Eh... I don't really like that version Glass. I know it was groundbreaking stuff when it first came out but it just sounds too "sloppy" to me.

such a bad version for such a all star lineup... weak vocals, weak guitar playing and please don't dig up Johnny Winter out of the grave anymore lol About the only one who did a decent solo was Jimmy Vaughn and that wasn't that great... wish his brother was still alive so he could of shown them how it's done... i prefer the Blues Brothers version so much more.... :
Steve Morse is a pretty good guitarist.... he was in Kansas as well as his own solo band... he is more like a hired gun then a true member... but I wouldn't consider them Deep Purple without Ritchie Blackmore there.. and you be hard pressed to convince the new generation of metalheads that DP is metal... to them no one in the late 60's to early/mid 70's was metal except Sabbath...

true... the electronics got better and better, i just can't place the opening riff as rock... esp. if you compare it to somebody like Peter Frampton-rock ....
i was around to watch the "new" metal be born...
saw Judas preist three times... iron maiden.
was Def Leppard metal or hard rock? saw them ..
i go thru this discussion frequently with one of my kids.. what's metal and what's hard rock.. why aren't the Eagles Country Western why dad, why, why,why ... it's all good...

the new generation of metalheads think in terms of metal of today and exclude everything in the past except Sabbath... I try to explain to them that for it's time it was metal because there was nothing like it in those days... that yes it is hard rock per say but metal is a hard version of rock anyways... but those bands like Purple, Sabbath, AC/DC etc. were a little more then just regular hard rock... maybe a grey area/borderline... but they compare such bands with bands of today which is not a fair assessment since all music evolves...
As for Def Leppard... they were Metal up to their Pyromania album.. after that they cease to be so..

that really sucked about the drummers accident...
yeah it sucked but he still plays with Def Leppard even though he's limited in speed...
but anyways below is a video clip of two guys well known in the metal world..they are in the band Children of Bodom... just wanted to show you that metal guitarists are very good musicians that can play any style of music and not just metal no matter how difficult the piece is:
