Not only is Alex Lifeson the world's best lead guitarist, but Neil Peart is the world's best drummer.

Rush sucks.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I saw the "Does bass count" before the video loaded and I was all ready to say "Only if it's Victor Wooten" not expecting to be... but sure enough you actually know what you're talking about.

I find that players with the best technique are usually the most boring 
Give me the sloppiness of Jimi Hendrix or Jack White any day over that virtuouso stuff.

Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it.

I don't know about the best but this sounds so ahead of it's time and it's on acoustic written in the 30's.

My favorite band Mitchnast, hehe.
Also, anyone like Necrophagist? Fuck they're good guitar players.
I'm in love with shred though, so not everyone would agree, I suppose.
