Jimmy Lea - Slade. Listen closely to some of his runs through the Slade classics. A multi-skilled guitarist, pianist and violinist too. Class.

I'm sure we've had this subject before. Apart from several already mentioned:

Cliff Williams AC/DC - he and Phil Rudd form a tight rhythm section
Steve Harris Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills!
Phil Lynott Thin Lizzy
Stu Hamm - Satriani's bassist (not sure if currently) - plays the Linus and Lucy song from Charlie Brown during his bass solo - awesome
John Deacon - Queen - Another One Bites The Dust!
Dennis Dunaway - original Alice Cooper band - listen to the Guttercat intro!
