The title says it all. Who are your favorites and why...
I have several.....
"The Doctor" Marty Friedman- In my eyes he is a very underrated guitarist. Just listen to Megadeth's metal tour de force "Rust In Peace" and you will see why.
Michael Ammot- Guitarist for the awesome melodic death metal band from Sweden, Arch Enemy. Try thier new album "Rise of the Tyrant".
Dave "The Snake" Sabo- Guitarist for Skid Row. I know you probably think Skid Row is just a hair band, but you are oh so wrong. Give "Slave to the Grind" a listen.
Max Cavalera- He was the lead guitarist for the "jungle boys" (Sepultura) before he quit that band and started Soulfly. Give Arise a listen to if you like Thrash/Death metal.
Randy Rhoads- If I have to expalain why he is awesome you must live under a rock.
Chris Degarmo- Guitarist from Queensryche. Give Operation Mindcrime a listen if you haven't already. It is a metal classic.
John Petrucci- Guitarist from one of the most talented bands of all time, Dream Theater.
Adrian Smith and Dave Murray- Two of the three guitarist from Iron Maiden. These guys were on the classic albums, "Number of the Beast", "Powerslave", and "Piece of Mind".
There are many others but I don't feel like posting anymore.
