Um? No... Hendrix and Page all the way. I don't even see how you can compare Hammett with Hendrix and Page? I just don't.

I voted Jimmy Page, but more for his performance on the BBC Sessions CD, which is mind numbingly superb. I think Hendrix gets too much attention and often gets votes just because thats what people think they should say.

Hendrix is amazing, but Jimmy Page was so good people thought he made a deal with the devil to get his talent.

The best right now? The lead guitarist from Slayer. I just started getting into them and the sheer speed and technical prowess of his work will make you're jaw drop. Artistically he's not that great, but for technical ability he is hands down the best.

That there be a man by the name of Kerry King.

Just download "Heartbreaker" from the "How the West Was Won" Cds.... Holy moly, Page truly outdoes himself there.
