Top 10 Thrash Metal Lead Guitarists

Top 10 Thrash Metal Lead Guitarists. Part of the ultimate compilation of Thrash Metal Riffs that span 25 years of Thrash Metal. The intention is to promote the revival of Thrash Metal. Support the bands....buy the music! I think this is fair use of Copyright as most of the clips are very short.

Hey ThrashMetalRiffs, can you make a Top 10 for The Best Thrash Metal Ballads or Thrash Metal Covers?

[ThrashMetalRiffs]

@killeraevis51 Top Thrash Covers sounds like a great idea. Cheers.

Jeff Waters is a rhythm guitarist

[ThrashMetalRiffs]

@WiggieWomper Thrash Rhythm guitarist list was a tough one to get into. But I think he is a fantastic lead guitarist and well worthy of being in this list. But you are right in that he is a great all round guitarist. In fact he is one of the best guitarists in metal and was the biggest influence on the Evile Guitarist.

Wow I´m a huge fan of Marty and a really love his position on this top, well What can i say? You´re the MAN ThrashMetalRiffs....

[ThrashMetalRiffs]

@jonathandavis085 It was an easy choice for me. I've been a fan of Marty since Cacophony. He is probably one of the most unique guitarists on the planet. And there isn't a style of guitar he hasn't mastered. Check out 'Top 20 Cacophony solos' to see more Marty genius with Jason Becker. (3 vids)

Josh Christian from Toxik!

@HarvesterofSorrow316 did you really just say that Kirk Hammet is underrated...?

[lalalalalolaa]

And where's Chris Broderick from Nevermore/Megadeth? Look what he and Mustaine do in "Dialectic Chaos"

[dkk2k9]

Thank God Kirk Hammett isn't there the MOST overrated guitarist and band of all time

[patrolmostwanted]

Kerry King also should be on the list but I know having too many bands to choose from is a pain to the ass when making such a list.

[TheAnalogKidd]

#1 Marty Friedman of MEGADEEEEEEEEEEEEEETH!!!!!!!

[kbenjeoma]

Jeff Hanneman should be in the top 5 :(

[Hughesy16LFC]

@andrewwells11 Of course i have. Theyre pretty good riffs, but i think a band such as Vio-lence has way better riffs, and this is about lead guitar anyway.

[andrewwells11]

@Hughesy16LFC maybe because he writes and play some of the best metal riffs ever written, have you listened to the whole reign in blood album

[RSCao]

@KwinsieGrooten I think Marty has better writing skills than Jeff so...

[MoRBiDAnGeL70]

Alex skolnick is just fucking badass

[665NeighbrOfTheBeast]

THANK YOU someone finally puts jeff waters on a list he is very underrated nad so is ANNIHILATOR
