hey, if Lemmy is in then banjo is in): Cue up some Flatt & Scruggs.

It's a little known fact that just near the end of WWII the allies smuggled super mutated genetic material into Britain from nazi laboratory experiments. Further experiments were carried out in secret, in a "stores depot" at Deepcut Barracks in Surrey. Clapton's father was a soldier who left England before his son was born.
You know this is true, because you read it on the internet.

Heh. I've got a very good (Rickenbacker) bass-playing friend who used to use exactly the same terminology.
Apart from Jimmy Page, none of my favourite guitarists could really be tagged as "guitar heroes"...well, maybe Billy Gibbons but otherwise, Kim Thayil, Robbie Krieger, George Harrison...

I'd add Keef to that list. Its all about the groove.....
