fair point. I think alot of people look down on Rusty Cooley 'cos he sweeps it all, so it's not 'real' speed. And Michael Angelo just looks ridiculous, so maybe people don't take him seriously... the dude looks like he walks around with a sleeping cat balanced on his head.... :D As far as I know he's kinda like a circus freak now anyway - gets wheeled out by Dean at the shows and that's it...

Yngwie ruined G3 in Denver - I wouldn't vote for him in any catagory except 'guitarist most likely to steal your doughnuts and throw a showbiz tantrum when you accuse him of it'....

I've only recently got into BucketHead, and he would probably stand up in all the catagories aside from slide/blues. Some of his stuff is amazing, and 'Enter the Chicken' is a contender for best album title in my opinion....
