All about opinions and moods....

[hammerstone]

Have to go for Clapton but Zak wylde, Randy Rhodes and Michael Schenker are up there for their playing styles

Blackmore for me, a guitarist who knows the difference between speed and feel. Gary Moore, Michael Schenker, Rory Gallahger and Stevie Ray Vaughan are up there too.

Jonny Greenwood

Surprised nobody's mentioned Jimmy Page. Randy Rhoads, Gary Moore and SRV are all up there as well (both literally and figuratively).

Any Schenker fans will be interested to know he's touring in Europe and playing Shepherds Bush on 2nd November

Good shout, HS. I really like MSG and it was one of the first bands I saw in the 1980s. Michael Schenker has struggled in recent years with appearing on stage drunk and dropping lots of notes in recent years has he not? He was always famed for hardly ever dropping a note.

EDIT: I just looked it up but tickets are £40. I guess listening to CDs will remain my only Schenker option

Eddie Phillips for me.

I saw Schenker Jan 2016 opening for Judas Priest and thought he was class, didn't really notice him screwing up etc. Actually seeing UFO at ramblin man on Sunday which will be interesting!

Oh Schenker is a brilliant guitarist. I have seen things on You Tube where he has been awful. He was the support act when I went to see the Scorpions in 2007 but I missed him because I got there late. Pah!

Would have said Clapton when I was younger, but recently watched a load of Hendrix videos and realised just how good he was - and just what we lost. 27, for Christ's sake - what sort of an age is that to die?

I'm there too. Haven't seen UFO since the late 70s so really looking forward to it. Also quite looking forward to Martin Turner and Focus on the Prog Stage

I'll be there with a denim sleeveless patch jacket with large Michael Schenker temple of rock back patch, say hi!
