Just a silly idea, but food for thought, right? I’m always making comparisons between musicians and athletes, so why not pair up some possible soul-brethren?

Eddie Van Halen = Magic Johnson

Jeff Beck = Barry Sanders

Ozzy Osbourne = Lance Armstrong

Flea = Mohammad Ali

Zakk Wylde = Ray Lewis

Randy Rhoads = Bo Jackson

Joe Satriani = Larry Bird

Dave Navarro = Dennis Rodman

Eric Clapton = Kurt Warner

Steve Vai = Jerry Rice

Dime Bag Darrell = Ronnie Lott

Jimi Hendrix = Michael Jordan

Jimmy Page = Tiger Woods

Yngwie Malmsteen = Usain Bolt

All the Chili Pepper’s guitarists = the Yankee’s bullpen

David Lee Roth = Bob Uecker

Michael Bolton = Dan Dierdorf

Celine Dion = Mary Lou Retton

Joe Pass = Joe Montana

John Bonham = Kimbo

Steve Stevens = Eddie Arcaro
