LarryUK Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 After seeing the post on BB King. Who would you say is/was a legend in their own lifetime? I'll start with Elvis and Jimmy Page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Farnsbarns Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Sol Campbell Robert Johnson Charlie Christian Gary Moore Chet Atkins Django Reinhardt There are hundreds of guitar players who are/were legends in their own lifetimes I suspect. Not all the above are my favourites but are/were certainly recognised as truly great players before death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimi Mac Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Buddy Guy! And probably Eric Clapton... Here's one that went off the rails... Peter Green. He was a legend and became something other than what he was. He's still Peter Green, but he lost that Peter Green in himself a long time ago...
