Underated Rhythm Geniuses?

[Testament Legions]

Eric Peterson, Tommy Victor, Al Jourgenson... I know I'll think of more later!

 

[Officer Nice]

Ok, yes it's predictable I'm going to add Bay Area bands
to the list. Personally, I think Death Angel, Forbidden
And Vio-lence had cool rhythm.
Old Metallica I think had good rhythm.
Vicious Rumors used to write good rhythm, but I haven't seen anything decent from them lately.

[Deadly Embrace]

How about The H-Team, EXODUS guitar's; Gary Holt & Rick Hunolt, Forbidden, Twisted Into Form's; Craig Locicero & Tim Calvert.
Vio-Lence's Eternal Nightmares; Robb Flynn & Phil Demmel.
Laaz Rockits; City Gonna Burn twin guitar attack of; Arron Jellum & Phil Kenttner. Slayer's Jeff & Kerry........Machine Heads....Burn Your eyes lineup; Robb & Logan..................I'm still thinking..........

 

[Testament Legions]

Thanks guys... knew you'd add to the impressive list.

Tho I'm a big fan of shred... RHYTHM GUITAR has a special place in my heart. I've even taken rhythm guitar lessons from Smyth!

 

[Haunted/Hated]

Best rythm guitarists in metal is probably James Hetfield and Scott Ian. The pm downpicking is insane!

 

[max]

don't forget MIKE CLARK of suicidal tendencies. that guys rocks and the sad thing is he gets no recognition. this one's for you Mr. Clark.
long live ST!!!!

 

[HUNGER OF THE UNDEAD]

Tommy Baron of CORONER. I think he was the very best guitarist to ever play metal BY FAR.
He and Coroner were and still are so underrated, its sad.
If anyone here doesnt own "Punishment For Decadence"
"No More Color" and "Mental Vortex" then you are missing out on 3 absolutely amazing, brilliant metal records.
Their live shows were incredible.
In fact of all the tons of metal shows Ive been to, all 3 of their tours stand out among the most memorable shows Ive ever seen.

 

[SoulVomitor]

Rich Ward of Stuck Mojo shreds some serious shit!!

 

[TrueBeliever]

The guy from Imagika, I love the intro riffing on Fallen one. Also the guy from Soul Embraced is good.

 

[Valofvalhalla]

Malcom Young (AC/DC) and Scott Ian (Anthrax) James Hetfield (Metallica)

 

[coronerox]

Rock on HUNGER OF THE UNDEAD

I agree

 

[Testament Legions]

Jeez, yes... can't forget TOMMY T. BARON, who is a shredder as well!

 

[MindInsane]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.....ERIC IS THE RIFFMASTER

 

[Deadly Embrace]

Well the Riff Master better get to practice on time.......LOL.........

 

[MindInsane]

 

[DEVIANCE]

Mike Wead
Herb Simonsen
Jeff Hanneman

 

[davo]

Dave Mustaine belongs on that list.

You are so very correct! Vetterli/Baron is a real genius when it comes to guitarplaying and composing.

I'd also like to add Jim Durkin, Eric Meyer and Denis D'Amour to the mix.
