Hey thanks for this wilco, just for interest. Good to see Santolla and Azagthoth up there. Jeff Waters at 3 is ridiculous, he's written a lot of bad albums. I think the whole Hammett and Hetfield thing shows just how impossible this list is though - both are incredible at what they do, but they're apples and oranges. I mean, how can you ever compare Randy Rhoads and Stephen O'Malley? |

That was one of the problems i had wiht the list too. It's like saying, who's a better drummer, Tomas Haake or Marco Petruzella? (sp?) Haake is the rhytmic titan of metal, yet Marco plays incredibly faster andmore intricately. but do you think Marco could ever maintain the same complex rhythm for 5 minutes straight, with minor alterations throughout? It's different styles in different settings. the only way to look at it is to find the people who are both great as rhythm AND lead guitarist in seperate instances. In that case, you COULD actually say Dave is really up there, considering that's more or less what he does on every other album, interchanging between styles with his other guitar player for who gets lead or not in which song. I still say Chuck Schuldiner should be higher. |

Cynic - I disagree. Waters is a phenomenal player. Just out of curiosity, which album(s) did you not like? (This post was last edited on August 28, 2009 at 4:04 PM ET.) |

Well his last one is the main culprit. But like most thrash bands, the general 90s output. (I admit I haven't listened to some of them right through, just a few tracks). I mean I like Alice In Hell and NeverNever Land, but to me those albums aren't enough to be #3 best metal guitarist ever. I don't know his shredding outside of those though, so maybe I was jumping the gun. Ron Jarzombek would have been no 1. if it was up to me. Muhammed Suicmez anyone? |

Cynic - "Metal" is the album you're speaking of. Well, that album has it's up's and down's (just like most of Annihilator's work right after "Never, Neverland"). The problem with "Metal" was the excessive force of collaboration with various artists. The only albums in which I thought Waters displayed no decent effort at all were "Remains" and "All For You." All of his other work is just flat out mediocre. In my opinion, both "Alice In Hell" and "Never, Neverland" contain enough shredding to make Jeff an Axe God.

One, Dave Padden sucks in my opinion, and should have never gotten in Annihilator. |

Waters is great, but I don't care for a lot of Annihilator's music. Schuldiner should be higher, and where IS Muhammed on this list?! |

ShitI completely forgot about Jarzombek, which is retarted considering how much a fan I've become of his shit lately. I wouldny say he gets no.1, but he should be somewhere close. Now Playing: Cynic- the Unknown guest (It took me a while,but I'm finally getting into this band...alot) |
