under rated guitar players

Dave Prichard was when he was alive

I actually think Varg Vikernes is highly underrated as a guitar player. Even without great complexity there's always something special in his guitars. Of course he doesn't play live, so maybe he's not as good live as he is in the studio.

On another note: Matt Wilcock, ex-Akercocke, is a mean fucking guitarist. His technique and chops live are seriously good.

The Green Day guitarist (Billy Joe Armstrong, I think?) can apparently shred pretty good but I've never heard or seen it - might just be a rumour.

Ralph Santolla (Obituary, Death, Deicide, Iced Earth, etc).

It's possible he can do some metal soloing without sweating his eyebrows off. He started off in a metal covers band.

I hate that dude.

 

[Bitencourt29]

I hate that dude.

Really? Why? His live performance last year was amazing (with Obituary) and most albums he recorded, with different bands, have great guitar work imo.

 

[The Ozzman]

The Greys only knows how to troll. Just ignore him.

 

[CF87]

Anyone who thinks Ralph Santolla layering power metal solos over some crappy worn out/washed out death metal bands is good sucks at listening too Death Metal.

 

[CF87]

Add the fact that Deicide and Obituary blow nuts.

 

[The Ozzman]

Not as much as Sentenced, amirite?!

It's not, it's an opinion; learn to discern between them please.

:Spam:
Lol.. 'sucks at listening to death metal'
That must of actually taken some thought to come up with something like that.

 

[CF87]

Yeah, I did not use the word 'fact' as am a scientist. If you think I am a scientist that's cool.

yes i know. the point of that comment was that it wasn't actually a fact.
it was my rather bad attempt at being a smart ass.

Thanks to the interchanger of discern, I'm still finding it hard to use that term.
