10 Best Rock + Metal Guitarists of All Time

My favourite Dave mustaine

Leslie west was a fucking badass

I’m maybe the only person on this planet who doesn’t like evh

i dont know,is it coincidence or somethin' but this top is my favourite guitarists and which come to mind when we used to talk about guitarists with friends

Slash Angus young should be on the list

Eddie and Hendrix alternate between first and second.

Jimi, right choice

David Gilmour?

Eric Clapton is good but not top 10

No chuck shuldiner?

Al primo posto JIMI HENDRX al secondo TONY IOMMi al terzo JMNY PAGE classifica perfetta anche quando preferivo il maestro RICHIE BLACKMORE❤❤❤❤❤

These guys are great, but if it was just guitarist, which is more impressive than just limiting to rock or metal, Stevie ray vaughn is the best.

damn this is the worst list iv ever seen

Wheres Nick Jonas and Lil Wayne? 🤬

Stein um stein is best solo in the world

Queen isn't metal.

Chuck Schuldiner, Zakk Wylde,Marty Friedman, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert, Jeff Hanneman, Bill Steer..

Mustane is the best in my eyes ngl

Where is Chuck Schuldiner?

Where kirk,, petrucci,,

Sad… no chuck schuldiner

A-list without Buckethead hmmm

For one where is zakk wylde?

Rock = jimmy page
Metal = dimebag

Oh look! An easy list of great guitarists, almost everyone on the planet knows! How... boring

Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford, Steve Vai, Ritchie Blackmore, Joe Satriani? No, never heard 'bout dem ))))

A top 10 metal guitarist and also a singer of his group ..is actually quite immpressive.

The selections were fine. The order is way off. EVH at 4? Is one example.

Iommi should be under no circumstances above Darrell

My list:
10. El hefe (nofx)
9. Brent hinds (mastodon)
8. Chris shifflett (no use for a name is where he shines listen to making friends)
7. Paul waggoner (btbam)
6. Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
5. Chris Flippin (Lagwagon alien 8 is where you can hear his solos)
4. Josh Elmore (cattle decapitation)
3. Chuck schuldiner (death)
2. Eddie Van Halen (Van Halen)
1. Dimebag Darrell (Pantera)

Hot take: Tony Iommi is the real prince of darkness, not Ozzy.

Great guitarists have no gfs; but have lots of passionate encounters with women other than their wife/ves...joke only

No Stevie Ray Vaughn??

I mean if this is a top ten I disagree , where's Blackmore , where's Guthrie? for all the hate my opinion should cause , I totally disagree on having Hendrix on top of all guitar players. he's not the best

Between Iommi and Hendrix. Hendrix was so influential, and the best guitarist. But let’s be honest, Iommi is the father of metal.

Either way Jimi is at the top of all of them: Rock, Metal, Blues, R&B, Jazz, Classical, Folk, Disco, Funk, Country, Rockabilly, etc., etc., etc.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far Brian May and Randy Rhodes are the only two I've liked so far. Half way done

where is Slash & Zak Wylde ..?!!

Disgrace!
Where is Ritchie Blackmore, the guitar god, a leader of two great hardrock bands, Deep Purple and Rainbow, an author of the most famous riffs and solos???

Marty Friedman is better than Mustaine(imo)

My list, not in particular order:

Marty Friedman (Megadeth)
David T. Chastain (Chastain)
Andy LaRocque (King Diamond)
Alex Skolnick (Testament)
Kirk Hammett (Metallica)
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Yngwie Malmsteen
Kai Hansen (Helloween/Gamma Ray)
Jesper Strömblad (In Flames)
Mille Petrozza (Kreator)
Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom)
Bill Steer (Carcass)
Michael Amott (Arch Enemy)
Andreas Kisser (Sepultura)
KK Downing (Judas Priest)
Janick Gers (Iron Maiden)
Jari Mäenpää (Wintersun)
Markus Toivonen (Ensiferum)
John Petrucci (Dream Theater)
Akira Takasaki (Loudness)
Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne)

Where is George Lynch

Uli Jon Roth ?

WHERE IS CHUCK ON THE LIST!!!

Blackmore and David Gilmour aren't even on the list, and you call yourselves rock fans? Instant unfollow + dis

I only saw 2 metal guitar players Dime and Iommi everyone else was a rock guitares shit Clapton and Hendrix played the blues hell y'all should have added johnny winter

This is an OK list for Greatest Rock guitarist of all-time (not Metal Guitarist), as long as we don't take the list in this order.

No way!
Richie Blackmore is one of the BEST
Should've been here

page - third placs
dime - fifth place
who tf did this list

I'm surprised to say that I pretty much agree with this list.
Although I'd take Eric Clapton out and Put Steve Vai in.
I've never known any realistic list of top guitarists not to contain Steve Vai.
And Eric? Well he's OK but come on, he's only there to appease and please a certain section of this audience.
