I had a chance to go "pro" as a bar band guitar player a while back(I don't play anymore). I think creating is super cool,but playing live (Freeeeeeeebird!!!!!),and traveling sucks. I'd go with Jiu Jitsu god.
Phil Lynot is/was the lead vocalist/band leader for Thin Lizzy in the 70's and 80's. Very under rated Irish musician. Randy Rhoads is awesome. His documentary is coming out later this year or early 2011.
