Frederidk Thornendal


Guitarist from Meshuggah. Download the song "War", that's some good shit.

EDIT
The John Mayer thing was a joke, I couldn't think of 5. But I know 4 great ones, so 4 is enough.

AHHHH, Meshuggah. Ok. They're actually one of my favorite bands, at least from a technical standpoint. However, I would still have to say that Joe Satriani is faster (not by much, but he is), but his style pales in comparison with that of Frederick Thornendal.

Ok, let's get some real guitarists listed in here.

Dimebag Darrell
Joe Satriani (HE is the fastest, period)
Yngie Malmsteem
John Petrucci (Dream Theater, one of the most technical guitarists ever)
Kirk Hammett

Thank you Ege, i was wondering when someone would aknowledge the Great Kirk Hammet. By far my favorite, i wont argue with anyone how he ranks against the rest of the wiorld, but he gets my vote as a great.

Zack Wylde, Definately.
I love Slash
James Hetfield.
John Frusciante (Mother's Milk, Blood Sugar Sex MAgic, i hate all of their stuff after that)

I think people are voting on particuliar styles that they like, and thats alright. You can't argue that Joe Satriani or Steve Vai are not great guitar players.They both smoke, pick up one of the G3 DVD's and you will be blown away.But I think a little of their style goes a long way.So when I'm putting on a CD its most likely gonna be one of these fellows [ You also have to figure in the age differance, I am probabaly a good 15yrs or more older than most of you ]

Duane Allman
Zack Wylde
Tony Iommi
Clapton
Hendrix

and I gotta add one more who is tops on my list at the moment.

Warren Haynes

[Elmagnifico]

i herd him bout 4 maybe 5 times but i reckon the darkness justin hawkins would be cool if he went solo






Kurt Cobain hands down best guitarist ever onli problem is that hes ded

I love Slayer, but I hate Kerry King. I never liked his solos. He's like a second (more like third) rate Zakk Wylde.

I was reading a magazine where he ripped on Dave Mustaine and then started talking about how cool it was to hang out with Sum 41. Dave Mustaine is far better than Kerry King could ever be.

I'm going to switch out SRV with Randy Rhoads.

The Nuge kicks ass. Stranglehold is a masterpiece.
