Paul "Tonka" Chapman.....didn't think I'd see that name on the list any time soon. He ain't Schenker(but then again, WHO IS), but his stuff w/ UFO is excellent...never saw him live, but would have liked to. That was a very good list.....I saw Gay Moore in Boston in 1987 and he was phenomenal.....I wish he'd play the states.

Chapman has quite the cojones.... before replacing Schenker in UFO (Mystery Train is a fekkin awesome track) Paul replaced Gary Moore in the ORIGINAL Skid Row at a time when Gary was considered as perhaps THE top young guitarist in the UK......
That's true....I forgot about that. Did that version of Skid Row ever record anything that is available to purchase today?

Paul came in and redid all the guitar parts on the long lost third Skid Row Album this one: http://www.garymoorefc.com/_/node/74
The Chapman recordings have not yet been released but of course the GM version was issued after Gary's still got the blues success to obviously" cash-in" on his popularity. I for one would love to hear and compare the Chapman versions!!! Also love to hear some live boots with Paul...
Of course the connection with Gary continues: John Sloman played in the Gary Moore Band early 80's and of course with Paul in LoneStar late 70's..... (Love the LoneStar version of the Beatles She Said She Said.......
What a tangled web LMAO.....

WOW WHAT A TOPIC AND LIST~~~~~~ But in my opion Pat Travers needs to be there somewhere??
If you haven't listened to him in a while or have never listened to him, this is the CD to get " Stick with what you know" it is a cd that was sold at shows and over the pond??? Kick a$$ $hit.
"I saw the Jeff Beck gig at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London on Thursday night (29 November 2007). In the audience were Brian May, Tony Iommi, Jon Bon Jovi and Jimmy Page." Clapton ended up on stage w/Jeff. Who will show up in the Zep audience or maybe even guest? Anyone ever been to this Ronnie Scott's Club, they don't always serve straight up jazz?

There's a Ronnie Scott's in Rome where I am for work at the moment, but all they play is J-Lo!! 
Only 3 for me that played/play as much with their hearts as their hands. Rory Gallagher, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Joe Bonamassa.
Honorable mention: Walter Trout, Chris Duarte and Albert Cummings.
I agree with all of those and add Frank Marino and this:

HF-A couple of your mentions are really taking me back, Leo Kottke, Les Dudex...really liked him...wore out the vinyl on this album!!

And David Bromberg...saw him a few times, once at a very small club, The Main Point, in Penna. which hosted many who went on to be famous. (Cat Stevens, Bruce, Bonnie, etc.) Bromberg makes custom violins now in Delaware & still plays. He showed up as a surprise to Bonnie's last stop on her tour in Del. a couple of years ago.

Thanks Angela. Any chance before Christmas?
Speaking of David Bromberg..."My band", Nothin But Trouble recorded at a theater in Delaware and he was there. He likes them so much he's talking about having them record some blues songs that he has written. Sonny Landreth..my fav slide player (has replaced Ry Cooder at the top)..Finally has a DVD in the works. If you haven't seen him, it's a must. Then there's the kid from Back Door Slam, 21 and amazing. And finally I love the Hoax boys and Aynsley Lister.....and about a million more...JB remains my all round champ and doubt he'll be knocked off the top of the mountain. Cathy
