Billy Gibbons
ZZ Top’s lead guitarist and the lead singer would be the 70-year-old Billy Gibbons if the beard did not give it away. The guitar maven founded The Moving Sidewalks early in his career, opening for The Jimi Hendrix Experience, encouraging Gibbons to become great friends with Jimi. ZZ Top’s Texas blues boogie style, now selling out gigs worldwide, is no doubt thanks to Billy Gii Top’s genius.

Joe Bonamassa
Here’s why Joe is included on this chart. It’s a well-known fact that when he was just 12, Joe Bonamassa opened up for B.B. King. B.B. King reported that the audience was silent when he started performing, taking a moment to understand that it was the kid who created those noises. But when the reality sank in, the audience went wild, and Bonamassa has since played for huge audiences.
