Yeah, I did say that. But I also said (I think) that I'm no authority.

Kerry King is amazing. My personal favorite is Marten Hagstrom from Meshuggah, but I don't know about the popularity of Meshuggah on these boards.

Kirk Hammet and John Petrucci. Oh yeah.

Ill give Friedman and Becker much respect, but Mustaine and Poland. Come on, their riffing was sloppy and their solos all sounded the same. As for Malmsteen and Vai, their guitar work is more like masturbation. They set up all their songs around a solo, throwing rhythm completely out the window. And metal should be about riffing, not running down scales at blinding speeds.

I know Meshuggah, but I hate them. They're vocalist ruins everything.

PS- Marty Friedman looks like he's about to swallow a dick in that picture.

I agree....It's another example of good music with a singer that ruins it.
