Page is a top 5 as far as presence goes....

for the heck of it, my take on Stage Presence

Hendrix
Townshend
Blackmore
Page
Steve Vai/Malmsteen

have never seen Duane live so cant comment if he had it....

Another guy who lit up the stage for me was Rory Gallagher. I only ever saw him in small venues, probably 500-800 size. But it always felt like it was one of your mates on stage in front of you. No pretension, just a battered strat, a denim cut-off and hard, sweaty bouncing blues rock and roll.

I've never seen Duane either, but I think he's just one of those guys that stands there and plays for the most part.

i can believe that ... ive heard some tunes from him , and seen him a couple times, he seems great....

Gary Moore during the 80s was also pretty awesome ....

Slash?

for stage presence..... beneath them fo sho ... Van Halens also there, Angus Young ..... etc... around the same place ....

Slash basically pulls of a Page personal, just adds the hat on top ...

Gilmour has great stage presence?
Taro is priceless.

Anyway, how I see it...

1. Hendrix
2. Blackmore
3. Townshend
4. Page
5. Frehley

Angus is easily top 5 as for stage presence.

Brian May has quite a presence. Yes, I know he's no top 5 and he just stands while playing most of the time. But there's just something so cool and classy in his stance that makes you watch him.

I agree with you, stage presence is not just jumping around the stage like a crazy but there is the charisma component to be considered as well and May have alot of it.
Btw check him during the Queen + PR tours or even better his BM band shows, he really did anything like singing, playing, running all over the stage and having a great time with the audience.

He has presence, just not on the same level as those top 5.

I don't agree mainly to the fact Ace and Page are in that top 5; I also think Angus is a serious candidate for the top 5.

I think Hendrix is clearly #1 in stage presence.
Clash, I love Townshend but I'd place him #2 in this area. Jimi was just something else...

You had Townshend at #3. Pete's had over four decades of having an extraordinarily powerful stage presence. And his peaks as a live performer are towering. He's the only choice for #1 in that criterion. Hendrix was pretty tapped out by '69/'70, and his peak as a live performer is no more impressive than Pete's.
