I am always amused at how seriously many take this meaningless contests.  Who cares who wins?  It means nothing.

After the huge public debacle of JP plagiarizing lyrics, this poll is of utmost importance for JP to regain confidence and respectability as an artist.

LOL

You and the 4 other people actually shaken up about that for some bizarre reason hardly qualifies as John "needing to regain confidence and respectability as an artist."

I love JP, but he's just not the best metal guitarist. This poll really doesn't mean anything other than reinforcing the fact that DT fans are obsessed beyond reason  ;D

I really think he is best.But this is my opinion because I love DT and prog.Someone else, who loves heavy metal will vote for Rhandy Rhoads etc.

JP still at 26%

Did anyone vote for the solo? In that top 20 there were at least 5 I would vote for, I can't go past Steve Vai though. :)

But when you are listed as number 2 behind Alexi???  Really? Thats like being a world class, olympian athlete, then getting second place at the special olympics in water polo because the judges thought the winner brought more people to watch the game.

This is a fantastic response to the poll, maybe a hint of  political correctness in the result.  :\
