Where’s Hanger 18? Can’t have a shred list that misses out Mustaine and Friedman!
is it just me or are MH flogging a dead horse with the whole “now thats what I call *insert random title here*” thing, I know theres not major changes in metal everyday to report but for godsake this is like the 20th version theyve done.
You’re going to have pissed off a lot of dragonforce fanboys by calling him Herman Lee, rather than Li. Feel free to change it and not publish this post like last time haha
Only people I wouldve added to that list is either Alex Lee from Bonded By Blood, Michael Romeo from Symphony X or Rusty Cooley from Outworld, good set of guys there though!
Unearth should be there, not replacing anyone already there, but man, theycan fuckin’ shred
nice list! me likey!
heres a few of my own choices along with the dudes up there already:
Eugenes Trick Bag – Steve Vai
Shortest Straw – Metallica (Kirk Hammet)
Seasons in the Abyys – Slayer (Jeff Hannman)
Satch Boogie – Joe Satriani
Cliffs of Dover – Eric Johnson
Inferno (unleash the fire) – Symphony X (Michael Romeo)
Kirisute Gomen – Trivium (Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu)
2X Again – Mike Batio
Mr Scary – Dokken (George Lynch)
Nile – Unas Slayer of The Gods – Karl Sanders)
(i agree with the Hanger 18 comment too
a better choice of Dream Theater shred would have been In The Name of God….that solo is face meltingly shredtastic.
Children of Bodom should have been Kissing The Shadows.
I agree with Jon abuot Unearth. Likewise, All That Remains have some pretty killer solos
There should also be some death metal on here. Like Stabwound by Necrophagist. Maybe a bit of Deicide or Cannibal Corpse…because those guys can shred.
Wheres Anal Cunt?
They should be included in every list!
Suicidal Tendencies – You Can’t Bring Me Down!!!!
Tornado Of Souls – Megadeth (Mustaine/THE Friedman solo!)
The best guitar solo ever. Or near as damn it!
I think alex skolnick and gary holt need to be included!
