The satch:

Not the most technical song or anything, but I love it nonetheless.

+1 for Rory. I'd also like to add Buckethead.

Didn't see mention of Nuno Bettencourt or Randy Rhodes either...

Did anyone list Zakk Wylde? Hmmmm?

I'm sure players like Satch and Vai spring to mind when discussing axe-gods but you need to look at the ever brilliant May, Rhodes, Wylde, for these are the guys who were doing it way back when (Wylde less so) and offered inspiration to so many who followed.

I can't believe I'm the first to mention Eric Johnson.

Also, the hugely under appreciated, John 5.

he is? but he sounds like a cork man (change all these to past tence if you want, im not going to) acts like a cork man, and he has a pub names after him in cork-with "pride of cork" written beside it!

James Hetfield

All good, all good....

But the one that sends shivers up my spine is Stevie Ray. What a genius the world lost 18 years ago.

Why though?

James Hetfield, aswell as being the far more accmomplished songwriter, is also an excellent slow lead guitarist. His solos on "Master Of Puppets" and "Nothing Else Matters" are perfectly crafted, whereas many of Kirk's solos are mere clichéd repeating blues rock licks. To his credit, Hammett has wrote some classy licks in his time, but all in all I think Hetfield is the more musical player.
