Yeah, their first album has some amazing songs, especially "Immortal Bliss". Great album, I can't wait for their second album to come out. Dobles is one true virtuoso, and the reason I didn't put him on my list is that I simply forgot about him, strange as that may sound.

 

[Mr. Shred-ididle]

the solo in Kali Yuga is just...one of the best ive ever heard, that solo just did something for me.

 

[Sympozium]

Making lists like this is stupid. Its all opinion. People will NEVER agree on a list of the best guitarists, especially when there is so many different styles of music that can be played on the guitar. It's like saying who is the best football player when there is numerous codes of football (Soccer, American, Australian, etc). Pointless.

It's not a 'best-of' list, it's just a list of my favorite guitarists. The list represents my opinion. If you think that's stupid, that's okay, I just can't see the stupidity in simply making a list.

 

[The Yngster]

GAY! Stump CRUSHES ya-wing-wee, and he's a MUCH nicer guy. ....Even dresses like a rock star every day.

Lets all just hop aboard the Yngwie bashing bandwagon....
