Alex at 36!

[awip2062]

Did anyone else see the March Guitar World magazine? It had the 100 Greatest Metal Guitrists in it. Alex came out at #36.

Dweeb, Tony Iommi came out as #1! *razz*

Here are the top twenty:

Iommi
Hammet and Hetfield
Angus & Malcolm Young
Randy Rhoads (yay! Randy beat out Eddie!)
Eddie Van Halen
Jimmy Page
Dimebag Darrell
Zakk Wylde
Adam Jones
Kerry King & Jeff Hanneman
Dave Murray & Adrian Smith
Jimi Hendrix
Glenn Tipton & Kevin Kenneth Downing (proud of this, PV? )
Ace Frehley & Paul Stanley
Slash
Ritchie Blackmore
Yngwie Malmsteen
Joe Perry & Brad Whitford
Dave Mustaine & Marty Friedman
Chuck Schuldiner

They had good things to say about Alex; it was nice to read!

Hammet kicks all their asses!

Anyways, that's not a bad spot for him on that poll. Those things are so touch and go, the guys from Korn got something like #40!

[awip2062]

Hammet does what?!?!?!?

sigh

Son, you need to listen to more Sabbath. I mean, Hammet, yes, he is cool, he rocks, but Tony, Page,.... oh, man! So many of those guys are just amazing! And, Hammet would tell you that many of those guys influenced him.

[*Lifesonite]

I rolled my eyes, I'm not a big Hammet fan.

[awip2062]

Alright, but you still need to listen to more Sabbath!

But don't go dissin' Hamet, either, unless you can beat him in a guitar dual! The man is talented. I wouldn't put him in #2, but he is quite good.

[*Lifesonite]

I typically don't go around dissing famous musicians, I just don't like those polls! He is good though

Man where is John Petrucci from Dream Theater?

He has some chops now..

[Sir Myghin]

i honestly can't see the fuss over dream theatre the music has no soul , it sounds so mundane and manufactured

[The Necromancer]

But the members of Dream Theatre ARE notorious Rush fans... Mike Portnoy wrote a bit for the japanese release of Vapor Trails.

But I agree both ways: Petrucci has chops, but no flair. I always thought Eddie Van Halen sounded like that too.

Good to see the Young Bros. placed 3rd (As opposed to the #96 that Rolling stone gave Angus!)

Also good to see that Iommi is getting some well-deserved recognition...

However, I have to root for Page, as I am a pretty big Zeppelin fan.

And who is Adam Jones?

And where was Steve Vai?

And out of curiosity, what did they have to say about Alex?

WOO! Plaster Caster!
