You should have put an other option on there. I personally dislike Steve Vai, as he uses the same lick in EVERY BLOODY SONG and quite frankly its getting annoying. Also, He always has to be technical! Come on! Music is about feeling, not about how far you can bend a note or how many pinch harmonics you can do in a second. My personal vote (out of these) goes to Petrucci, just because i like some of the ideas he incorporates. My faves would be Kelly Shaefer Chris Baker from atheist, again because of the awesome ideas and rythms they put into their songs.

I'd go for Yngwie Malmsteen, but if Buckethead was on the list I would vote for him.

Written by whatsacow on 28.07.2010 at 04:10 Yeah technical musicians must go to hell, they are so arrogant. And they use licks, a lot of licks, who uses licks? only stupids use licks over and over... tell this to Joe Pass Written by akvan on 06.09.2010 at 22:48 I am with you, this poll is unfair, where is Michael Angelo Batio? hahahaha Naah I think I like Vai a little bit, a couple of songs, but I can not say wich one is the better, this time is serious, why no Chuck Schuldiner?

On the list, MAlmsteen. Off it Broderick, he easily surprasses Becker too.

Written by [user id=111774] on 14.05.2011 at 05:33 Technical skill, I don't comment on songwriting that way because it's subjective. I prefer Chris' songs with Jag Panzer more than anything Jason ever did, but that's just an opinion, I know more than a couple that like Jason's writing better.

I don't have a favorite guitarist as I'm a drummer, but I think this topic is kinda silly. The topic creator should put the "other" option as the guitarists he included aren't considered the best widely.

(Other) Dimebag Darrell. He may not be a musical virtuoso like others listed but the OP asks for best METAL guitarist. That is clearly Dimebag, in my view.

Written by Warman on 29.09.2006 at 18:53 Laughing my ass off. From '06, so probably one of my first posts ever considering it took some time before I started posting in the forum. I mean... seriously, there's John Petrucci on the list and I'm like one of the most narrow-minded Dream Theater fanboys here.  Nothing against Friedman, but today I probably wouldn't even put him on my top 20 list.

Written by Warman on 23.07.2012 at 22:26 Friedman runs rings around Petrucci both technically and songwriting wise and also when it comes to versatality

Written by Warman on 23.07.2012 at 22:33 Nope, but personally I rate Jason Becker even higher.
