I have no idea what your on about saying they dont get credit, they get plenty in the metal guitarist community players that dont get credit are people like
- Petri Lindroos From Norther
- Kris Ranta From Norther
- Niklas Sundin From Dark Tranquility
- Karl Sanders From Nile
- Mikael Åkerfeldt
- 90% of all metal rythem guitarists
(even though im lead i think they get little credit)
Just trying to guide you away from noobish sounding threads.
I agree Jani doesnt get any where near as much credit as he should his amazing so is Sonata arctica if you get over those cheesy songs :p

Also as for Finger_cruncher, screaming metal growls and harsh voices isnt tastless its more of an aquired taste. Dont diss genres of music just because you only like the music thats put right in front on you, search a little in the world of metal music theres something for most.
