this is a pretty confusing topic , half of the guitarists you have on here are not metal guitarists, and is this best rythym or lead , hmmmm im really confused , rhandy rhoads wasnt even a heavy metal guitar player, so for best metal rythym guitar players would have to be
1. Dimebag
2. James Hetfeild
3. Zakk Wylde
4. Dude from Fear Factory i think his name is dino or something
and for best metal lead guitar player
1. Zakk Wylde by far one of the best guitar players in any style of music
2. Kirk Hammett
3. Dimebag
peace

Dimebag is the heaviest, Mustaine is the wildest.
In a way, Dimebag IS metal.

That guy your talking about from Nitro jack7 is the guitarist called Michael Angelo. He's ambidextrouse (I'm a horrible speller) and can play guitar with either hand equally. The whole point of that band was to put together the fastest guitar ever recorded (Micheal surpassed it on his solo work) and the wildest vocals of Jim Gellette (again i think i spelled his name wrong but I'm sure a few of you know what I'm talking about).
I started learning guitar because of Randy Rhoads..but Yngwie J. Malmsteen is my biggest influence.

Timo Tolki Rocks!!!!!!!! I love Stratovarius. Reminds me of if Yngwie went heavier (Joe stump also comes to mind).
I got into startovarius when I lived in Madrid Spain for 11 months (Also have been there 10 different times) My wife is from Madrid Spain (I'm from California).
I first saw a video with Stratovarius playing in a club called Afterdark in Madrid Spain. I was so surprised that heavy metal is so popular there. It reminded me of the 80's here in the U.S. Also another note Spanish women in Madrid are so fine. There are more good looking then bad looking. :-p

I'd have to say there was/is a LOT of talent in the death metal arena, guys like Trey Azagthoth, James Murphy and Chuck Schuldiner (RIP) also worthy of note are guys like Blasphemer of mayhem, who is a master at writing amazing songs, and warped, complex riffs. I would say that the best metal guitarist is such a hard category to judge, as there are many different styles and genres within it. Hell, mick thompson of slipknot can REALLY play, I have a CD from a guitar mag which ran a feature on him. So another thing to consider is guys (and girls!) who can really play highly technical shredder type stuff, but dont, and focus more on dynamics and the structure of the song in general
my 3 faves
1.Trey Azagthoth
2.Tony Norman
3.Eddie Van Halen

Speaking of underrated guitarists, how about Larry LaLonde; He's mostly known for his work in Primus, but have any of you heard him in Possessed? I have to give him mounds of credit for not only being able to play the stuff Possessed did, but then being able to adapt to the spaced out generally odd playing styles he uses in Primus.
Thanks! I knew that larry lalonde played in possessed, I was big fan, but I heard that the guy from primus had the same name, now I know he's the same guy!

hell yeah, I saw a video of him playing, and I've never seen anyone else with such a knowledge of the fretboard, I didnt mention him because I dont own any of his recorded work and cant really remember anything of his

How about Waylon Jennings?
Seriously in my humble opinion, as far as real metal goes, Dave Mustain or kirk Hammet. Slash is not metal, he's hard rock and bluesy type.
