Top 10 Metal guitarist ever

[Satanstoenail]

Dave Mustaine And Chuck Schuldiner are both really fucking average lead players. Dave just shreds mindless pentatonic blues scales and Chuck, while being able to construct a solo at least, it shit technically and used that godawful chorus effect on all his solos. Both are/were great riff writers though.

This thread also needs more Tommy Vetterli.

What the fuck? Listen to his solos on the Sound of Perseverance.

Why do people still make threads like this? Who gives a shit who your top 10 favorite guitarists are?

I also like James Murphy, Alex Skolnick and Jim Matheos; all of them excellent guitar players and composers.

From a songwriter standpoint, I would include:

Samoth
Infernus
Oystein Brun
John McEntee
Pogrom
Rob Vigna
