Some guitarists sometimes express the best guitar expressions while playing,some have no expression.
That post on Gary Moore's reminded me of that.
Figuring out the best 5 or 10 just for fun. Here's a few just off the top of my head;
Santana-especially Woodstock performance
Joe Bonamasso-always entertaining
Duane-often seemed to have something going on
Angus Young
Gary Moore
BB King
Joe Satriani
John Meyer
Hendrix
and Jimmy Page,remember well
Warren Haynes........ 
Robin Trower !!!
Neal Schon
Definitely Jimmy Page...drool and all!
SRV
Gary making the wildest faces especially about 2/3rds in.
And that Les Paul is screaming. And killer tone!
SRV
X 2 on SRV
I like the look of total concentration that Derek Truck's has also.
Uh Oh....Caught you smiling Mr Blackmore!!!
Everyone has a plan, till you get punched in the face,
Steve Harris is always into it!!

One of the best or the best...Angus!!!

Probably one of the best ROCK performing faces would be Moon

jszfunk. Did you watch the Gary Moore video I linked above? About two thirds in Gary's facial expressions go crazy. It's funny to me. But the way he makes that Les Paul SCREAM and the tone and flashes of speed makes it one of the absolute best Les Paul performances I've seen ever!
I still chuckle when I see the video of Gary Moore with Albert King. Classic guitar faces for sure.
“Keith Moon, Exploding Drummer” - cool photo alright - yep, Keith - it’s like his face is spazzing out on clips of their Monterey Pop set
Always enjoy Carlos’ expressions during the Woodstock Soul Sacrifice that was mentioned

Yeah...I have seen that before. Gary has some great guitar faces!!

Alvin Lee ....Woodstock 69’
haha that Gary Moore ones really extreme 3/4 of the way in. Looks like the bass guys trying to pretend he's not there
Yes bettyhynes about 2/3rds in on the video I linked a few posts above, the faces Gary Moore makes are a hoot. I laugh everytime I watch it.
Probably my favorite guitar solo played on a Les Paul is the second solo on Liz Reed on Fillmore East
It's Duane Allman of course and the energy is second to none.. But that Les Paul solo by Gary Moore I linked above is just amazing if you focus on the guitar rather than his face. The power, intensity and flashes of speed are just incredible. Eddie Van Halen would have felt intimidated to play a solo after that on any make of guitar. Absolutely stellar, powerful Les Paul playing by Gary Moore. Gary's Paul is screaming hot!!! Certainly one of the absolute best rock players we have had.
and the winner of Best guitar face has to go to 9 year old-Taj Farrent. This kid is amazing!! Don't know how to put up a video of him but he's an amazing talent to watch even for an adult guitar player. He seems to have a face for every note he plays. I saw his Tennessee Whiskey rendition but I'm sure there's a lot more on Youtube of this Aussie kid.
