I reffer his voice and if we are talking about riffs (not solo guitar technique) I chose him too!! Just listen to master of puppets. However I also like Mustaine very much but I always preffered to hear Metallica. Great answer You understood my question perfect!The poll is based on the riffs they have made and songs over the past 20 years.This is a tough one to answer isnt it. QUOTE (VinceG @ Nov 22 2007, 05:09 PM) I love simplicity in thrash. The closer it is to having a hardcore punk presence the better for me. Maybe one of the reason I love Anthrax so much. I definatly see that now ,and it makes sense why you say kill em all is there only real thrash album.My thing though is i dont like punk at all.I guess when you mix so many genr's or music its easy to get confused ''atleast for me''.I've never cared for Anthrax and i think its due mostly to there vocals,but they have made there place in music no doubt .

You could say I'm a bit of an elitist when it comes to this kind of music(metal in general) so forgive me about that. But I thank you for taking the time to understand my thoughts.

Wow, just noticed that Dave Mustain had 14 votes for being the better vocalist. Theres no way, I mean just listen to ...And Justice for All. James voice is absolutely incredible on that album I think Dave only sounds good on a few songs. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Well everyone has different oppinions, but how can you say that the riffs from Metallica's first four albums sound generic? Metallica was one of the pioneers of metal, and therefore had some very original riffs at the time. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

(no offense intended) second off, i dont know why he would be called a jerk, he went through rehab, straightened out his life, and is back on the right track, sure, he may have been a jerk, but i have much respect and admiration for this man and how he got back on the right path, Its never an easy thing to do, im glad he came out standing and came out on top with megadeth.

Nov 26 2007, 01:04 AM	GMC:er Posts: 1.461 Joined: 16-June 07 From: Scotland	I still find Dave's new found love of Christianity a bit wierd, the whole getting Rotting Christ kicked off the Greece dates was very harsh considering their music only acts primarily as some Satanic gimmick, not anything serious. And the whole Pastor following him around on tour thing was also a bit nuts, anarchaic rockstar joining the biggest organisation in the world doesnt quite do it for me Having said that, I watched the Metallica documentary "Some Kind Of Monster" and could not get over how shallow and ignorant they portrayed themselves to be, I was thinking "are these guys for real?". Both decent bands though, dont get me wrong, I just find some of their personalities a bit dislikable. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Exactly and thank you for your response to extent information on my statement. QUOTE (Robin @ Nov 25 2007, 07:11 PM) I agree. Infact, I dont even like complicated music To me, technical skills mean NOTHING in music, but for others it might mean alot. I see your point. Not being technical doesn't mean you suck at guitar, there are people who probably play very simple music but if they showed more interest in being a technical guitarist they could probably show they have amazing talent in that field also. I do love technical music though, but I also love music where no technical talent is shown. Oh yeah by the way, all Mustaine fans might enjoy his new section in Guitar World. His first lesson can be found in the newest issue. I believe he will be doing lessons every month for the magazine now along with Slash and Michael Angelo Batio who have been contributing to Guitar World for quite a while now.
