Joe Walsh
Joe Walsh was born on November 20, 1947 in Wichita, Kansas. We bet no one was surprised that he went on to be a guitar player – after all, Fiddler is literally his middle name! At any rate, you have probably moved your hips to his iconic style that combines bass and rhythm with a certain wild touch. He was successful in numerous bands, although none of them ever reached the same popularity that Eagles did. He was a latecomer to the band, but they released “Hotel California” in 1975, the same year that he joined them. Needless to say, the guitar solo on there was a legendary one. Aside from that, he has made a name for himself with his performance in “Funk #49” and “Rocky Mountain Way”.

Prince
Prince Nelson was born on June 7, 1958 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We will forever miss this icon who truly changed the music scene. The brilliant guitarist-showman was reportedly only 7 years old when he wrote his first song, which he called “Funk Machine”. According to certain experts, there are hints of Jimi Hendrix in his sound. However, Prince himself did not agree with this and said, “If they really listened to my stuff, they’d hear more of a Santana influence than Jimi Hendrix.” He is best known for the songs “When Drives Cry” and “Kiss”. His “Purple Rain” solo is also another legacy of his. RIP, Prince.
