Eric Johnson.... he's very good but that lead tone and all those furry notes... I wanted to like hismusic and in fact I like some of it but it's an example of somebody who I should love and I just tolerate.

John Schofield... another guy who I should like but I don't. Well he's superb when he plays straight jazz but when he goes into "fusion" well, I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not clever enough.

Kirk Hammet... on the whole he's not that bad but sometimes he's very, very cringy. Out-of-tune bends and tasteless phrasing. Sometimes his playing is good most of the times it isn't, considering who he is.

and many more but those sprung to mind.
