I thought this was Steve Morse. Steve Morse joined the band when they kicked Richie out.

Really? I'd like to hear more about this, :-). Btw, I heard a couple of rumors about Led Zeppelin ripping of some people; the song "Whole lota love" was a song by Willy Dixon they just changed a bit. They settled in court about the copyrights. Jimmy Page is a great guitar player, but Hendrix will always be number 1 for me, as a rock guitar player.

Someone who hasn't been mentioned here is Keith Richards. Most people consider him a lousy drunk and lousy player. I used to think this guy can't play. That's until I saw the movie "Hail, hail rock n roll", a documentary of Chuck Berry. I then saw how well Keith can put his soul into playing on a guitar.
It's like this with these great guitar players: you hear 3 to four notes and you know who is playing. Keith Richards has that, Jimmy Hendrix has that, Eddie van Halen has that and Steve Vay.

Yoonchi.
