Best guitarist in metal

[Rich]

I'm going to go with Tommy T. Baron (Coroner)
his later solos were mind blowing. and his riffs....out of this world.

Coroner rock. Mental Vortex is a CD that everyone should own. I need to get a copy of Grin. Anyone know where?

Dimebag, and BTW what happened to Marty Friedman. I thought that dude was great. The trio from Maiden are excellent too.

 

[Whiplash402]

u guys r nuts if u think zakk wylde is up there with dimebag, adrian smith, and dave mustaine

 

[reidie]

In terms of who is the best guitarist (from a playing perspective)

John Petrucci (dream theater)
Michael Romeo (symphony x)

However, Dave mustaine isn't the best guitarist but is one hell of a song writer

 

[deathcube]

the list keeps growing in my head as i type.

but the tops are always the same

James Murphy
Alex Skolnic
Paul Masvidal and Jason Gobel (still hoping for a Cynic reunion)
and on and on and on

How about Andy LaRocque? The most underrated metal guitarist I think.

 

[timmyc]

Marty Friedman is amazing.

 

[Parviainen]

Andy is great player. King Diamond and Death Individual Thought Patterns stuff is awesome.

 

[Carcassian]

Bill Steer Or Michael Amott.

Mike Amott, Bill Steer got hit by the tardis and taken back to 1972, where he now lives full time.
