kirk hammet is an amazing guitarist. james hetfield is probably one of the worst though. all he knows is metal riffs that sound cool yet kirk is like all over the neck of his guitar. even when kirk is just screwing around warming up he is awesome. but my favorite guitarist of all time is mark tremonti from creed. i know what your thinking, creed sucks and they broke up, but if you listen to the riffs, chords and song styles that he has come up with is truly great and amazing. if you want to hate me for liking creed and linkin park, go for it. but if you try to listen to all types of music and bands with an open mind you will find yourself listening to different genres and bands that you never thought you would. take my word for it. it worked for me!

james hetfield's rythems are amazing. thats his job..making the song sound cool with simple rythem riffs..yet he lays down some great solos.
creed have nice intros to thier songs but when they hit distortion thier songs simply turn into crap
linkin park make me laugh. simple guitar riffs that sound stupid
