Rhoads isn't exactly a lead guitarist, but he was one of the best. So was Dime, shame that the good die young.

Its true, and the two of them died so violently.

Yeah. They were good people too. But no one should die the way Dime did. That is just messed up.

Never heard of Thin Lizzy? My classification of a rhythm guitarist is solely that. No solo's etc so that would mean both Smith and Gers discounted as they both play solo's.

Ah yes, but I was exagerating. It is kin of hard to tell who is Rhythmand who is lead in Thin Lizzy. If both lead and rhythm play the same Riffs are they not both lead guitarists? I understand what ou meant by rhythm guitarists not playing solos, but I don't think that takes away from being considered rhythm, everone needs their chance to stand out.

I forgot to mention Black Dog by Zepp. That rhythm alone is one of the best ever.
