#24 Joe Perry
Anthony Joe Perry prefers his middle name, Joe. He was born in 1950 on the 10th of September in Massachusetts. Joe is the iconic guitarist of Aerosmith and playing alongside Steve Tyler promoted his uncanny ability to stand out on stage for his incredible musical talents.
His incredible guitar riffs were referred to as “blues-on-steroids” by Rolling Stone magazine, which pretty much sums up his iconic style. It is believed that he was inspired by the solo artist Jeff Beck. “Walk This Way,” “Dream On,” and “Janie’s Got A Gun” are just some of the many songs that have shaped his fame as an iconic guitarist.
#23 Slash
Saul Hudson goes by the nickname “Slash.” The musical legend was born on the 23rd of July, 1965 in London. Slash may be believed to fit the term “sex, drugs, and rock ‘n roll” as a famed rock musician. However, he is actually one of the most influential guitarists in history. Despite his incredible success with the Guns N’ Roses, Slash is also known for his renowned prolific career as a solo artist.
“Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and “November Rain” mention just a couple of his remarkable solo tracks that he performed with the group Guns N’ Roses. Even though he left the group for a short time and joined Velvet Revolver, he has returned to Guns N’ Roses to perform alongside Axl Rose. Impressively, the group is currently still performing.
