Who are your all time favourite guitarists and drummers? Music magazines (here in the UK at least) normally do these kind of polls or debates on who the greatest guitarists and drummers are.

For me personally, my favourite drummer is Joey Jordison of SlipKnot (I'm a huge SlipKnot fan. Before I forget is my favourite song). I think he is hugely talented and I never get bored of listening to his work.

And my favourite guitarist ever would be Slash of Guns N Rose/Velvet Revolver fame. He is just amazing and may always be remembered for his solo in 'November Rain' and the classic 'Sweet Child o Mine'. Plus he done some good work on many other Guns tracks as well as his own albums.

Who are your favourites? Care to share? :)

:save: And you can name way more then just one. Name all your favourites you like :save:

Guitarist :: I don't know! I can't do my all-time-favourite as I might find a new band with an even better guitar ability xD The guitarist from Nightwish is beyond amazing, though.

Drummer :: Jussi69. That guy is so bloody hot ;_;

Guitarists: Alexi Laiho (Children Of Bodom), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Tom Morello (Audioslave), and more which I really can't think of at the moment.
Drummer: the only one that really comes to mind is Danny Carrey from Tool.

Slade

Guitarists:

David Gilmour - Pink Floyd
John Frusciante - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mike Einziger - Incubus
Mark Tremonti - Creed & Alterbridge

If I was to pick one then David Gilmour would be it.

Drummers:

Nick Mason - Pink Floyd
Chad Smith - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jose Pasillas - Incubus

Jose Pasillas would probably be my pick here due to the drum solo I saw him perform while looking up live concerts on the net.

Guitarists
Daniel Gildenlöw - Pain of Salvation
Alex Lifeson - Rush
John Petrucci - Dream Theater
Steve Vai

Drummers
Neil Peart - Rush
Johan Langell - Pain of Salvation

I am probably remembering a whole mess of people, but I think this will suffice as it is. I'd also like to add a personal friend of mine to the list. He's probably the most amazing guitarist that I have ever seen up close and personal.

Drummers: Neil Peart, Danny Carey, John Bonham, John Theodore, and Jeff Burrows (don't ask a drummer to pick just one).

Guitarist: Hmm, I'm having trouble thinking of many. I'll go with Jimmy Page, Jeff Martin, Alex Lifeson and Adam Jones.

And we wouldn't want to leave out bassists: Geddy Lee and Justin Chancellor.

I don't know about Guitarists, but I do think Dave McClain is one of the best heavy metal drummers out there right now. He doesn't rely too much on symbals and crashes as much as other drummers, and is extremely good with the double-kick pedal.
