He was the man in Guitar Player long ago. That made my day. Just have to face it: He never had leatherpants on (i hope) (sorry Mike) He never said that he ruled (that alone makes him the ruler) He never cared what others might think about his ideas/riffing. That goes for all my heroes. Guitar or whatever :-) Maybe in the band. But that's an organism of it's own. He always did his own thing. That's what counts and that's what i'm in love with. -------------------- "Sir, we are surrounded! - Excellent, then we can attack in any direction!"

When you're in a dull dentist waiting room for hours, with a terrible toothache and you're thinking about extracting the damn thing yourself, you read whatever is there, just to think of something else. Ok, my rotten tooth is gone and i feel better...Now I can wash me of my sin. Besides, there was no Playboy around...

Polls suck period.Dennis was an original and truly gifted guitarist who influenced many others. That to me is enough to know he was a legend. For me labelling somebody the best is always clouded by subjectivity and really should only be treated as an opinion. Mags like Rolling Stone just like to pander to over inflated egos. It does little for the cause of music itself. -------------------- Hail Santa...

Now excuse me!! quote: 02. Kirk Hammett & James Hetfield (METALLICA)
BLAH! just take it with a grain of salt.........
quote: Well we are big rock singers, we've got golden fingers And we're loved everywhere we go We sing about beauty and we sing about truth At ten thousand dollars a show We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills But the thrill we've never known Is the thrill that'll get you when you get your picture On the cover of the Rolling StoneRolling Stone Wanna see my picture on the cover Rolling Stone Wanna buy five copies for my mother Rolling Stone Wanna see my smilin' face On the cover of the Rolling Stone I've got a freaky old lady name o' Cocaine Katy Who embroiders on my jeans I've got my poor old gray-haired Daddy Drivin' my limousine Now it's all designed to blow our minds But our minds won't really be blown Like the blow that'll get you when you get your picture On the cover of the Rolling Stone {Refrain} We got a lot of little teenage blue-eyed groupies Who do anything we say We got a genuine Indian guru He's teachin' us a better way We got all the friends that money can buy So we never have to be alone And we keep gettin' richer but we can't get our picture On the cover of the Rolling Stone {Refrain}
