    Robin Powell: 
    He's a good guitarist, but his riffs are a mess, and IMO if you're making music creativity is much more important than skill.

    May not be the most technical, but he's made probably the most recognisable riff ever, (Sweet Child of Mine), along with paradise city, welcome to the jungle and night train. Plus, I have seen him live :D
