Hm. Then I still prefer Victor Smolski . That DT guitarist is not exactly what I like.

Iommi 1, Hendrix 12 and Malmsteen 17 ?? WTF Vai only 53 I think WTF again.

Hendrix was good for someone playing on LSD and Iommi for someone playing on cocaine, but Vai and Malmsteen are way better

I think Iommi's legacy to metal is greater than what Vai and Malmsteen can do in 100 years. (in my humble opinion )

It was made not to show who is cooler, faster or grater guitarplayer, but to pay a tribute to all this guitarplayers.

Yeah, and it is shit. From the Metallica guys (very mediocre guitar players) down to half or more of the list. Random quoting of big names, completely lacking any originality.

Better say lightyears.

For me the list is brilliant, I have to print it out and use it for toiletpaper.

Many names missing and others much to high up!!!

Well, I really think Steve Vai is an Astounding instrumentalist and composer.... but he has not been a real influence in metal guitar playing.... Iommi is the foundation on lots of metal stuff until now...

I hate Yngwie's music and influence in metal in recent years (all powermetal neoclassical shreders *yuck*)

I think they are missing some important and influential names like Trey Azagthot from the mighty Morbid Angel.... I would also put Justin Broadrick (over their influence on the scene alone)
As mono said this list are just names dropping that do not tell anything important at all..... (just as this very post )
