ok, the names in the poll above would be largely increased, except for the fact that when u create a poll, it says 10 max choices, so i didn't know what to do with that
the above mentioned guitarists are all amazing, and there isn't one that i do not like, but for me, i think any technical guitarist from the 80s, like michael angelo from nitro, or billy sheehan on bass (SHREDDING IT UP FOR ALL YOU BASSISTS) and some others, like george lynch, cacaphony was amazing as well, ninja is one of my fav songs ever, with jason becker, who very unfourtunately has been fighting gehrigs (spelling?) disease for about 14 years now, and i know we are all hoping he pulls through. Megadeth with Marty Freidman is one of my favorite bands, until they got that new shitty guitarist, and then split up Zakk wilde is pretty awesome, and when he comes to vancouver bc with ozzy, i really hope to get tix. Any one i'm missing? I'm sure there is, so, why don't u guys reply with your favorite 80's metal guitarists, thats my new challenge, thanks, later
ps, i know that 80s metal, or "power metal" isnt the only genre with good guitarists, i just want to know ur opinions on 80s shredders, thanks a lot,
