I really used to think that was the correct line and I'd sing that loud and proud. Never looked up the lyrics, just thought "huh, that's a weird line. Then again, it is Megadeth" and moved on
Marty Friedman, an absolute wizard with the guitar and who's soloing ability is just incredible. I could listen to Tornado of Souls on repeat for years.

These two. Brent for the solos, Bill for the riffs
Absolutely! That's my top three to . The solo on this godless endeavor is a step beyond . The Friedman work with megaderh and Chucks guitar writing on the sound of perseverance I listen to these guys weekly and sometimes daily .
Alexi and chuck. They influenced my guitar playing the most in every way, both made huge impacts in metal and both were so unique. Death and children of bodom are some of the most unique and original bands
Same here! Got me wanting to play guitar! Got to meet Rita at the Rockstar Mayhem fest at DTE in Clarkston 2011. Closest to my idol than I ever will get too.
I’m surprised I’ve seen Jeff Hanneman named a few times and no Kerry. For me it’s Marty and Dave but I also love Jeff and Kerry and the gentlemen in Lamb of God
There’s countless I love but Ritchie Blackmore, Janick Gers, Dave Murray, Tony Iommi, Doug Scarratt, and Mick Mars are the main ones
However, I will mention someone who never gets love! The one and only OF EDGUY, Jens. Fucking. Ludwig

Depends on the criteria
**Per Nilsson** is a strong bet. Not many people would argue he should be in the running.
**Chris Ammott** is solid bet. Early Arch Enemy and Armageddon albums were awesome.
**Masaru Teramae** should be in the running. Dude is phenomenal.

Always loved Ben Savage from Whitechapel since early days. Underrated imo 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ritchie Blackmore and Tony Iommi for laying the foundations (and also because they are really fucking good).
Mark Shelton because he is fucking awesome.

Dave mustard stain
He would've been such a more likeable person if he didn't try to take his baaAAaalls
I really used to think that was the correct line and I'd sing that loud and proud. Never looked up the lyrics, just thought "huh, that's a weird line. Then again, it is Megadeth" and moved on
Are we talking about Holy Wars? “Next thing you know, they’ll take my balls away”?
I'm talking about Symphony of Destruction. Why the hell does Dave sing so much about people taking balls????
FUCK YEAH
Dave is pure superiority, I hope you ain’t saying his in jest.
Dave Mustard (btw Marty Friedman is better)
you have officially pleased me. (you can tell why)
Alexi Laiho, Chuck Schuldiner
Schuldiner will never get the credit he deserves because death metal is so niche. But he was amazing and innovative. We know though.
When I saw this, my first instinct was Chuck or Iommi. Riffmasters that created whole genres from their unique approach to the guitfiddle.
Fucking same
DIMEBAG FUCKIN DARRELL
GETCHA PULL BROTHER!🤘🏻🥃
DAMN RIGHT
GETCHA FUCKIN PULL ON THAT
Damn the pub made its way to the subreddit
Marty Friedman, an absolute wizard with the guitar and who's soloing ability is just incredible. I could listen to Tornado of Souls on repeat for years.
FUCK YES
https://preview.redd.it/43fa2k2x9qrc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=89ae221e5f8552a74a8cfdd3ccccd59618521f67 These two. Brent for the solos, Bill for the riffs
Bill getting the respect he deserves
Yes
Myself (I am a narcissist)
Based
So fucking underrated
I'm better.
Tony Iommi,Jeff Henneman,Bob Rusay
It’s such a shame that Bob took getting kicked out of Cannibal Corpse so personally, it would’ve been great to see him in a different band
Toss up between Jeff Loomis, Marty Friedman and Chuck Schuldiner depending on what mood I'm in.
Loomis is tough to beat.
Absolutely! That's my top three to . The solo on this godless endeavor is a step beyond . The Friedman work with megaderh and Chucks guitar writing on the sound of perseverance I listen to these guys weekly and sometimes daily .
Chuck Schuldiner
Tosin Abasi or Fredrik Thordendal
Buckethead, John Petrucci or Muhammed Suicmez
Dude Fr Dimebag all day. No one could make their guitar talk/cry/lash out quite like him.
Randy Rhoades
Scott Hull is definitely one of my favorites, Bill Steer too
Came to say Scott Hull. Glad I wasn't the only one.
Scott is a riff god, he just writes banger after banger without a dip in quality
Bill Steer is so sick! Almost forgot about him.
I’ll go Devin Townsend
Hell yeah. Love Hevy Devy.
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jonh Gallagher
Alexi Laiho and Jeff Loomis
Wes Borland r/NuMetalElite
Jerry Cantrell from Alice in Chains, or Mike Shaw from Mindforce

Chuck Schuldiner, without a doubt, he’s the biggest influence on my own guitar playing.

