did anyone read it?

I heard Joel was very fair in his observations.



I'd like to hear Reviews for this book because it does look kind of interesting. sometimes i do like to fill my freetime with readings rather than rattling my head while listening to sum crazy shit.

by the way how do you guys feel toward his N.1 Pick: Dave Mustaine? (i'm sure this will have alot of controversy though)

dave mustaine isn't the best XD

people like michael angelo batio and michael romeo beat him easily lol

I'd like to read it to see his reasoning, as well as see who he included/read some of their background

Don't think i agree on him about Dave mustaine, but then again nit all comes down to what criteria he is selecting them on, and his personal preference.

MAB is the fastest but best? please. he is barely influencial in the world of rock and is totally uninfluential in the world of Metal.



ah everybody is entitled to their own opinion that's what you realise by reading his book, He honestly don't like mustaine as a human being (cause let's face it Mustaine is definately a dick) but I gotta say wether you like it or not, not only by the voice of megadeth Dave influenced the world of thrash, by influencing, Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Testament (a lesser known but one of my favorite band Sepultura) that is basically why he considers Mustaine the greatest Metal guitarist of all time.

and you got to give it to him he wrote alot of kickass guitar riffs .

You cannot deny that without Mustaine, Metal would have missed out on some truly amazing music.

I can understand why he'd say he's the best, he damn near is! But IMO in metal, Randy Rhodes is right up there..

take a look at number 42. that's me.

chears :), Revelation (Mother Earth) is the best from Blizzard of Ozz, only Ozzy cd i got though .

but i think its unfair to have rated James Hetfield only number 16 and rated Kirk Hammet number 5. i think James Hetfield is one of the most creative Guitar riffmaster out there, hammet all he does is solo but i should buy the book to understand his choice. True that for alot of people out there, the solos are the soul of a song, but for me it's mainly all about the guitar riffs.

michael angelo batio is far underated... hes even releasing albums of tributes to his influences which released at the same time as nitro and he is far better than...
his talent level is uncontested.... seriously play 4 neck guitars ambidextrous.... and any guitar world magazine no matter what the truth is has to have the classics or people will complain... even if they arent that great its all to feed the hype

he can't even write a decent riff, all he does is shred from a-z by bursting in an everlasting solo.

he has no originality, and ability is the only thing he posses, he has no talent specially for writing, if fastest kinds of guitarists with no talent is your thing might i suggest Rusty Cooley, he'll make your ears bleed, in an aweful way.

so what Mab plays 2 guitar at the same time? Steakmike plays bass guitar, drum pedals and keyboard while singing at the same time.

seriously like i said MAB has no influence in Metal, he has little influence on fucked up rock by influencing Tom Morello.
