Some great choices, I like the footage. I would have put Randy Rhoads in there. His riffs and solos are what makes the two Ozzy albums so iconic. Harry Cody would have been added. He actually played glam metal, heavy metal, and industrial metal masterfully. The Explorer is tough to beat for me. Nice that you had Cross Oliva on there, he shreds on those albums. Been listening to a lot of early Savatage lately.

Ommissions: Michael Schenker. Not only is Schenker a major influence for most of your top ten, half the metal guys in the world play a Flying V because of him (Dave Mustaine readily admits that Michael Schenker is why he plays a Flying V. You also should have added the rest of the Scorpions guitarists, but you seem to be looking for a more thrash approach. But, Rudolf Schenker and Uli Jon Roth should be in any top ten and Matthias Jabs should be close.

Fuckin killer dude. I love your list excepting one it two picks. I love how you include some less known (Olivia) but no less amazing artists and even unknown (the fourth pick) at least to me. The only point I'd disagree with you on is Yngwie. Although he is a phenomenal guitarist , his technical mastery of the instrument is probably unmatched , he doesn't have the attributes the rest of these guys do. I mean the others have albums of anthemic riffs under there belts. Most were an integral part of iconic metal bands. They wrote or helped write some of metals most important songs. They are , for the most part , heavy metal heroes. Even though Yngwie is a guitar legend and a god of technical know how I highly doubt he'd be included in most fans picks for greatest metal guitarists. That aside , nice job.

Criss Oliva is a great shout. His solo on 'Ghost in the Ruins' might be my favourite of all time (if it wasn't for 'Comfortably Numb', no-one beats Gilmour).

You think about it, it’s amazing how these guys make the guitar come alive. I tinker on the guitar. These guys are sooooooo outrageously good. I hear Malmsteen has his chops back on his new record.

One that everybody forgets about is Steve Price from Thor. Listen to Rock the City Live in detroit. The man was a metal guitar genius. As Thor never made the big time and he has be forgotten about but would definitely be in my top 10

Hello, Bryce , Great list you have a good head on your shoulders you are a blessing buddy:) I always wanted to hear Cant Wait On Love live with Warren. Shredding thru the whole song. Saw Ratt play entire out of the cellar album years ago . Saw george Lynch at a guitar clinic in mansfield Ohio years ago! Megadeth is my favorite band .along with Ratt Tesla. Whitecrosss has Rex Carroll on guitar :) God bless you buddy and savior JESUS keep you safe always :)))

No, Dime was good and it was a tragedy that he was murdered here in Columbus, but Dave is not only fast, but innovative. When Marty was in Megadeth, their guitar duo was right up with Adrian Smith and Dave Murray.
