Top 105 Guitarists - The Winner page 33

[OB1]

No 4
It’s the Dutchman and my personal favourite. Just sneaking in ahead of Marr with 17 votes and 111 points
Eddie Van Halen.

2nd on my own list but in truth a joint favourite along with Blackmore.

The only guitarist to have had a comparable impact is Hendrix. EVH's "Eruption" is simpy one of the most influential and therefore important pieces of music ever. Hearing Van Halen I when it was released was a revelation. Seeing Eddie and the boys for the first time as they blew the greatest Heavy Metal band of all time away was incredible.

I will reveal the Top Three tomorrow. All I will say is that the gap between them and rest was by far, the largest margin within the Top 200 plus.

Why wait, we know who they are. ;-) Not sure on the order.

I have now listed everyone from no 4 down to 210 on the OP :-)

No 5
Born in Manchester. Joined some band from 82-87 and is a City supporter. With the joint 3rd highest 20 votes and 110 points its
Johny Marr

The good thing about Johnny being number 5 is the fact i didnt even see the request to vote so you can all be assured that (this time) myself and my 14 other accounts did not rig the vote!

Very disappointed to find John McGeogh (Magazine / Siouxsie & The Banshees) not in there

Mine too. Unique sound, technically spectacular, made every cover his own, but most important, wrote stuff that sticks in the ears.

"myself and my 14 other ...."

Grammar Alert!

I know everybody and his/her dog on the TV and radio like to refer to themselves as "myself" but I hope your upcoming book is free from this hideous misuse of the word.

Just imagine a world with "Myself heard it through the grapevine" or "Myself want to break free".

Oh god!....I already accepted Noel Gallagher would be number one right from the get go, but the thought has just occurred that Bob Dylan could be in this list...Shoot me...Shoot me now and set fire to me and piss on my still twitching corpse if it is so...

This is the highest my number one has ever appeared in these polls, so I’m taking that as a moral win and proclaiming EVH as the unofficial winner.:)
