Best Cave ever with Bad Seeds was in a driving storm middle of day during a Lollapalooza. Proved if ever there were doubters he can play a big venue. Luckily I've seen him a dozen times in smaller venues since '80s. We do miss Blixa though.

VH. Goin' back to the first. I hates them. But I loves them. And my love is rotten to the core. Forget the technique for a second - this is simply one of the best electric guitar tones ever.

And since I'm in the mood, a little Motley.

Eddie is known for his solos and tapping etc but it is his rhythm playing that sets him apart.

A worthy effort in overthinking it:

Hurricane Smith produced several Beatles LPs, including Rubber Soul.
He also produced early Pink Floyd albums -- Piper at the Gates, Saucerful of Secrets and Ummagumma. One time Nick Mason couldn't get the drum part right, so Hurricane played the part himself. Genius!
The man had all the pedigree any recording engineer would want, but in the early 1970s Hurricane got out of the game producing these teeny-boppers to make his OWN righteous progressive music. As Johnny says here in the introduction, Hurricane makes his U.S. debut at age 49. (What are the chances that's a wig?)
