In the mid to late 70’s, local bar band Talas with Billy Sheehan, he was just incredible to watch and still is to this day.
Are you from Buffalo?  I had a couple of their records back in the day, but was too young to have caught them when they played fairly regularly in my area (Popeye’s was the place, IIRC).

Yes I am, I had some fake ID and in those days, they barely cared to check. I was 17 in 1975 and would catch them routinely at the Barrelhead in W.S., but there were soooo many places that they played. At that time (this was pre Van Halen, nationally), there wasn’t anyone that played like this anywhere.
I saw RTF with Stanley Clark and Weather Report with Jaco. Both of whom are in a completely different league in terms of technical ability, but Sheehan was no slouch and his style was incredible. I feel fortunate that I got to watch him as often as I did.

That's not a great pic of Slash, but he was certainly top 5 coolest ever on a guitar.

Start at 4 minutes.

Certainly the greatest nice guy in rock, at the peak of the Stones success in 1970s an obscure music reporter met Keith at the Miami airport and expected to be ignored, to his surprise Keith replied as if he were an old friend:
-Iam going to Swiss to get my blood changed...

For me, coolness comes from skill, chops, ability to communicate, emotional content, unique voice and language. Not from wearing the right clothes, or hitting the right pose.

Two quick examples:

Allan Holdsworth




John McLaughlin
