Favorite death metal guitarist?

[Stormwatch]

I would vote VadimVon but he's not on the list. His stuff is good though, all kidding aside.

Michael Amott is absent, so I picked Akerfeldt.

Yeah, why is Amott missing and Akerfeldt even on the list?

 

[Hatebreeder]

Name ONE death metal guitarist that people jerk off over more for than Chuck.

Mikael Åkerfeldt, apparently. Not on this poll, but elsewhere.

 

[borninblood]

From that list, Chuck.

 

[immo]

The guy from Asphyx. Eric Daniels.

 

[Mort Divine]

Mikael Åkerfeldt, apparently. Not on this poll, but elsewhere.

He isn't a death metal guitarist though.

 

[Hatebreeder]

He isn't a death metal guitarist though.

I know, and it makes me kind of sad that he is in second place.

I have to admit I do love Akerfeldts playing - perhaps people are ignoring the fact he doesn't really play death metal and voting on his tasteful playing.

opeth sucks, cut that shit out!

Mikael Åkerfeldt, apparently. Not on this poll, but elsewhere.

[VadimVon]

i dunno man i like gouda and åseda gräddost myself though i will acknowledge that åseda gräddost's contribution to global cheese culture is marginal at best

Fredrik Thordendal would be one of the best ones personally for me (especially considering that he plays 8 strings). Also I like Barry Thompson A lot.

Well, I can get a 12-string guitar and pretend i'm good by hitting random strings. Will that make me better than this guy?

Let's face it: "Human" is the only great Cynic...er..I mean Death album. Schuldiner was a very good guitarist. But he was constantly overshadowed by superior guitarists on his own albums, let alone other death metal guitarists.

From that list, Azagthoth is the clear winner.

By the way, where are the Gorguts guitarists?

No. Because the point is that he doesn't pretend. And the matter is not about how many strings he actually plays. But he has great brains for the all that math stuff he puts in his music, and how it actually sounds.

 

[Alex78]

is that Mr. Kidman in your av?

Yepp

 

[AgoliantLives]

opeth sucks, cut that shit out!

 

[Guthrum]

Why can't you see that I try
When every tear I shed
Is for you?

Pogrom isn't on that list.

 

[R.I.P.2]

I agree as far as the solos on Death albums go, which is why I'm pretty confused why Schuldiner is winning so easily and why Akerfeldt is on the fucking list in the first place.

By the way, DANIEL MONGRAIN.

I agree, at least that's why I voted for him. That and fucking AMOTT ISN'T ON THE DAMN POLL!!!
