One cool dude, two guitars and a bunch of looping pedals. All live, nothing pre-recorded.

Oh man there are so many you could list here. I love the hair bands of the 80's the riffs and soaring guitar solos. So many accomplished guitarists that died in obscurity when grunge came on the scene.
I did get a surprise from an unlikely source a couple years back. While visiting an Amusement Park they were having a free Rick Springfield concert that weekend. My wife was more pleased than I was but I was amazed at what an accomplished guitarist he is. Certainly not in the same conversation as a Randy Rhoades but it was a pleasant surprise. Actually, it was a much better concert than I anticipated. His voice hasnt dropped off with age like many singers from the '80s. And the women geez they were in nympho mode afterward but maybe it was the cheap beer!?

Brad is an amazing guitarist.

Well I looked at all-around attributes, Sambora while a great guitarist was an exceptional songwriter, composer and producer. C.C. Deville was an accomplished guitarist (quiet the shredder) and an exceptional performer and showman. Much like Ozzy being called one of the greatest vocalists (when we both know quality wise he didnt have the best voice but his showmanship certainly earns him the mention) Its only too bad that he was accused of stealing music and pretty much left the bright lights of fame in shame after a drug crazed performance followed by a beating by Brett Michaels and subsequent dismissal from Poison. He probably never felt a thing he was so coked up....lol. So yes CC is probably less worthy of being on that list but seeing him in person when he was young he was quite the performer. That list was just off the top of my head and there are quite a few unmentioned that would be far more qualified than these two though.

My dad had a few of their albums that I came across while digging and I got really into in my early twenties. I really liked the album Street Corner Talking. I've never met anyone who has heard of them.
