"The only one who makes me sweat" Yngwie??
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
"Any amplifier we ever made, that guy could blow up" - I was also thinking Blackmore.
"Like... the upper half of Pete Townshend with the lower half of James Brown" - I was thinking Wilko for the working man's guitarist, but I think @monquixote has to be right on this one.
"Like a thunderbolt out of the sky" - Hendrix?
"The working man's guitarist" - Rory Gallagher?
"I'd crawl across broken glass to stick flags in his shite" - it sounds like something Noel Gallagher might say, but I've no idea who he'd say it about.
Absolutely no idea on the others.
The Dick Dale quote was made by Forrest White who was president of the Fender company at the time, exasperated by Dale's insatiable desire for more volume.
The Townshend/Brown hybrid was Michael "Cub" Koda talking about Wayne Kramer, who he further described as the "greatest guitar performer rock & roll has produced". But you would be forgiven for thinking it was a description of Wilko Johnson - Wilko himself admits he was heavily influenced by the MC5 who the early Feelgoods shared a bill with.
I'm not sure if BB King was implying Peter Green scared him when he came out with that quote, I reckon it was more along the lines of "gives me the shivers" which could be interpreted differently.
I would have accepted Steve Jones as well as Ron Asheton for the Iggy quote, I think he referenced them both with it.
The "Thunderbolt" was Eric Clapton described by John Etheridge, trying to explain the "Clapton is God" reaction. It's hard to explain to successive generations but that's the effect he had. Pity it's been downhill ever since.
The working man's guitarist is indeed Rory Gallagher - a good "wild guess" @Philly_Q
He was described thus by the wonderful Lenny Kaye who also, as far as I'm concerned, invented the term Punk Rock.
And the final quote correctly identified by Mr Mudslide was from Middlesbrough's finest (no, he is not a Geordie...) Chris Rea about Mark Knopfler.
