Favourite Metal Guitarist?

Dimebag

Legends are lost, but never forgotten :rockon:

 

Dave Mustaine

 

Jimmy Page
Jimi Hendrix
Dave Murray
Tommy Iommy
Angus Young
Dave Mustaine

 

always slash

 

John Scofield.. oh wait he doesn't play metal... but if he did

 

Right now I'd go with Jari Mäenpää of Wintersun (formerly of Ensiferum).

 

Nocturno Culto
Varg Vikernes
Snorre Ruch
Devin Townsend

 

Kirk Hammett
Dimebag Darrell
Zakk Wylde
Tommy Iommi
Ben Wells
K.K. Downing & Glenn Tipton
Randy Rhodes
John Pettrucci

I also appreciate & love a whole lot of other guitarists, but I dont think they can be placed in the metal genre

Slash
Joe Perry
David Gilmour (Comfortably numb is one of the best guitar masterpieces I have ever heard)
Mike McCready (I never thought much of him but then I heard Pearl Jams rendition of "Little Wing" & was totally blown away....Its a fucking classic)
Joe Satriani
Yngwie Malmsteen
I also heard some Indian Metal Bands with some really skilled guitarists, but I dont know their names. The band names are - Zero (hear PSP12), Pentagram (their old stuff before they sold out) & Pin Drop Violence (I think you guys would appreciate them more than I do.....Hear them)

 

Marty Friedman
Glen Drover
Kirk Hammett
Tony Iomi (especially after seeing Heaven and Hell live)
Buckethead
Dave Mustaine
Jim Root
Zakk Wylde
ADAM JONES

Marc Rizzo, guitarist of Ill Niño. Ill Niño sucks monkeyballs, but Marc's solo project kicks ass. He combines metal with flamenco.

Willie Adler and Mark Morton from Lamb of God cause im a sucker for a fat riff, Rob Flyn for the same reason and Alexi Laiho allthough he does piss me off at times with his "widdling"

 

Adam Jones
Joe Satriani
Tom Morello

 

Karl Sanders (Nile) and Muhammed Suiçmez (Necrophagest) are pitted pretty close in my books...

 

Mikael Akerfeldt
Adam Jones

 

Very nice selection, i would only add Jimmy Page and Billy Howerdel.

 

Marc Rizzo
Kerry King / Jeff Hanneman

 

Muhammed Suiçmez is absolutely terrifying, but I'd have to say André Olbrich of Blind Guardian is my favorite just for his ridiculousness and absurdity

 

deffinetly Dave Mustaine saw them a month ago and a small venue i provedence OMG so good.

 

The only guitarist i dont like is Dimebag... he gets more credit than he deserves.
