David Wayne (Metal Church)
Lemmy
Rob Zombie

and I may get criticized for these two but:
Axl Rose
Sebastian Bach

Then
Dio (although awfully powerful for a 5 footer)
Dio was good on records, but the time I saw him live he wasn't all that good.
I'd thought the performance filmed for "Black and Blue" might have just been a bad night, but no.

Of the guitar players I've seen, Malmsteen…. not even top 10. People like him, but again, just unimpressive in concert.
