Wow, you have a great list!!
Mine, in no particular order would have to be:
1. Dimebag Darrell Abbott--just the name says it all. He is so missed by the metal world : (
2. Randy Rhoads--OMG, had he lived, there's no telling what he'd be up to...what an amazing artist!
3. Eddie Van Halen--Ok, I know that his attitude stinks at times, but you gotta give respect where respect is due...this man is truly awesome in his talent. And you gotta give him props for giving Vinnie Abbott a guitar to put in Dime's casket. How generous!!
4. Steve Vai--this man is one of my favorites. His career has flown to such wonderful heights....besides, he was sexy as heck in the Whitesnake "Fool For Your Lovin'" video
5. Zakk Wylde--yet another Ozzy protege..I think that we are just beginning to appreciate this man. He's got the masses "Bleedin' Black Label", that's for sure.
Great question : )
Happy Holidays!!
