  1. When I read the title of your article, I was anxious to see what killer pic you got of Y&T’s Dave Meneketti because he surely should have been on this list!

  2. I agree, I was sure Dave Meniketti would be at the top so totally shocked when not at all! Glad Ritchie was on it! Ron Keel shreds too!

  3. Richie Kotzen was undeniably mind blowing but Luca Princiotta & Bas Maas playing for DORO were amazing! And how can you not give credit to Michael Brant playing for L.A. Guns?!?
