Glen Tipton & KK Downing of Judas Priest.

Quite a big band but nobody ever mentions this guy. Bit of a hero of mine, made me want to pick up a guitar.

Leslie West

[Lizard]

Good choice Lara, Leslie is a great guitarist, defined more by his sound than technical ability, however is not just about speed, there are many great guitarist defind by thier sound, Clapton is not technically brilliant, but has a unique sound, Vai, EVH, Malmsteen, Cooder,Satriani, all have both.

I'd go with that. The Stones certainly produced their finest work whilst he was in the band.

Yes indeed- I saw Leslie and co. two or three years ago at a rock club in Wolverhampton. Loved to have seen them with Felix- and to my memory they do not play any Pappalardi/Collins numbers; in the same way that Clapton no longer plays Strange Brew so that Gail gets sweet FA income.
