Who Could Axe For More



Awhile ago I came across a listing from Guitar World Magazine of the "Top 100 Guitar Solos" based on their readers' input.

Here are the top 10:

1. Stairway To Heaven - Jimmy Page
2. Eruption - Edward Van Halen
3. Freebird - Collins/Rossington
4. Comfortably Numb - David Gilmour
5. All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix
6. November Rain - Slash
7. One - Kirk Hammet
8. Hotel California - Don Felder/Joe Walsh
9. Crazy Train - Randy Rhoads
10. Crossroads - Eric Clapton

(click here for the complete list)


I've obtained the whole list of 100 and have been listening to them on my nonPod (which just returned from Cuba). Not sure that I'm in total agreement but there are some great riffs on these tunes.


Boyz: if you're interested I've uploaded the 100 mp3s to a gmail acct. Email me if you'd like access.

By The Numbers


Just discovered today from a very reliable source that my key characteristics are:

"wisdom, knowledge, analysis, introspective, creative, contemplative, spiritual, understanding, and awareness".

Not only that, the same source informed me that my "depth of thinking and constant attainment of knowledge and understanding" were my main attributes.

Who knew that all this could come from one simple number?

Yes, I now believe that numerology is the key to deep understanding of one's own and others' lives.
