Throwing awesome guitar from crossroads movie into the trainwreck :)

This is Steve Vai and Ry Cooder playing. Just pretend ya never saw Ralph Machio faking it...

Matt Abts is the best current drummer to me.

For drummers past, any list has to include Gene Krupa and Buddy Ritch

Bonham has to be up there too.

Charlie Watts is a solid drummer....Keith Moon was ok

Okay, okay, I'm have to admit to this, but I loved the reality show "Rock Star" when it was on, the talent was 1000 times better than Idol (yes, I watched that too, as I hang my head in shame). And there were some songs that were covered great IMO, and one was The Man Who Sold The World covered by Jordis. She was fanastic! Every time I hear her sing this song I get the chills.

She also rocked Heart Shape Box by Nirvana.

Then one of my other favs was done by this guy Marty Casey, and he got stuck having to sing Hit Me Baby One More Time by good old Brittney Spears, and he rocked it.

Okay, now you all can start laughing at me.
