| ...We salute you.
This is a place to talk about a time when rock was a lifestyle. Talk about your favourite classic rock bands. Compare opinions on guitarists... or just tell about songs that you think are the best.
No matter what... this is all about Classic Rock | |

| lol True.. and I forgot Kirk Hammet... but I was talking about the ones that even if you hate Classic Rock you know their names... okay.. so most people don't know who Angus Young is but you get my point. XD | |

| Hammet's an excellent metal guitarist. What I like about him is that he plays cliche blues licks over metal stuff | |

Too many people have been influenced by them all I know.. it is tough... I find I've been influenced by them all. Page especially... his solos kill. XD But I voted for Hendrix because he's always been called #1 and most people mention him on their "influenced by" stuff. | |

| Hendrix hands down! I'm actually far more of a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn, and the likes of Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Marty Friedman, etc.
But as far as influence to music goes i don't think anyone has or will come close to Hendrix - Absolute genius! | |

| You just mentioned other great guitarists. lol But I agree. There are so many great guitarists but only one is known by everyone.. even people who don't like rock.  Hendrix | |

| I know this isn't exactly classic rock, but it is quite funny - it's Marty Friedman and Paul Gilbert on a Japanese tv program https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W744PD_1NSc | |
