I don't know if I would say mad. More so disappointed, bothered, and bummed out.

@@beatlemania8945 There's a word for that...its starts with an 'm' and ends with a 'd'.

Sorry first time viewer. Why would he get mad at Mustaine being on the list?

@@drewdude7960 If I remember correctly he doesn't enjoy Megadeth. I might be wrong though

@@andjustjizzforall I hope that's not the case. Someone not liking Megadeth makes my soul hurt.

Dat Mechanical right hand !

And his number of iconic riffs

@@ledsabbazepplath3889 100% , he’s Iommi level when it comes to writing riffs

Yes

Yep. Generations of guitarists looked up to that right hand.

@Andy Don He is the riff king, he just came up with one after the other, most of sabbaths songs have at least two awesome riffs each if not 3 or even 4, after Iommi Id also say Hetfield is like that, and that is why is ridiculous he wasnt on the list at #2

I had this when I writing a composition for school. Was writing the song, got to the chorus and realised that had basically stolen Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, completely unintentional

Rob Zombie, a real "fountain of knowledge" about metal and guitar playing..

Completely untrue and ignorant statement

@@KittehWorkshopagreed

True

Facts bro

Def agree

Man Chuck wasn’t like other guitarists, he literally was The Godfather of Death Metal, what a legend he was and still is

Chuck inspired me to learn guitar. RIP the master, Schuldiner

it’s not heavy metal

Did you watch his other watchmojo video

Well yes and no, the term was around before Black Sabbath, but they were really the first ones to embrace the term, for marketing purposes. But both Iommi and Butler recently were in an interview, and were asked what metal bands they listen to now, and both said they don't listen to modern metal because it has nothing to do with what they were trying to do back in the 60s.

I often to Slayer far more for Dave Lombardo's drumming.

Like, i love me some slayer byt I can't disagree ahhahahahah

@Seymour Glass his solos on Seasons in the Abyss were great. War Ensemble is a classic, and Spirit in Black, Dead Skin Mask are really melodic and awesome. For the most part, you’re not wrong though. He was inspired by hard-core punk guitarist like Greg from black flag; wild and chaotic on purpose.

I like slayer solos they give the song a chaotic feeling even if it’s doesn’t sound the best

I don't think he meanders so much as storms across the room violently at sharp angles

I've literally never seen anyone do that.

Metallica aren't metal they are a acoustic pop band silly

Metallica ain’t metal though. They haven’t been for a while. In the 80’s definitely. But even their 80’s material was weak compared to Megadeth or literally most other bands of that time.

@@tromboneman4517 Found him

yeah some people havent listened to dyers eve😀

Best vocalist of the big 4 too... other than maybe Joey Belladonna.

I think Dave Mustaine is more so in that sense. Don’t get me wrong, James speaks more to me a musician and has always done so. But technically Dave has more of that since he’s more technical than Kirk on lead guitar for example.

His solos, while rare, are absolute fire too.

​@@ShinDSERhis solo on MoP is beautiful

False, everyone knows Lars is the real mastermind behind metallica.

@@dragongamer4753 no

@@dragongamer4753 Mmmmmm in the arrangement and composing yeah, but Lars needs riffs to even think about the songs as a whole, he doesn't have the skill set to write riffs or sections but his vision and approach to songwriting in Metallica is arguably at the same importance level as James Riffs.

@@derianefrain5745 woosh

But this is supposed to be about guitar players... And he's a better player than Het...

I love Hetfield but everything he knows about metal he learnt from Dave. Metallica wouldn't have been great without Hetfield being influenced by Dave.

@@dawidvanstraaten I mean, James wrote most of Master Of Puppets didn't he? So...

@@Hikaeme-od3zq sure but he wouldn't have written it without influence from Dave. Dave wrote most of Megadeth albums, didn't he? Holy Wars, Hangar 18, Rust in Peace, Tornado of Souls, etc. James should be on the list, but Mustaine's a better guitarist.

@@dawidvanstraaten Dave didn't learn James everything he knows about metal.

@@Penisdoll overstated it that a bit. But the Metallica sound has Dave written all over it.

Same dude lmao I was just bombarded luckily everyone else in my house was awake so yeah lol.

Agree

Trapped Under Ice has my favorite riff of his

I disagree. The greatest guitar player from Metallica is obviously Dave Mustaine.

@@kiillabytez give your reasons for why you believe that

@@alebarajas3045 I don't make top 10 lists.

