Another Damn List

Okay, it's been a while since my last Top Ten list and this is a list of "Cool" guitar players. Now keep in mind, this is my blog, my website, and my list. So you don't have to agree with it. But you should be aware of who these people are. I say People, not Men, because one lady did make the list. Also this is in no particular order. Just how I thought them up. So enjoy, or not.

1. Jimmy Page - What can you say about Jimmy Page that hasn't already been said? He's just phenomenal, and pretty much made Led Zeppelin who they were.
2. Les Paul - Besides his many contributions to the music industry, like multi-track recording and the Iconic Les Paul guitar he played every week at the same club in New York City until the week before he died at age 94. Plus when he was younger, he had his arm smashed in a car accident, so he had his arm set so he could still play guitar, with a smashed arm! Now that's Rock N' Roll, no wait, that fuckin' Rock N' fuckin' Roll!!
3. Joe Perry - Or Joe Fuckin' Perry as Steven Tyler calls him is probably the most suave axeman that's ever been. Plus the dude still looks good for his age.
4. Joe Satriani - This guy gave lessons to guitar players like Steve Vai and Kirk Hammett. That's cool. We couldn't do without them. And he had a full head of hair and just decided to shave it all off to be unique. Also watching the stage lights dance and reflect off of his chrome Ibanez is just mesmerizing.
5. Steve Vai - I mentioned him up above, but do you remember the guitar duel in the movie 'Crossroads'? That was him dueling the Karate Kid. Plus he did the riffs for the Bill & Ted movies and George Carlin's guitar solo in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey.
6. Lita Ford - She was hot, yes, but she could actually play too. It wasn't just window dressing. Any broad that can throw down like that is cool in my book!
7. Ace Frehley - I've never been a big fan of Kiss, but watching him play his smoking guitar was cool. That's right his guitar would start smoking as he played, of course it was an effect, but who else has done that?
8. Keith Richards - I'm not very big on the Rolling Stones either, but let's face it. This man is invincible. Seriously, he may never die. Now that's cool.
9. Zakk Wylde - Who else could throw down for Ozzy for 20 years? Well, maybe Randy Rhoads could have, but unfortunately he died, or maybe he'd be on this list instead. Plus Zakk decided that he was tired of his baby face and wanted to look like an alcohol fueled viking. I love vikings!!
10. Johnny Ramone - Never has busting out a series of power chords been so cool. He made me think that I could actually play. Too bad fucking cancer had to go and take him from us.

Here is my barely missed out section.

• Slash - He is just in a category all his own. All Hail!
• Synester Gates - That is one of the coolest names ever! Plus this dude can shred.
• Eddie VanHalen - The more I hear about him, the more he sounds like a douche. But he is one of the most iconic guitar players ever.

By the way, no one who died of drug related deaths made this list. Doing drugs may be cool or at least look cool, but doing them until you die is just fucking lame.
