The Coming Curse(very intricate and inventive main riff)
Desert Rain
Melancholy(Holy Martyr)
Watching Over Me(to get an idea on how well he balances crushing tone with quiet acoustic chords)
Dante's Inferno(very technical, very difficult song to play, 16 minutes long with lots of rhythm changes and technical riffs)
and of course Demons and Wizards- Fiddler on the Green(masterpiece) and Dorian(great riffs in this one).

And James is also a factory of good riffs. Just give him the guitar.

I don't really know. Maybe Ralph Santolla or Max Cavalera.

I think James hetfield and Mikael akerfeldt are very good, but my favorit has to be Joe Duplantier from Gojira. He has one of the moast exciting playing styles i've heard. every aspect of metal rythm playing. Groove, brutality, technical, simple and catchy, fast, slow, diversity, originality... so on and so on. And on top of that he sings while doing it. just like the two others i mentioned

Tony Iommi!! I'm surprised no one mentioned him. He pretty much was one of the creators of metal. I love Mustaine's riffs too.

As pure rhythm guitarists, it's a toss up between James Hetfield and Scott Ian for me, because IMO their rhythm playing outdoes the lead playing of their respective lead guitarists (Hammett and Spitz), they're also the most talented artists within their bands.

Written by vezzy on 07.08.2010 at 19:46 Max Cavalera is a notoriously mediocre guitarist, and I've yet to hear him churn out songs that are as diverse or even remotely as technical and interesting as what Mustaine, Schaffer or Hetfield have done in this respect. To be honest I can't really decide between Hetfield and Schaffer at this point. Schaffer is absolutely epic with his incredible precision and technique. However Hetfield also does lead vocals and Schaffer, whatever he might say, was influenced a lot by Jaimz.

Written by blacktooth85 on 03.04.2011 at 23:30 You beat me to it, he was the first thing that came to my mind actually. I love his ability to play rhythm and then switch to lead seamlessly and go back and forth between them.
