I know not all of them were great, but they all could whoop me anyday. I have not been playing that long and anyone better than me I should respect their playing and try to learn from them. They all probably suck compared to a guy with a little more practice.
BTW Randy Rhoads played in the 80's and I believe he changed the metal in a big way. I have not heard EVH enough to judge. Should I check out his music?
