Most influential guitar player of all time. Yes over Jimi
-
Nope. I'm gonna beg to differ with you on that point.
There are 3 great leaps forward in rock guitar, and IMHO, they each get a .333% share of the most influential natty.
Jimi
Eddie

Yes, I'm certainly #1 on the list.
Chuck Berry was ok too. He stole it all from me.
-
I knew that comment would trigger Yella.
I would probably put Jimi at #1 by a cunt hair, but only because he arrived before Eddie did.
Marty McFly > Chuck Berry.
Ehh, fuck it. EVH > all.

I'm gonna learn you some respeck for the history of the genre if it hair lips the governor.

I thought I had posted this, but in my opinion Jimi is the "greatest" guitar player for a lot of reasons but Eddie is the most influential. One testament to Jimi was he was so unique that he was hard to replicate whereas with like Eddie 95% of people who have picked up a guitar and tried to play since have basically been doing an Eddie impression in a lot of ways. Jimmy Page is probably closer too but he still feels like a blue rock guy which there were plenty before.
