I figured I'd throw this list out there to see if anybody cared but here you go
3.Carlos Santana-He breathes legend, every note, so soulfoul and the chops of a machine. His work with Robb Thomas has an undeniable infectious melody.
2. Mark Tremonti- Over the past 5 years or so, Scott has built up his chops to insane shred like levels. Who new!
1. This one may be disagreeable
Wes Borland-He has the looks,chops and the hits to influence the next generation of upcoming guitarists like myself.

I also feel Adam Jones of tool is one the underrated shredders on the scene these days. To me- He absolutely rips

I wasn't convinced before, but now I'm fairly certain that you're indeed full of shit. Or 13 years old. Wes Borland?! You've GOT to be fucking kidding me!

I wish I knew the #1 and #2 so I could laugh at it.. and why is someone named mark referred to as scott a second later?

Wes was in Limp Bizket and I wasn't sure about Mark, but I looked him up and he was in Creed... along with Scott Stapp.

"soulfoul" hahahahaha

Do you not like carlos?

I have a feeling passerby is a troll.

After consulting Wikipedia for the definition of "troll." I agree whole-heartedly.

I took someones advice and checked out Diecast. Cool band.
Also, i don't love nickleback but chad is a real good poet and writes some kick ass tunes. My favorite line from never again
He's drunk again
It's time to fight
She must done something wrong tonight
The living room
Becomes a boxing ring
NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The boxing ring part is the best part. I can so relate

go away, you are terrible at being a troll and terribly unfunny

passerby said:

have you actually listened to nickelback? he only wrote one tune and reused it for every song.

also, fuck off.

passerby said:

did you get beaten as a child?

It doesn't matter why i relate to it. Anyway nickleback writes great songs and will sell more records than almost every band on this board. Sorry but try arguing with that. Chad Kroeger is a good dude. He was like best friends with Dime Darrell of Damageplan. Those two are probably 2 of the most underrated guitar players ever. RIP Dime Darrell

yeah, because dimebag darrel has never received any recognition as a guitar player.

You don't think Dime Darrell is good? I don't understand your point

my point is you're a idiot.

why are people responding to this clown like he's a real person? HE IS A TROLL, a fake poster.... how is this not obvious?

I am entitled to voice my opinion. Go take a long walk off a short pier troll. Passerby has spoken. I'm definately a REAL PERSON NOT A FAKE POSTER

haha suuuure you are a real person

give up troll you are fucking pathetic. just admit that you failed.

1. Kenny Hickey
2. Henny Kickey
3. Benny Hilley

Hey, I resent that.

If it was an internet troll 'd at least it'd try and sell us something right?
Give us a cookie maybe?

1. Synystyr Gates
2. Zakk Wylde
3. Alexi Laiho

passerby said:

If your just a "passerby" then why are you posting here another day?
Start a user profile, login, take your jacket off and stay awhile.
Once you enter RTTP you can never leave.
Muahahahahahahaha!!!!

I like alexi Laiho. COB rules Sinistas!

Ya! He's way radical dude!

Why don't you go to http://www.blabbermouth.net its a really rad awsome metal forum dude! Wayyyy better than RTTP!

Troll said:

You're the only cool Troll I know.

I actually despise all of the guitarists I listed, save anything pre-1919 Eternal by ZW.

I thought zakk was supposed to be real good. what's wrong with him? Why does everyone here hate everybody. I thought we were all in this together. Also i went to blabbermouth to find a forum yet it yielde dno such forum. Can someone help me out?

I can't stand Zakk Wylde's voice. He's a decent guitarist but far from great. Anyone can play 8 million squealies in one solo.

passerby said:

You read the news stories, and then you post comments about how gay the band the article's about is, or how gay the other posters are, or how gay Bush is, or how gay Europeans who hate Bush are.

Many people have to give themselves a lobotomy before they go to the second step, but you will probably be just fine.

No more forum at Blabberqueef?
Shit, guess your stuck with us.

I like this format bettter. Amidst all the people here that don't like me, there are several that engage in good forum talk and I like that alot. When it comes down to it, everyone here is my brother and passerby is everybodies friend. recommend some band i may like

ABBA

ConquerTheBaphomet said:

agreed. he is grossly overrated. yeah he can play well, but he is hardly a god.

who is a guitar god in your opinion and why

Why did any of you guys even bother replying to this thread?

Zakk Wylde is most certainly a guitar god. And if not then please define the term "Guitar God"

passerby said:

"definitely"

FuckIsMySignature said:

he plays real well...but what's so impressive about a dude who shreds the pentatonic scale and nothing else, as to make him a god?

I know the pentatonic scale. Am i a god

Not bad huh?

"Dimebag Darrell of Damageplan"......yeah........of Damageplan. That statement right there completely proves that this guy is a fucking toolbag.

So Dime wasn't in damageplan. Mothafucker fuck you!!!!!

Yes....Dime may have been in Damageplan for a period of time. But he is not Dime of Damageplan. He's fucking Dime of PANTERA! you fucking pouge.

and i dont even fucking like pantera or dimebag.

ok i completely believe that this person is not a real poster. if it is a real poster than there's no hope left for humanity and we may as well just blow up the planet right now to save time because it's going to happen anyway because of people like this.

....except i know for a fact that there are people this dumb that are still able to walk and talk so i have no hope for our future.

Victor wooten
Jaco Pastorious
Alex Webster

Top three Bassists.

Why don't you like dime?

what makes you think he only uses the pentatonic scale? you guys dont know what you're talking about.

Think Passerby is really just BlackMetalLady incognito or really a naive 15yr old kid?

....oh oh or a 40+ rockin roll late bloomer tryin' to be hip?

this guy wants to destroy the passerby ^

passerby said:

Who the hell is Scott.

James Murphy
Dimebag
Karl Sanders

surprised no one said Chuck Schuldiner?!?!

Troll said:

Who the hell is that?
I think my elementary school custodian was named chuck shoulder Yoda is cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's official

fake poster


we all lose

The real loser apparently is me but i've asked about a dozen questions that never got answers.

FuckIsMySignature said:

allow me to rephrase, then...his music is fucking boring

for me, it's "no more tears" or nothin

2 of the 3 I would vote for are technically not on the planet,and SRV is not really metal,does that count?


In no order.......



Buckethead
Randy Rhoads
Stevie ray Vaughan

Recently read that his real name is Bucketnuts....strange but true.

Sorry, We can't be friends no more

JIMMY PAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I pay attention to drummers.

Sacreligion said:



go find that farm fiddlin' song he did for when guitars rule the world album. its funny because the stuff he does on albums isnt impressive, but the stuff he does for random things like that is ridiculous and lives up to all the hype he gets.


anyway, with metal guitar players in general, there are thousands who are all wicked nasty players, but there are only a handful who have carved out a trademark sound or style and that to me is more important anyway.

understandable. he's got my respect anywho.

Karl Sanders of Nile
Jeff Loomis of Nevermore
Ihsahn of Emperor
end of story

JDDomination said:

hoorah. agreed. i would also add:

Galder of Old Man's Child/Dimmu Borgir, though he deserves 100000x more respect for his OMC work

Mikael Akerfeldt - regardless of how much people hate Opeth for whatever reason, he is still a jedi guitar master.

Justin Broadrick - though his work is not necessarily intricate, he has done shitloads of bizarre dissonant work for the last 20 years.
