The thing about Dave that impresses me is that he can sing anything over any guitar riff, that takes some fucking talent!

SeriouslyAs far as riffing in the traditional sense goes, I vote Jeff Loomis!
Damnit, you're not allowed too! Bastard! I knew someone would try and vote for someone else! LOL!

yes and Dave Lombardo is an awesome drummer ...
oh wait, that has NOTHING to do with what the two options were

I'm with ya buddy!
a few tunes here and there, other than that ... whatever
Just thought I should have had more in there like Scott Ian, Jon Schaffer, Eric Peterson, etc. Ah well............it's just something that came to mind while rocking out to some Exodus.
And Jesper/Bjorn
Damnit! I should have called it "Which Thrash Guitarist would win in a riffing competition?".

I would say today JON from Iced, has the fastest riff hand in the land. That's not my opinion either. That's a fucking FACT. I dare anyone to find a better triplet assassin.
But from these to jadrools I vote Het.

but when you say "riffing" what are you talking about mainly? Are you talking about writing memorable riffs that automatically becomes a signature style and sound for the guitarist or are you talking about who can play some seriously crazy stuff?
I mean, Jon Schaffer is good and has written some cool stuff but he's not awesome really. There is nothing that he does that I can't play pretty easy ... and I'm not trying to sound like I'm great or anything I swear, just saying that once you get the hang of fast repeating rhythm patterns its pretty much dick easy to play ... just gotta keep the endurance up
Scott Ian is a great choice ... but again, talking about memorable riffs. Holt has always been a favorite player of mine and has written some amazing riffs but nothing on scale with what Hetfield has done in that regard ... my opinion

I'm more talking as far as being tight as a motherfucker..........and not just in the studio, I'm talking live as well.

. just gotta keep the endurance up
Isn't that the whole point of the thread?
Is it memorable, or just insane endurance????
Of course if it's memorable riffs Schaeffer is definitely not the best haha.
But his speed and stamina is unrivaled.
