QUOTE (TeoWulf @ Apr 17 2013, 01:04 PM)  André Olbrich. Though I'm not sure if he counts as power metal guitarist, for his playing and songwriting style is very diferent from all the others on the list, but Blind Guardian is sometimes considered a power metal band, so why not include him here. Also, I think we should add Henjo Richter, since he does most of the solos in Gamma Ray. Good two additions! Thanks! I consider BG power metal, one of the pioneers of that style. -------------------- My lessons

In the early days they were speed metal, and nowdays they've become lot more progressive than most power metal bands. yeah, they are unique and mix everything that you said, Power Metal, Speed Metal, Symphonic, Thrash, Progressive. -------------------- My lessons

You Named it all already! Power metal is more of "Team Sport" so it doesn't have that amount of guitar heroism, like perhaps in other styles like progressive or thrash metal...

QUOTE (Slavenko Erazer @ Apr 18 2013, 03:56 AM) Yeah we could... but does he still plays Power Metal? Or he's with Ozzy on full contract now.. I would add Manni Schmidt (Grave Digger) Victor Smolski ( this guy holds Rage on his back) and to me best guitar duo in metal Jon Drenning and Ben Jackson (Crimson Glory) Thanks for the additions mate.
