Metal- John Lowery (formerly of Marilyn Manson). He has also played with David Lee Roth and Les Paul (the man, not just his guitars) and just recently released a solo album entitled "Vertigo".

Death- Jean-Claude Van Damme. Yes, the greatest white martial artist plays guitar. He uses a Buddha amp, just for reference. I don't think he plays metal, but no other guitarist is as badass as he is so I think he earns the 'Death' category award.

Rock- Rhoads

Alt Rock- Petrucci

Attitude/Drinking award- Yngwie

Most impressive guitarist to watch- Batio
