Ye left us too soon...
 

I'm going to see Ozzy for the first time tonight and I'm SO stoked! I got to thinking while driving to work today, "What was it like to see Randy Rhoads play?"

So, I figured I'd poll the group regarding guitar players who were taken from us too soon.

Who's the greatest of the deceased axe-slingers who met an untimely demise?

i voted kurt..although i wasnt a big fan of nirvana some of his stuff was good and hes the only one im familiar with on that list.

You're kidding, right? How old are you, dude?

I'd have to say Steive Ray Vaughn. allways had a soft spot for Blues based rock.

One that you forgot was Duane Allman (Allaman Brothers, Derek and the Dominos.)

uhhh...15 biggrin:. I have heard of the bands ozzy and def leapod but i never got into them so never knew of the band members names (excpet for ozzys).

def leppard*.

Yeah, there were a lot of names I coulda put up there (Buddy Holly, Glen Buxton from Alice Cooper)..hence the Other option.

15 huh? Hrm, I thought everyone had heard of Jimi Hendrix. Ah well...no biggie, I s'pose.

id add Frank Zappa to that list

Vote "Other" for Zappa.

Again, I couldn't add every dead guitar player to the list.

9! Zap oOo: pa deserved his pwn mention....

SRV, I'm a blues man. Plus his cover of Voodoo Child fucking rawks.

I voted Jimi Hendrix but would just as well have picked Stevie Ray Vaughn, but I cannot vote twice cry:

Howz about Mr. Chuck Bearry,sp?. I would say him.

Gotta go with Jimmy.

Chuck Berry's not dead yet. Is he?

Plus, this is for guitar players who were killed in their prime...not for old bastards who have been around for 50 years.
