Gibson Guitar's Top 10 Metal Guitarists of All Time

[HeavyMetalMan]

KK Downing should definately be on that list! Ritchie Blackmore? Avenged Sevenfold's Synyster Gates?

 

[Scotty Baboon]

I just don't think that they should have ranked guys in the same band together. As far as the list goes, I don't play guitar so I think that excludes me from having a say.

^^Why should not playing guitar disqualify you from having an opinion SB?

I don't play any instrument but doesn't stop me from appreciating the artistry and soul in those musicians/bands I love.

 

[Riff Raff]

Agreed with LG you don't have to be a musician to have an opinion on a piece of music.
The more opinions the better.

 

[Scotty Baboon]

Since I don't play, I don't know who is actually better. I mean, if I played then I would know all the little odds and ends and be able to make what I would call a vaild decision.

^^You are overcomplicating it, it's a simple who do you like as much as any technical expertise.

 

[Khor1255]

That's right. Some of my favorite players aren't the best even in the style they play. I is a matter of opinion. I can apreciate who is technically better (as far as my limited knowledge allows me) but still not like him as much as someone like Angus Young or Wolf Hoffman.

Kirk over Randy Rhoads??

I also put one of the Priest guitarrists, either KK or Glenn and Marty Friedman.

People in the comments saying the list should have Angus Young in there. No way, Angus is not a metal guitar player.
Another one of those lists fun to debate over.

And David Gilmour too!
