UnderRated: Van Halen. He's so awesome, that he makes people think he's less awesome than he really is (it boggles the mind).

If hes overrated no one has mentioned him on this thread but me.Listen to cortez the killer and get back to me.
He is a brilliant lead player,no one sounds like that and i love the tone he gets.
Yes and I love van halen also.I dont just look for fast good players but also very good players with well placed notes and awesome tone.
I think ted nugent needs also mentioned here.If for nothing but the song stranglehold.I NEVER get tired of hearing that solo,its one of the best ive heard from anyone.
