    Alex Skolnick

    Kirk Hammett

    Elias Viljanen

    Alex Laiho

    Tony Iommi

    Jimmy Page

    Steve Vai

    ~not familiar enough with either to decide between them~

    Tom Morello

    Chuck Berry

    BB King

    Alex Lifeson

    Dave Mustaine

    Eric Johnson

    ~not familiar enough with either to decide between them~

    Part II

    ~Discounting the ones that do sing, I think I'd like to hear Alex Lifeson sing.

    ~Seeing Zakk Wylde in a clown wig would be entertaining...

    ~Dave Mustaine... because I'd love to hear the comments he'd come out with about it

    ~John Petrucci as I can see his style play going very well with that

    ~that would be Zakk Wylde too because depending on how much JD he's had the yeti might actually win

    ~Slash because I just can't picture him a cat lover

    ~Again Zakk Wylde...with enough JD he'd never realize he was wearing a tutu

    ~BB King because it would let me know he's still young at heart

    ~Chuck Berry for the same reason as above

    ~Somehow the manical look and world domination theme fits Hammett

    ~Jimmy Page the lion tamer...how sauve would that be...

    ~George Thorogood but only if he's also smoking the trademark cigar...

    ~I want to see Eric Clapton lose it.. he always seems so debonair...

    ~Now watching Dave Mustaine and Zakk Wylde duel to the death would be interesting indeed...

    ~I'd like to see Alex Lifeson and Alex Skolnick switch bands..

    ~Don't know enough about their wives to make that judgment...~

    ~I'd like to see BB King and Tom Morello switch clothes...

    ~Zakk Wylde and Chuck Berry....wonder if Chuck likes JD

    ~Jimmy Page and Slash forest frolicking..now that would be interesting...

    ~Tony Iommi and Steve Vai in an arm wresting match...we could be here awhile...

    ~Eric Clapton and Zakk Wylde getting drunk together..talk about one for the papers

    ~Dave Mustaine and Adrian Smith as song writing partners..killer...

    ~again that would have to be Dave Mustaine and Zakk Wylde..that could be the entertainment before the duel to the death...

    Vai is my favorite out of the list

    My least favorite would have to be Jimi Hendrix.. I'm not a huge fan..

    the only two I'm relatively unfamiliar with are the last two you listed.

    Source(s): Whewww where's my medal for finishing this ?? =oP
