#1 Influence

[jkdsteve]

By what I listen to and inspired me, Brian May.....by the stuff I generally like to play...the god-like Tony Iommi.

EVH, Jimmy Page, and Angus!

 

[andross182]

Some of you guys are really showing your age here!

 

[mudf00t]

Stevie Ray Vaughn & George Lynch must share that top spot

 

[cardinal]

Cantrell. Indirectly, though, it's probably Hendrix for pretty much every living guitar player.

 

[gtrplr71]

Filbert McDumple!

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

Racking my brain and I honestly don't have any one. Shenker/Rhoads/Malmsteen probably at the top for me though.

 

[John 14:6]

George Lynch.

 

[firegate]

Dave Murray

 

[Wayniac3]

If I had to pick one single biggest - Lynch hands down... but had a TON of others that were nearly as influential.

 

[phil b]

Ace Hendrix

 

[ZL1Hawk]

Alex Skolnick.

 

[Racerxrated]

Randy Rhoads, George Lynch and Ty Tabor.

 

[Mailman1971]

[RockyStar]

Iommi

Was introduced to VH1 by my best friends older brother back in 78' when the first album was released. Been in awe ever since

Ace Frehley for me, too. The biggest thing that could have happened when I was a kid would have been if Evel Kneivel would have jumped over the stage at a Kiss concert. The world would have blown up.

#1 to me... Randy Rhoads
