[mashka93dnb]

[guitarland1]

eddie van halen,vito bratta,brad gillis,cc deville,r.sambora,steve stevens should be on the list..

[altimax9091]

vitto de bratta , ronny le treko and george lynch ...and slash ..of course ..

[missehthepirate]

Why isnt Mick Mars on this list or slash eddie van halen?? These guys are some of the most important people in guitar playing history but im glad you got Robbin on there

[UnderdogDMG]

No Cris Oliva? This list wouldnt crack my top 20 except for lynch and Malmstein. Dude you need to listen to more tunes id say. Peace

[legacyband]

you never listen to white lion? van halen? marty friedman?

[szwakyd]

Ronnie Le Tekro, nice

[Balddi7]

Man I just love ya. I was wondering: "which solo have he chosen for George Lynch? In My Dreams?" Hah, matched perfectly. Very underrated but one of the best guitarists.

[HeavyMetalDude1994]

@Balddi7 Yes, I chose the solo from "In My Dreams"

[04jhayes]

you forgotten eddie van halen

[Tricksterize]

Where is Jake E. Lee?

[Michael1773196]

ummmm...Marty?

[paraglidermx]

First of all Warren is better than crosby,,and Randy was better than George also for got jake,friedman,mustaine,batio,s­kolnic,adrian is better than murray,I am glad I saw Reb in there though!!

Ok list but I can tell its all your opinion and not fact LOL!!

[fernyorgo]

Robbin Crosby.....No way. A lot of things can be debated but not that one.LOL

[ipsofacto297]

Some unique picks here. Am also somewhat surprised to see Robbin Crosby included in this group (RIP), and I was unable to identify #8 and #10??

[ilikehairbands]

Indeed Vivian Campbell was awesome. It sucks that he's become such a douche. All he does now is whine about how much he doesn't like this music.

[princesstna925]

@ilikehairbands Vivian Campbell will whore himself out to any band.

[sawiola55]

only van halen can be over yngwie in the 80's

[YoDudeRock]

George Lynch will always be my all time favorite!

[MrMarkvrod]

Robin Crosby died of aids

[MrMarkvrod]

George Lynch is my favorite

[LCkidguitar]

what is the song on crosby coz im a ratt fan

[HeavyMetalDude1994]

@LCkidguitar Ratt - Wanted Man

[TheSupersabby]

@LCkidguitar if ur a ratt fan u would have known that lol

[Greebo111]

No Gary Moore, Vinnie Moore or Tony Macalpine? All three of which would absolutely piss on half of your list.

[blackmustang728]

where's kirk hammett ?

[Explorer766]

Do you think Robbin Crosby was cute or something. I think you lost many of us there. Nice guy RIP but the guy was not a good guitar player.

[HeavyMetalDude1994]

@Explorer766 No, I just think that he offered alot to heavy metal guitar in the 80's.

[Explorer766]

@HeavyMetalDude1994 Honestly, I think his type led to the demise of 80's metal. Big hair, poser, and lean on musical talent. If you go back to the roots of metal, even 1980 - 1984, you needed to be an extraordinary guitar player/band to have success. Ratt had some redemption in DeMartini but was a movement in the wrong direction, the direction that eventually made the average listener ask themself, "do I really like this music?"

[chuckieg1000]

@Explorer766 Yeah. Crosby?! Da fuck!

[TheSupersabby]

@Explorer766 yes he was u dumbshit he held it together for ratt on the rhythm

[Explorer766]

@TheSupersabby Yeah, I'm not sure what your sloppy little groan there is referring to.

[Deathm3t4l95]

why isn't Kee Marcello in the list? He deserves a great place in there

[LastOfSixMusic]

Jake E Lee pisses on all of these cats...!

[paraglidermx]

@LastOfSixMusic Hes good,,but your just a fan!!My top five. Randy Jake Dime Dave M. Friedman Skolnic Reb Satch Via Becker Moore Wylde Lynch Whoops more than five sorry!

[lynchdemartini]

top gl, 2nd wd nice list

[terrormonkey1]

oh! and wheres paul gilbert??!!??!!

[terrormonkey1]

dude... this is why it should be a top 20 not 10... where's EVH, ronnie tekro, nuno betencourt,vito bratta,marty friedman, phil colen, steve vai, joe satriani, michael schenker, ??? where are they man? you put steve harris in and not EVH!?!? what planet r u from?!?!?! i like how u got george at the top, im sure u can guess who my num 1 would be but lynch would be 2nd. nice how you got becker in there too...

[steelwizard]

dont forget Criss Oliva!

[breezizzle]

cool cool, how bout Michael Schenker too lol, and John Sykes

[bladerunner12]

I'd say Adrian Smith > Dave Murray. Murray and Gers mostly play backup lead to Smith now.

[CentraCross]

@bladerunner12 Murray has been on everything. And he is just as good as Adrian. Janick could be lost though.

[blueeyedsouthern]

I am the ultimate metal fan

,and I do not agree this list, I can see your tributes, but you need to do more research, cause I was there at the Wiskey and the Rodeo and I have seen it all from stage to back stage and you missed a

lot of great, great artist

[HeavyMetalDude1994]

@blueeyedsouthern Yes, I'm sure that i've been missing a lot of great artist. This list is based on my top 10 favourite guitarplayers in the 80's. They are also a huge influence for me.

[MrMegaFredzeppelin]

JASON BECKER,MAY GOD GIVE HIM A BREAK AND LET HIM PLAY AGAIN :(

[landers1984]

Where is EVH. Without EVH there would be no George Lycnh and DeMartini. They both list EVH as an influence...

[leddyzep1]

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaann­nnnnnnnddddyyyyy rhoads

[MrDazedandconfused45]

Probably would have bumped Randy Rhoads to #1 but overall a solid list and I salute you for including Vivian Campbell. A very underrated guitarist.

[iheartyou097]

Really? Where's Jake E. Lee and Edward VH !!

[Heroeshere]

shouldn't steve vai be on here? He played with a ton of metal bands during the 80's. Steve Vai's style may not be metal, but neither was Marty Friedmans

[JDog1980s]

Love Warren but he is not better than Randy Rhoads. Love George Lynch to but Randy got the gig for Ozzy. Randy, George, And EVH are the top guitarists.

[astralification]

jason becker is the best man

[ilovepantera97]

iron maiden started in the 70s

[HeavyMetalDude1994]

@ilovepantera97 Yes they did, but they made their first record in 1980.

[HalalKafir]

Top 10 in no particular order: 1. Ronni LeTekro 2. Akira Takasaki 3. Jake E Lee 4. John Sykes 5. Yngwie Malmsteen 6. Randy Rhoads 7. Paul Gilbert 8. George Lynch 9. Chris Poland 10. Marty Friedman

[42lynchmob]

[GlamMetalRebel]

GEORGE LYNCH FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!! GEORGE LYNCH IS MY IDOL

[HeavyMetalDude1994]

@GlamMetalRebel Yeah! he's still one of the greatest guitarplayers out there, his style is incredible!

[KomoUltra]

Finally a top 10 list with Ronni Le Tekrø on it! :D

[novemberrain1994]

Jason Becker is a god among gods.

[Super47max]

[TheGreatDuck]

A pretty good list,man!Personally,I'd also add John Norum,John Sykes,Kee Marcello,Jake E. Lee,Vito Bratta,Kai Hansen,Michael Weikath,Hermann Frank and Wolf Hoffman,but I guess you can't have them all...

[NirvanaJin]

MI voto es para WARREN DEMARTINI & ROBBIN CROSBY
