My opinion says this song rocks plugged-in. I hate the crappy ass acoustic version. Dont get me wrong lots of songs sound great acoutic but, this was meant to be rocking plugged-in and screamed. I feel there is a lot more emotion coming out of the original version.Go Derek & the Dominos. As far as, great guitarist. They are all great in their own way. We wouldnt idolise them any other way. If you guys wanna do that.Then what about Les Paul, Carl Perkins or even older Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters

could it get any better

They are not over-rated. Personally, I like Clapton and Hendrix about the same. They tie at 1 and 2 on my list. Van halen didn't have that big of an impression on me, either did jimmy page, and i don't know who petrucci is. Steve vai and Satch are also in my top 20. All i am trying to say is, OPINIONS ARE LIKE ASSHOLES, EVERYONE HAS ONE!!! (PERSONALLY, I -and other people-DON'T WANT TO SEE OR HEAR YOURS.)Sorry to put it that way, but it needed to be said.

they wouldnt exist if hendrix and clapton didnt start it all... and hendrix is way better than all them.

Is Steve Gadd on drums?

Personally, I think a great musician like Clapton goes beyond being technical. People like Vai, Petrucci, Satriani, etc.. have excellent techniques but they will hardly be remembered as rock icons.

Without a doubt EVH and petrucci are vastly more technical and they do deserve a fair amount of credit, on par with Jimi and Clapton even, but to me Hendrix, Clapton, Page, and all the classics should get all that credit not because they are somehow superior but because they re-invented rock and roll. But I know most other ppl dont see it that way...but thats just how i see it

clapton and hendrix were good for their time and i agree without them EVH, Vai, Petrucci wouldn't be playing but people have to stop acting like they're still the best. EVH is way more technical than both those and Petrucci is amazing as well

Haha all the guitarists you mentioned are overrated besides Petrucci.
