Hey I have heard a rippin version of Wind Cries Mary that John Mayer did. It was awesome...but the rest of his stuff I just can't get into. If I ever did though, I think I would put a bullet in my head, so maybe that's a good thing.
Also iiholly, never use the words Jewel and ...sucks in the same sentence in my presence. You get me all excited, since she is a babe. :)

OH ok ok my top 5:
This week it's...
1) Steve Lukather
2) Lil Stevie Vai
3) SRV
4) Brad Paisley
5) Kirk Hammet (LOL just kidding. He's not worthy of my list)
the real number 5 is.... Clapton.