He’s too good and influential that he will never be rated as he deserves. (So with Chuck Schuldiner but that’s another story)

Glenn is even a bit older than Iommi yet his skill evolved every the album release always bring new style. He's my personal top choice in my book along with Marty Friedman, George Lynch, similar guitarists who has own unique style, unorthodox, & unusual guitar licks.

Piggy was also the guitarist for Voivod

And Dino is of fear factory

Lol long time metalhead never heard of any of them

Actually tbh more of a prog head now

@@charlesmartiniii1405 that's probably why I dont know them either, they're part of the dark corner of metal I associate with random noise. No disrespect to them of course.

In metal especially, it's a key component to songwriting, which is more important that technical proficiency.

Was in a band with a guy who could play a shred fairly quick, but his riffs consisted of the muted e string and an e power chord. And although his solos were fast, they were long and uninspired, riffs are what matter, what a fucking snooze fest

@@pijusfurmaniukas6972 yes

I just recently discovered death, and I’m soo glad I did, he was an incredible musician and the lyrics were so incredibly written, especially the album “symbolic “ the whole thing was so amazing, there wasn’t one bad song One there

-on

@@jesswise8680 Same lol. I had heard them before and really didn't like their music, (I only listened to scream bloody gore, and leprosy) but once I heard flesh and the power it holds I changed my mind. The Sound of Perseverance imo is their best album with like you said not one bad song lol. R.I.P. Chuck you were taken from us to early.

@@greasemonkeyethan I really liked them when gene hoglan was their drummer, absolutely amazing! He’s a beast!

@@jesswise8680 every Death drummer is a beast, honestly. Gene Hoglan, Sean Reinert, Richard Christy etc are freaking amazing

Yes

Absolutely

Its a similar situation with Cliff burton, he was on 3 albums but fucking imagine if he had lived. It would be a totally different story

He'd probably become a classical guitar player. Many people who knew Randy personally told in a bunch of interviews that he was gonna quit Ozzy Osbourne's band after Diary of Madman's tour

Absolutely right. He was going to do the third studio album and tour and that’s it. Go to UCLA for classical guitar. Who knows what would’ve happened.

Not scary, more sad

Jeff's solo's were better too... Kerry King's guitar playing is absolute SHITE lol

@@hawk1093 I mean his riffs, are usually more power chords, like piece by piece, is kerry kings song, just cold simple power chords. Also he had few solos that don't really suck, like repentles, or actually south of heaven. STILL Jeff is superior in my opinion. Rip

Oh and, also, I think what is best in Slayer is or rather was, is dave lombardo and Jeff, Rip Slayer

Kerry King is an amazing guitar player. One of the best in the metal. But I would say Jeff over Kerry.

@@rfrontany In no way shape or form is Kerry King an "amazing" guitarist unless you're just exaggerating and say everything is amazing or you just don't know how to play guitar lol he was passable at best.

Agreed personally I love hetfeild and mustaine because they are the greatest riff masters especially Hetfeild but dimbag could really do it all unlike most of the people on the list Eddie vanhalen could as well but he was more hard rock than metal

Yes!!!

Apart from the fact that they put hammet instead of hetfield and king instead of hanneman yes

I would put Spiritual Healing on that list too

He has reacted to Crystal Mountain but he didn't like it nor hate it. He truly loved Voice of the Soul though

Mike liked Symbolic(yay), but he didn't like Lack of Comprehension(nay)

@@carlosykyk he reacted to it? When?

@@jeppyjep I don't remember honestly, but you can just search song suggestion friday death, and then check the descriptions of the videos to see if the title of the song or the name of the band is included

I respect Metallica, I just think they're massively overrated.

@@1krani You can do both, and that’s okay.

you could say that their first 5 albums are overrated/properly rated and then load, reload and hardwired are underrated

@Andy Don Uh-huh, and what have they done recently, besides encourage every mid-2000s metal act to use that stupid vocal static effect, even ones like Dokken who should've kept it clean? So they WERE groundbreaking, 40 years ago. Iron Maiden were part of that same heavy metal hurricane, practically defining the non-Satanic section of heavy metal iconography and mythos, but people will gladly give them shit for their recent mediocre (in my opinion; my opinion is more positive than many non-hardcore Maiden listeners) output. Metallica doesn't get a free pass, either. Being great 40 years ago doesn't mean they're still great, nor does it mean people should look to them for inspiration. And in case you didn't notice, other metal genres like black, death, industrial and even some so-called "hair metal" bands like W.A.S.P. have since surpassed them for aggression and lyrical content without sacrificing melody. In fact, by virtue of "St. Anger" being a thing, W.A.S.P. are objectively better on account of the fact they never released a dud. Also, "One" IS overrated. A dreary trudge from beginning to end. You want to see how to write a song about heavy themes without dragging the energy out back and disemboweling it? "Kiss of Death" by Dokken, "Conquistadors" by Running Wild, or the ENTIRE "Crimson Idol" album by W.A.S.P. Hell of a lot more listenable than "One" ever was.

