I love alex lifeson
he is pretty good, not the best though
i also like roger hodgson and david bowie

no one really considers any of them the best, but they are some of my favorites

and of course yngwie

I'm not much into the names behind the music, but the bassist of Iron Maiden rules

Steve Harris is the bassist for Maiden. All the members of Maiden should be in the top five of their craft.

Ahhh the Seville Concert, watch Sakura and Concierto de Aranjuez: Adagio Movement...those are sweet as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEx1-k5TZSs - Sakura

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GS48Uwo4NzA - Aranjuez

I've got the theme and first two variations to Sakura down

And a little fun fact now, one time while John Williams and Andres Segovia were talking guitar Williams offered Segovia a joint and Segovia had no idea what he was talking about.

I should add a special shout out to Sid Vicious in case johnnyrotten happens upon this thread

Sid Vicious is the epitome of poser. He didn't even play bass for the sex pistols he stood up there and looked pretty. They mostly had another bassist playing in the background and in recordings.
Aye, Glen Matlock.

Yep, couldn't remember the first name thought the last name was matlock.

Tony Iommi
Angus Young
Steve Perry
Eddie Van Halen
Joe Walsh
Eric Clapton

Sorry, but six is neccessary. And no instrument is the best in rock/metal, all are needed.
