I personally think John Petrucci of Dream Theater is one of the best technical guitarist out there. And for metal, I think Darrell Abbott of Pantera is unsurpassed.

Amazing bass player.... Billy SheehanI've seen this guy play live three times. Twice with David Lee Roth and once with <cringe> Mr. Big. As far as rock and roll bass players go...I don't think there's better. It was quite a stunning thing to witness a dualing guitar solo between Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan. Wow.

I only went to see Billy play.  They played at "Club Casino" in Hampton Beach, NH. I knew a guy that worked there and we ended up watching the entire show standing and leaning on the stage. I think Mr. Sheehan may have sweated on me during his solo (ewwww).

I would also say that James Hetfield should be the one to gush over - the king of riffology!!!
If we are mentioning drummers, Danny Carey from Tool must be put into the equation.

I'm going to say Regina Spektor. I mean, she barely BARELY plays guitar, but come on, she's Regina Spektor.

Hu....no one mentioned Angus Young. I've stood front row at three different AC/DC concerts and thought he was pretty amazing. Like the eveready bunny on a fist full of yellow jackets.

You know, Mike, it's funny you should post about Angus. I was thinking the same thing last night. I think he's too easily dismissed. Probably more compelling as an "entertainer" than a "guitarist", but he certainly has mad skills.
I'm also surprised that Chris Squire of Yes hasn't gotten much traction from the bass player posts.

Steve Howe (guitar) and Alan White (drums) could receive honorable mention...
