      hahahahaha, from ME, as a player CC gets NO respect...though i DID make a conscious decision in 1990, after leaving my thrash band. i decided that i'd rather be a songwriter than a shred guitar player. i justified it by asking myself this question:

      "when i play live would i rather have chicks, tits and fire - like cc deville, or play to crowds of musicians - like the shred guitarists?"

      i chose chicks, tits and fire.

      eventually my band just morphed into later period fates warning....now i am just a rock guitarist in a female fronted rock band....

      never thought THAT would happen.
      GEAR:

      some guitars...WITH STRINGS!!!! most of them have those sticks like on guitar hero....AWESOME!!!!

      some amps...they have some glowing bottle like things in them...i think my amps do that modelling thing....COOL, huh?!?!?!

      and finally....

      i have those little plastic "chips" used to hit the strings...WHOA!!!!

          BIbz wassup!! I didn't get the new Darkane yet. I'm broke.

          Dime had more influence on me than I realize but I sound like fuggin' Glen Drover more than anyone else. NOT a concscience effort on my part..completely a fluke.

          Did you know that his bro Shawn Drover writes most of the riffs since the beginning of Eidilon. I was looking at the music credits/lyric credits..it's ALL Shawn Drover... WEird.

                That list I posted above is an old list of "underrated" players..IMO.

                The MAIN players that put the guitar in my hands at 13 years old in '78 were.

                Jimi
                Iommi
                Frank Marino
                Eddie, = the end all, be all of awesomeness in my youth.
                ----------------

                Then all the Mike Varney finds of the 80's and ALL metal shredders until the late 90's.

                ----------------------------------------

                My two guys for over a decade is Jeff Loomis (Best "metal" guitarist to date) and Uli Roth (Best overall guitarist to date)...IMO!

                    I'll keep it to 5:

                    Jake E Lee
                    Gary Moore
                    Brian May
                    EVH
                    George Lynch

                    Interesting that I saw someone mention Mick Sweda - he's often overlooked as is Steve Shelski - both damn good players.

                      Mick Sweda and David Michael Phillips were awesome on the King Kobra "Ready To Strike" record.
