Planet Rock Best solo Poll
'Do not despise the snake for having no horns, for who is to say it will not become a dragon?'
I just have to say that I think the listeners made a good choice for their #1. I think that song is just amazing in the way Gilmour makes his guitar sing. It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
I don't have faith in faith, I don't believe in belief, You can call me faithless, I still cling to hope, And I believe in love, And that's faith enough for me... Neil Peart
I'm with you.....Gilmour is on the same plane with BB King and Clapton, with respect to being able to say SO MUCH in just a few notes....PV wrote:I just have to say that I think the listeners made a good choice for their #1.