And st. Anger is massively hated. The problems on the album that they say are lack of solos, the snare, and production quality. Those have no longer been an issue for me since the album grew on me and I am used to the snare. The problem of St. Anger in my opinion is the lyrics, but I don't care because I only focus on the instruments. And people missed the point of St. Anger. It is not even made for the fans. It is made for metallica as an album where they release all of their anger towards all the things they have gone through like Burton's death, Jason Newstead leaving the band, napster leaking their unreleased song, people saying that they sold out, and more. It doesn't matter if they like the album or not, as the important thing is that metallica moved on from their problems and came back to their thrash roots in 2008.

I agree

Dave Mustaine took his spot.

instead it was a 5 minute ad

@@AlexAnteroLammikko r/woooooosshhhhhh

He’s moved through the stages of grief

The album on your pfp fits exactly one of those requirement You can guess which

He who talks shit about iommi is instantly wrong

Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules are two of the best albums ever created. I love me some Ozzy-era Sabbath, but nothing touches those two masterpieces!

People who say Black Sabbath isnt metal have probably never listen to Symptom Of The Universe.

🤘🤘🇵🇱🇵🇱

Periphery not being on here was really disappointing. I've been listening to them more and more; they might be one of my favorite bands ever. Their guitar tones are so freaking awesome

@@RPGManoWar honestly. And Misha was the first person to coin and use the term Djent. Although they didnt invent the sound obviously.

Mark Holcomb is better than Misha tho

@@dexxfilm i just think Mishas name comes up more is all.

Well this comment didn't really age well with actually finishing the video, since the list wasn't even that bad. :D

Lol

You chose the time to write that comment............poorly

i did april 20 for the joke but I was also thinking april 6. or tonight.

I love slayer solos theyre more based in chaos and extreme shit rather than melody or technique thats why they sound like gibberish to some people. I guess that people wouldn't last listening to a Merzbow album lol

@@gaboxd4407 they sound like gibberish because they are quite literally musical gibberish.

@@folzky8459 Do you mean the guys doing borderline emo metalcore amd djent were better bcos they knew their scales and shit? Dont be so nitpicky I personally love abrasive music bc I aint a pussy

@@folzky8459 slayer solos are THE SOLOS

@@gaboxd4407 yes

Atomic Punk is definitely really close to metal from Van Halen if it isn't already considered metal.

On Fire by Van Halen is also metal to me.

Clearly

Damm, enjoy your free suggestion Conor

Same👀

Misha Mansoor and Synyster Gates absolutely. The influence they had on their respective genres is undeniable. And i wouldn't call myself the biggest fan of either.

Agree with all of them, but its pretty hard to pick since there are so many technically proficient guitarists out there, I guess you gotta pick the most known/influential ones. I'd add Alexi Laiho to that list as well, checks all the boxes.

Im still wondering how syn's hands survived while playing exist

I mean...they are.

That was my guess too. 😉

Lol nah Metal is not based around the blues tho like Glam metal is. Glam Metal is more of a hard Rock subgenre than a heavy metal one

@@scottbulinski5450 Heavy Metal as a whole is rooted in the blues. You can hear that in Black Sabbath. Why the double standard?

@@scottbulinski5450 i dont like glam metal, but they are metal. Metal bands has incorporate blues, jazz and other genres in their sound.

He is hard rock and so is Jimmy page and Eddie van Halen

Yep, definitely! And Rainbow was classic heavy metal on their first 3 albums. Purple's In Rock and Machinehead are also classic 70's heavy metal. Hard rock is Aerosmith or AC/DC, quite different.

The earlier albums was Dave Mustains music. Kirk just played what Dave wrote

@@alexspurr124 That's not true at all lol. Dave co-wrote only 4 songs on kill em all and kirk wrote all the solos. Maybe 1 or 2 riffs on ride the lightning but that's it.

Hetfield's better.

@@alexspurr124 Only Kill em All and a couple other songs im talking about others

@@nickh7962 The solos on Kill were mostly improvised haha

My dad doesn't believe DT is a metal band, especially when he always listens to Train Of Thought!!!! They invented progressive metal
