Randy Rhoads Vs Eddie Van Halen
admin 
Another epic battle here. Randy Rhoads burst onto the scene as the axeman for Ozzy Osbourne, after trying out while as a member of Quiet Riot. Eddie as we all know, comes from the band after his surname, Van Halen.
Both brought the shred style into vogue, making it the absolute way to get known during the late 70′s and early 80′s. Where Eddie had the luck of using the Floyd Rose to introduce the dive bombs to the world, Randy’s classical style blended with his precision speed picking demonstrated only parts of how far these two guitarists could go.
For my money, I’d take Rhoads…

Who would you rather see live? Who was/is more influential?
Jimmy Page Vs Pete Townshend
Here we have an old-school battle coming from two masters of their craft. Both have had tremendous impact on music even today, and both were parts of epic bands – Led Zepplin for Jimmy and The Who for Pete.
Both displayed a sense of style while playing on stage that truly set them apart from their contemporaries. Both play with seemingly reckless abandon, yet it’s entirely under control due to their years of practice.

Who was more influential? Who is the one you’d want to hear play live?
Angus Young Vs Ace Frehley
Here we have two of the thumpiest guitar players around. With AC/DC, you know that you’ll get pounding, driven riffs with blazing solos from Angus. When Ace was with KISS, besides creating all the killer licks and leads, there was the “entertaining the crowd” element always present.
While Ace enjoyed some success with his solo projects, he is still primarily remembered and regarded as part of the original KISS line-up.

Who do you think is the better guitarist?
Buckethead vs. Slash
Here is another match in which I am completely biased towards one contestant over the other. So, I’ll leave it up to you, dear reader, to determine the winner.
