What? The 80's were all about the shred players, and Mars couldn't hold a candle to their technique. He's a decent player, yes. But no where near a great. Hawkins is another groove player with solid rhythmic chops. Your pick for Gibbons was spot on, Lyle. Although the other guys mentioned are good players, they are a dime a dozen.
But hell, I'm a musician and that may have something to do with pickings.
