Dude, you'd chose Mustane over King for thrash? I dunno man...

 

[Djm]

Arjen Lucassen, just cause Ayreon is really what made me like music again. I don't really care for picking out certain musicians except for singers.

 

[genocide roach]

Dude, you'd chose Mustane over King for thrash? I dunno man...

Sorry if i'm gonna revive this thread, i wanted to make a new one but i search for a similar thread and i thought i'll just post. I just want to ask something...

My friend told me last Saturday that the guitarist of Children of Bodom, Alexi (correct me if i'm mistaken), is the future guitar legend of the world. He said that someone told him that and he wants to check out some Bodom albums. I have COB albums (mp3) except for the new EP and the live one. Yes i can say Alexi is good, but legend? I think there are many guitarist out there that is better than him. The guitarist from Exodus is really great. Another one is the guy from Cryptopsy. So i want to prove him wrong, opinions anyone?
