ok, I've been watching this thread for a while. I agree with a lot that's already been posted but again, like somebody else said, Your hero could be someone's zero. So I hope I don't offend anyone. It's not that I think they suck or lack passion, I just, don't get it.
Yngwie Malmsteen - premature and constant note ejaculation
Steve Via - weird
Tom Morello - weirder
Steve Howe - technically amazing but it does nothing for me
Eric Clapton - I never was a fan of his phrasing. Too uptight for my taste.
Keith Richards
Edge
John Frusciante - good for a steady funk vamp
Santana
Eddie Van Halen - lost interest after Fair Warning.
Trey Anastasio
Anything from the grunge era, that dip from Limpbiskit and the kid from Hanson
