So, uh, where's he carrying the $50?
Leading off with "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" from what I think was their best album... "Wish You Were Here"...
Camp Randall, Madison WI 94.
It rained and it just made the lasers over the top.
Would repeat.
More examples of toxic masculinity on display.
Man, I forgot how awesome Neil Peart was every time he picked up those sticks. He put in 100% every time he played … RIP
All three were great in their own regard, but Neil was something very, very special.
Everyone's taste is different, and there are a lot of great guitarists that have not been mentioned. It's not a contest; just enjoy the music.
I still think Phil Keaggy’s one of the best acoustic guitarists out there… But love his work with a looper.
Not bad for a dude with only 9 fingers! LoL

Eric Clapton said Prince was the greatest guitarist of all time
FIFY.
Clapton mumbled a lot. Also possibly invented the term dog-faced pony soldier.
Sirhr
When people ask who was the best drummer of all time , I will always say Neil Peart.
And who else can play keyboard with his feat, bass, and sing at the same time? Geddy is an amazing musician as well.
Alex may be great but when he’s in the same power trio as those guys he just seems average.
I'll take Billy Cobham any day.. (solo starts at about 1:42)
And he's wearing a tie!

Prince is another that I never think of, not a fan of his music. But yes, a helluva guitar player.
And then, there's BB King.
Put this on a loop and I can listen for hours
i watched that live when it initially aired. i thought it was one of the most amazing guitar performances i had ever seen. my roommate in college and i both played guitar and small gigs and that was really before there was a ton of stuff on the internet. seeing that was like seeing the Holy Grail.... we both stood up and hollered it was so awesome.
Legend has it Prince was not happy about that clip, as its one of him playing that he had no control over the licensing and sharing of. took about 10-12 years until it was easily found on the internet. when i found it again, it was like finding a long lost artifact. incredible.
its also fun to watch Harrison's son fanboy out onstage just watching. who wouldnt?
If you can play guitar.....try and wrassle this one into a corner.
Not a single bad note, funny how I always manage to sneak a few misses in

Gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denmark — a world first!
Denmark will tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country in the world to do so as it targets a major source of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.

All of you guitar arguers should check out this playlist. 110 interviews so far. On it you will find somebody cool you know and many others that you don't. To name a few, Brian may, Steve Vai, Steve lukather, Eric Johnson, Tommy Emanuel, Yngwie Malmsteen, pat metheny, Andy summers, George Benson, Marty Friedman, Bjorn ulvaeus, and many others.
… and accuse farmers of greed when meat prices increase.
Not that these are better than any of the previously mentioned guitarists. But to add a couple:
Buddy Guy, Yngwie Malmsteen, Doug Aldrich(Dio, Whitesnake), Wolf Hoffman (Accept, solo work), George Lynch, Trond Holter (Jorn), Rik Emmett (Triumph), Ritchie Blackmore, Reb Beach, Rick Medlocke, Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson solo), Craig Goldy (Dio), Gary Hoey, too many to mention.
And I do not think I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn mentioned, may have been though.
Here is a video from Gary Hoey if you may have never heard of him. He is definitely worth checking out.
