I was thinking the same thing during the halftime show.

Prince is amazing. I tried telling old chubz this in an old best guitarist thread.

prince is awesome. I really enjoyed his half time show. Man, can he play.. he throws a little rock, with a little blues, and makes it sound oh so nice

The original post in the thread asked for "favorites" not necessarily elite. Joe Perry is a fine guitar player, and he certainly brings something to the table that made classic Aerosmith great. Likewise, I love Ace Frehley's playing. He may not have been the wizard that Eddie Van Halen was, but he certainly played soulful, melodic solos that weren't necessarily geared toward showmanship. I'd much rather have a guitar solo with its own melody than a bunch of notes mashed together that sound like a drowning turkey.

Also, its hard to not mention Tony Iommi when thinking of favorites. He was and remains great.
