Except for The Who here Keith Moon was the best :)

Probably John PetrucciRPG10080

Mark Knopfler.CrimzonTide

Mad props for that pick. Mark is the man.

I hate when people say Kirk Hammet ...Whight_Knight

Yeah, me too. I swear people say they like him just because hes the guy from Metallica. Heres the deal with Kirk...all he is is your average 40 something year old who has been playing guitar since his teen years. Oh, and he just HAPPENED to get lessons from Joe Satriani and just HAPPENED to be at the right place at the right time to join Metallica. If he didn't happen to join Metallica, nobody would know who he is. Plus, the guy that he replaced is MUCH better than him.

Mark Knofler, Matt Bellamy

They need to respect the fact that the guy that he replaced is MUCH better than him.

I agree completely.He dos'nt hold a candle to Mustaine in the slightest.And he used a lot if not all of his solo's from Kill 'Em All.
