Favorite death metal guitarist?

[TylerTheNuke]

I voted chuck because I find him the most tasteful.

And the matter is not about how many strings he actually plays.

And that was my original point: Why bring up the # of strings when it has nothing to do with anything?

Trey Azagthoth is king of death metal guitar. End.

Somebody's got to stand up for the black man

Terrance Hobbs!

 

[More Murder]

if Terrance Hobbs doesn't win I'll cry racism and contact the naacp.

 

[Killbot]

It was a tough choice between Azagthoth and Suicmez, but in the end Suicmez got my vote.

 

[Slayed Necros]

The two guys from Crypt of Kerberos.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Trey Azagthoth

How is Akerfeldt a Death Metal guitarist? He only did vocals in Bloodbath.

Wow.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

I would have voted for Chuck, but calling him a just a DM guitarist is like calling Hendrix just a blues guitarist. Sacrilege.
I would've voted for Trey, but he got edged out by the man: JAMES MUTHAFUKIN MURPHY.

Hands down most overrated death metal guitarist.

Hands down the most ignorant comment in this thread. Thank you.

 

[Mort Divine]

Hands down the most ignorant comment in this thread. Thank you.

Again, name a single death metal guitarist who gets fellated as much as him?

 

[Carcassian]

Ummm...this isn't a great list chaps, sorry :'(

Chuck, coined the grandfather of Death Metal is gone rip. Now a legion, and always to be remembered in that way. I'd also add to the list Rob Barret and Allen West, but the current list rocks!!

Allen West?????????????!!!!

 

[VadimVon]

All of the above guys are good, but if I were to pick one, I guess it would have to be Trey.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I love Death, I saw them live in 93 and I own most of their albums, but Chuck was far from the best guitarist in Death Metal.

What's happened with Schuldiner is what happens with all people who die: They are overpraised because everyone misses them and want to cry and feel sorry for a "fallen warrior" (LOL).

Metalheads are fucking pussies.

 

[DoctorX3]

whatever the fuck are you talking about?

It's all preparation for Denmark's great cheese festival. The pure joy of cheese rolling and eating contests, before another grim and suicide-filled Scandinavian night.


BTW, for anyone who thinks Schuldiner can't play leads or solo, just watch the Live and Raw in LA DVD. Your jaw will be dragging on the floor for about a week.

I've seen them live and I'm very familiar with his lead style, and I'll say it again - He was far from the best guitarist in Death Metal. Masvidal and Murphy were both much better lead players than him.
