Eh? There is no comparison. Vai makes Bettencourt look like a beginner

Now this is going to be a close one. I like both Soundgarden and Alice In Chains. But if I was going to say one of them, I would say Jerry Cantrell.

Edit: After I voted, I see that Cantrell is winning by a mile.

Tough one. Both are pioneers and great performers. I like Mountain, but think Sabbath is more popular. So I am going with Iomi.

Edit: After I voted, I saw that others felt the same way.

I was thinking the same thing, Jeff.

This is an easy one - George Harrison.

Edit: And George Harrison is winning.

I'm not much of a slipknot fan, so I chose Dimebag.

oops, I missed yesterdays, but I still have to say something. I really don't like Neil Young, I think he sounds like a drunken squirrel singing karaoke, but I will admit he's a pretty good guitar player and good enough song writer to stand with Crosby, Stills, and Nash all of whom I respect greatly. I absolutely love the beatles, always have but honestly, I think Harrison is about average for the music they were doing. Not amazing, but got the job done.

As far as todays, Dimebag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No contest?

wait, I just realized I'm a whole day off here...crap, sorry
