NeilPeartFan2112 Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Alright, I don't know if this has been done before or not, but I'm making the post anyway. Just wondering who some of your favorites are at guitar, bass and drums. I'll start things off. (These aren't in any order from best to worst, just my favorites) Drums Neil Peart Keith Moon Buddy Rich Bill Bruford Gene Krupa Guitar Alex Lifeson Eric Clapton Pete Townshend David Gilmour Jimmy Page Bass Geddy Lee John Entwistle Jaco Pastorius Flea Les Claypool (Not the biggest fan of Primus's music, but Les's bass playing is sweet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
