I was actually listening to Man Alive yesterday. Spunk Rock is still an epic piece of music and they were a superb band. (Btw if you haven't read any of Deke's books, you definitely should). Mickey's son George plays with Son of Man and is really worth seeing if you get a chance. He's got a lot of the old man's talent and even uses his old SG and Strat.
TS is still trying to play, bless him, but on recent evidence the various strokes he's had have robbed him of a lot, if not all, of his skill. So sad, he was a unique talent in his prime.
Del looks like Albert Steptoe now but can still cut it.
Francis Rossi & Rick Parfitt.
Ian Crichton from Saga.
I've mentioned Micky Jones several times here over the years, there were times at gigs when I couldn't quite believe what I'd heard him play and felt that I'd cheated the band by not paying enough for my ticket. Very possibly the UK's Best guitarist you've never heard of.
I was a fan of both the Groundhogs and Stray from the age of about ten (the benefit of an older brother who had a decent taste in music, now sadly not so). I remember seeing the reformed Groundhogs at a gig that the pub landlord forgot to advertise, there were maybe half a dozen people there and three of them were locals who's just dropped in for a pint. Strangely enough, the band were awesome.

Who is he? Well, I managed to catch the start of "The Professionals" on ITV4 the other day.
Da Da Da Wakka Wakka Wakka :-)
He played the Wah Wah Guitar on the Theme Tune. Serious "Shaft" Level Wah and Skanky Rhythm skills.
Lots of good suggestions on here too.
James Dean Bradfield and Steve Craddock.
I agree Brian May is underrated to a point....or more uncool perhaps? But he is phenomenal in technique and playing. Orchestrated guitar parts - play them to 'normal' people and explain that's a multi-layered guitar and they suddenly 'get it'. Pioneering in so many ways. Many people love to knock him as a badger-saving, star gazing pop guitarist. There is a reason player-players such as Satch, Vai, Slash, Grohl and Beck love him!
I saw them play on the weekend, and they are amazing live...they feed off each other and is truely a great experience to witness the trio and Isaiah's amazing abilities.
I basically walked away from that gig thinking, i've had an experience similar to people who saw jimi hendrix live.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
