Yngwie is amazing - his Arpeggios from Hell video on you tube is stunning.
Steve Vai for me is technically a genius and probably the best although all his grinding and gesticulating puts him up there for the worlds biggest knob jockey as well.
I still like Blackmore and Page for their Riff writing and solos.

As I said on the other thread, I’m a huge Vai fan. But you are 100% correct. But when you’re that good, all the ‘Sex-face’ stuff just adds to the show...feel sorry for his wife though ;)
For those unaware of Vai’s onstage histronics...
