Creating a list of the top heavy metal guitarists is a difficult task and while this list may irritate some, there is no doubt as to the influence of each of them. Depending on the genre of heavy metal you are into, these guitarists each contributed in different ways, whether it is classical, death, glam, blues or any type of metal.

This is indicated in the above clip, when three members of the band fumble through three full minutes while avoiding, almost as...

It's actually not something I've heard recently on L.A.'s 100.3 The Sound . I've just been thinking about rock favorites, and I vaguely remembered reading Kirk Hammett inverview at Rolling Stone from 2008. Discussing his influences, Hammett said that: To this day, UFO are my favorite band in the whole world. I was playing "Doctor Doctor" [from 1974's Phenomenon] for my one-and-a-half-year-old...
