My first exposure to Wagner/Hunter was my sophmore year in high school on the live LP "The Alice Cooper Show". Still have that on CD to this day. Great guitar work. Wagner was outstanding. I think it was a live Cooper show that inspired Randy Rhoads to take up rock guitar, according to interview... We'll miss you, Mr. Wagner!

Train Kept a Rollin (Aerosmith's) and live Sweet Jane, some of the best rock n roll guitar ever.

RIP, Dick. :cry:

Rock and Roll Animal the live album by Lou Reed was the zenith of Dick and Steve's prowess for me an absolute primer in heavy rock and roll and twin lead playing;
