| I saw Gary Moore last night. He's one of those guitarists that leaves you feeling inadequate. |

He does nothing for me, I just read an interview with him in this months Guitarist magazine, seems like he has only just understood the importance of leaving 'Space' in a song, Something Gilmour is the master at.
Pity he didn't learn the lesson 20 years ago when he was trying to get as many notes as he could in the shortest time possible. |

I was never a fan as such, but always loved Thin Lizzy, and I really like his Back On The Streets album.
Worst Thin Lizzy guitarist has got to be John Sykes, surely. |

Tony Iommi? im not going to 'stick the boot in' just yet, i will give you the opportunity to defend yourself first, queens bury rules and all that.
So in the words of the much underrated actor who played the Lion in 'The Wizard of Oz' 'Stick-em up, go on, stick-em up' . |