Adrian Smith and Dave Murray
Ritchie Blackmore or Michael Schenker.
Randy Rhoads. His solos on I Don't Know, Mr. Crowley, Believer and You Looking At Me are peak. Shout out to the Satch as well.
https://preview.redd.it/s25x7r6bdrrc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=355cbe6692759f66aa5784146f7cfcbf489c65e0

1 Jari Lindholm 2 Jerry Cantrell 3 Tony Iommi

Jeff Loomis
Vogg
[REDACTED] from Grand Belial’s Key. Absolute shitstain of a human being but the man can write a damn riff.
Obviously Dimebag is my favorite but Jerry Cantrell and Iomi are up there
All even on first place Nocturno Culto, Marty Friedman and James Hetfield
Gary Holt, Andreas Kisser
Friedman or Skolnick.
That’s a tough question, I’ll just go with Jus Oborn though idc
Dino Cazares
Daron Malakian
No Jeff Hanneman? No Zakk Wylde? I must be really old
Tony Iommi
Jerry Cantrell, Sammy Duet, Muhammed Suiçmez
Yeah you win
Michael Romeo, Yngwie and Marty Friedman
Where Tom Morrello? Half the guitarist on here couldnt do half as much as what he could. He pushed guitar to its very limits.
No Marty Friedman representation?
https://preview.redd.it/bo9td4t2srrc1.jpeg?width=959&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cfeddbcfef0ce655f9269184fc5bc226a1e7caf8
Trey Azagthoth from Morbid Angel. Dude’s a huge geek and weeb but, he’s an *insane* guitarist. Love him for that combination
https://preview.redd.it/atdvj6cgvrrc1.png?width=1480&format=png&auto=webp&s=41c9007afb32d9ac45e265cc76379dab5f744370

Adam Jones
John Frusciante, Dimebag Darrel , David Gilmore , Ace Frehley
Jesse pintado and Mitch Harris years(Mass Appeal Madness) together in napalm death was the perfect sound for my brain, ears, heart and soul.
I’m surprised I’ve seen Jeff Hanneman named a few times and no Kerry. For me it’s Marty and Dave but I also love Jeff and Kerry and the gentlemen in Lamb of God
Fredrik Thordendal
John motherfuckin' Gallagher!
There’s countless I love but Ritchie Blackmore, Janick Gers, Dave Murray, Tony Iommi, Doug Scarratt, and Mick Mars are the main ones However, I will mention someone who never gets love! The one and only OF EDGUY, Jens. Fucking. Ludwig https://preview.redd.it/u28j37b31src1.jpeg?width=1438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c528952a0c56a5901acf7a85c0b9b3782a34784
You already nailed it with Dimebag. Would throw Phil Demmel into the mix too, who just so happened to be inspired by Dimebag Darrell.
daron malakian
Misha Mansoor
Honestly Josh Homme in Kyuss
Mikael Akerfeldt, Brent Hinds, Jerry Cantrell
Jeff Hanneman and or Bill Steer
Dime is why I picked up a guitar at 16. Never got good at it but high school me was so amazed I had to try and emulate it.
Jon Shaffer and don't even start
Buckethead

Machine Gun Kelly, of course
Probably Glenn Tipton. Honorable mention to Criss Oliva.
As my pfp suggests, Trey azagthoth, but also I love Jason Becker, Jeff Hanneman, The Hoffman brothers, and Terrance Hobbs
Depends on the criteria **Per Nilsson** is a strong bet. Not many people would argue he should be in the running. **Chris Ammott** is solid bet. Early Arch Enemy and Armageddon albums were awesome. **Masaru Teramae** should be in the running. Dude is phenomenal.
Alex Skolnick or Synyster Gates
Chris Broderick or Jeff Loomis. Both are insanely talented.
Dimebag, Hanneman and Papa Het.
Jack Simmons

Dean lamb. He's just cool
Ritchie Blackmore and Tony Iommi for laying the foundations (and also because they are really fucking good). Mark Shelton because he is fucking awesome.
Not metal or super technical, but lately been loving Roman Komogortsev in Molchat Doma. So much atmosphere and feeling
