Dave Grohl is one of rocks
finest. He was the drummer of the former early 90's grunge band
Nirvana. He now is the guitarist and lead singer of the Foo
Fighters. He has already proved himself as one of rock's greatest
drummers and is now proving himself as a vocalist and leader of a band. |

James Hetfield is the the rhythm
guitarist and lead singer of Metallica. He is the "flame"
of Metallica. the late 80's he was playing a concert and Kirk Hammett the
lead guitarist of Metallica was about to start his solo. James
dropped back to give Kirk the spotlight and the pyro guy didnt see him and
hit the button. The flame burned James' left body. The doctors
didn't know if he would ever play guitar again. In under a year he
was right back recording with Metallica. During the Summer
Sanitarium 2000 Tour James hurt his back. His physical therapist
said "James went through 2 weeks of physical therapy in 4
days." James is one of my biggest influences as a musicians. |

The current guitarist of The Red
Hot Chili Peppers, John Frusciante is climbing the ladder of the greats
one song at a time. To me he is already a great. |

John Petrucci is the current
lead guitarist of Dream Theater, a band packed full of the best musicians
around. John Petrucci is the greatest. He plays so fast and so
accurate you cant even make sounds with your mouth as fast. Guitar
magazines everywhere consider him a legend. |

The Rolling Stone have influence
almost every rock band out today. If they weren't influenced by the
entire band they were at least influenced by their guitarist Keith
Richards. He plays a fender Telecaster just like Bruce Springsteen.
Keith is so old and can still play so nicely. |

The lead guitarist of Metallica,
Kirk Hammett has influenced his band in so many ways. Once he
started playing the 8 minute songs were gone, there were no more
instrumentals and bluesy style solos soon took over. He won Guitar
World's Reader's Poll for best guitarist of 2002. He plays his
custom ESP and in the picture he is playing a Gibson Les Paul. He is
one of my favorite guitarists. |

Kurt Cobain (pictured far right
with the left handed guitar) was one of the best song writers
around. He played guitar and sang for the band Nirvana, his career
was cut short due to his death. |

Zakk Wylde is the Ozman's
guitarist. He is taking the heavy metal way of playing the guitar by
storm. He always says that playing for Ozzy is like playing for the
world's greatest cover band. He has a lot to live up to playing for
Ozzy, after fans got so hooked on the short life of Randy Rhoads. |
