Видимо предвидя споры по поводу списка лучших гитаристов всех времен, журналисты "Guitar World magazine" выпустили книгу - 'Van Halen: 40 Years Of The Great American Rock Band'
According to the Van Halen News Desk, the editors of Guitar World magazine have compiled a new book dedicated to one of the greatest rock bands the U.S. has ever produced: VAN HALEN. The book, "Van Halen: 40 Years Of The Great American Rock Band", tells you everything you ever wanted to know about Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth, Michael Anthony, Alex Van Halen and Sammy Hagar.
The book is the ultimate collection of interviews with and stories about the mighty VAN HALEN — from their beginnings as a young rock act on the Sunset Strip through their critically acclaimed 2012 comeback album, "A Different Kind of Truth".
You'll learn everything there is to know about every era of VAN HALEN, including:
* The 50 greatest VAN HALEN songs of all time, from "Runnin' With The Devil" to "Tattoo" and every classic song in between. Guitar World's editors pick the best of the best. * The complete history of VAN HALEN — their early struggles as an unknown rock outfit to their ascension to worldwide superstar status, as well as the revolving door of singers that fronted the band after the initial departure of David Lee Roth. * The making of nearly every VAN HALEN record in the band's extensive catalog, including "Van Halen", "Van Halen II", "Women And Children First", "1984", "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge" and "A Different Kind Of Truth". * Revealing interviews with Eddie Van Halen in which he details his guitar playing on nearly every VAN HALEN album, the gear he used during recordings and onstage, his relationships with his bandmates past and present and his longtime battle with alcohol. * A legendary roundtable discussion between Eddie Van Halen and his hero, guitar pioneer Les Paul. * In his own words, Wolfgang Van Halen: the teenage son of Eddie who became VAN HALEN's permanent bass player after Michael Anthony's departure.
Through the years, Guitar World has been there to bring you in-depth, first-hand reports on Edward Van Halen's tumultuous career. It's been a wild ride for Eddie and VAN HALEN — and you can read all about it right here in this incredible collection of historic interviews and articles from the pages of Guitar World.

Available for the first time on DVD and only in the "The Beginning" box.
The footage from various concerts from the "Shadow Of The Moon" and "Under A Violet Moon" tours is enriched by interviews with Ritchie Blackmore and Candice Night, as well as backstage footage, rehearsal footage and medieval fight shows.
"We live the music," says Ritchie Blackmore, confirming the impression that this documentation gives every second — BLACKMORE'S NIGHT is authentic. The enthusiasm of the musicians captivates the audience and takes them along on a journey through the past. Some of the DVD tracks go from the living room rehearsals to the stage and are impressive proof that the compositions function wonderfully as intimate acoustic versions, as well as with the full band on the big stage.

Конечно Rush очень достойная группа и скорее всего займет первое место. Но это,как мне кажется, не отражает мнение слушателей в нашей стране. Поэтому, при возможности проголосовать за 5 кандидатов, за Rush голосовать не стал. За них, итак проголосуют канадцы-американцы. А нас меньше.
Пока разница 8%. Но она имеет тенденцию снижаться. DP должны победить.!!! :)
