PS: Hendrix in many different ways, SRV the song "Couldn't Stand the Weather", Bill Frisell's beautiful reverb eg the album "Have a Little Faith"
The Bee Gee's "This is Where I came In" for chillingly good acoustic rhythm guitar - and that's before their harmonies commence.
For tone that absolutely fits with the time, the music and the band, I still really rate AC/DC's TNT/High Voltage stuff. Just has a raw, dirty edge that matches Bon's vocals perfectly, as well as capturing the essence of a live gig in shit-hole bar in back of nowhere Oz outback town, with two angry little scotsmen letting their guitars say "don't fecking mess with us!".
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.
Not much of a Queen fan, but pretty much all of Brian May's tones get me excited, and Angus gets a good tone too most of the time, especially in tunes like Back in Black, and Gary Moore's bluesy stuff is awesome tone wise too, for me anyway!

Bon was a tone in himself and you're spot on that he fit with the two angry Scotsmen!
perfect thrash sound imho and love the "violin" type riff from 1:55
Hurdy Gurdy.... some how... and I'm not entirely certain how mind you, an instrument that sounds like someone has shoved a nest of angry hornets into a goose with a kazoo bill and is randomly slapping the poor creature with an accordion.... Sounds amazing.
