Someone please make a new thread named "Best Guitarists top list 2." These 11 pages are starting to scare me. I think we need to start over.
I would like to comment on Yngwie Malmsteen again. After researching him and his work and such...yeah, he sucks. Well, he doesn't suck. Just too overrated. Like Eddie Van Halen. I strongly disagree that Kirk Hammett is like either of them, though.
Whoever said that Hammett is too repetitive, I must complain. He is a bit simple...but you have to LISTEN to it. Don't concentrate on recreating it. These are the "Best Guitarists." Not the "Guitarists that YOU can't play faster/better than."
Later all,
