Well Randy Rhoads has been dead at least 25 years. And wasn’t Viv Campbell Dio’s Guitarist in the 80’s.
Shouldn’t guitarists be getting better and better all the time? Shouldn’t there be as many famous guitar heros now as before?

And where is Matt Bellamy on the top 100 list? Muse is not particularly obscure.
Vivian Campbell is in Def Leppard now. Let’s not forget Steve Clark and Phil Collen too! Also, Michael and Rudy Schenker.
