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?

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.)

[w0lfw00d]

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).

[w0lfw00d]

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.

[wintersforge]

id add Frank Zappa to that list

[Zoner]

Vote "Other" for Zappa.

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

[wintersforge]

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

[Innoxx]

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:

[Duke_of_Ray]

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

[ninty]

Gotta go with Jimmy.

[Zoner]

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.
