Jon Bon Jovi Names This Musician As Greatest Guitarist of All Time

Jon Bon Jovi picked one musician who deserves to be called the best guitarist of all time.

The rock 'n' roll industry has been debuting new musicians and adding more to its long list of great guitarists. When Bon Jovi was asked about his top choice, he named one without hesitating.

Who Is The Greatest Guitarist of All Time for Jon Bon Jovi?

The Bon Jovi frontman revealed his top pick during his guest appearance on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show" latest episode. When the host asked him the question, he immediately mentioned, "Beck, Jeff Beck."

He revealed that he would have named Jimi Hendrix at the top of his list, but his personal experience with Beck made Bon Jovi exclaim the late guitarist's name.

"I was in the room with Jeff Beck when he took a guitar out of a cardboard box, had a rented amplifier and no pedals and created that sound when we did the Young Guns record," Bon Jovi said per Loudwire, recalling that Beck was his guitar player. "I sat there flabbergasted because Jeff Beck did things with his fingers and his thumb that would blow your mind."

The 61-year-old "You Give Love a Bad Name" hitmaker was referring to the time when he recorded music as a solo artist for the film, "Young Guns II." The 1990 film featured Kiefer Sutherland, Emilio Estevez, Christian Slater, and Lou Diamon Phillips.

Apart from Beck and Hendrix, Bon Jovi named his other favorite players, including Eddie Van Halen and Mark Knopfler.

Jon Bon Jovi Has Been Rock Star Since High School, Wife Says

Elsewhere in the interview, Bon Jovi spoke about her wife of 34 years, Dorothea, and shared how they celebrated their recent anniversary.

The host asked Dorothea what the musician did for her on their anniversary celebration, joking about whether her husband took her in his arms and brought her to the bedroom.

The wife cheekily replied "Yes" to Stern, making the radio host giggle as he quipped about the couple making love to Bon Jovi's songs.

Kidding aside, Dorothea took her time to share the early days of their romance, including when they met and began dating during high school. According to her, Bon Jovi was the "cutest guy in school," and noted how he had been a rock star since then.

Their son, Jake Bongiovi, is following in their romantic footsteps as he recently confirmed his engagement to Millie Bobby Brown.
