It´s not my list actaully. I took it from the magazine and the page was Best shreders of eightis (the spinal countdown). I don´t think either that Joe our Eric Johnson our even Vai and definitly not Rhoads aou Van Halen can be called shredders ´cuse they are not. But they are pretty close since they all can get fast but they have some pretty slow emotional stuff and that´s why they can´t be called pure shredders.
