These are guitarists that I feel are the best. This will not include guitarists who are/were lead vocalists. That's another top ten for another time. This list may surprise you, it may not. Basically there's shredders on here. Why? I love fast guitar playing. OK enough of my rambling. Here it is!

1. Jason Becker

This man is the best guitar player period! And yes, he is number one in my opinion. I have a shitload of respect for this man. He really knew how to play the guitar. Him and Marty Friedman were a formidable guitar duo in Cacophony. Best. Guitarist. Ever. I loooooove this dude with a passion (though not as much as my BF, of course!)! If you wanna listen to the best guitar playing, I suggest you listen to him. I don't have any his works, but I will get them.

2. Steve Vai

Brilliant guitarist, he almost gets the number one spot. I've seen this dude twice live (lucky me!) and I was floored when I saw him the first time. He plays the guitar with great emotion. It's like the guitar is like an extra removable part of his body. He is really damn good. He got lessons from guitar virtuoso Joe Satriani (sorry to burst your bubble, he is NOT in my top ten!).

3. Michael Angelo Batio

This man knows how to shred and he shreds well. I love how fast he plays. He totally kicked ass in Nitro. He has blazing guitar solos that are out of this world. Totally gnarly! I suggest you listen to his Nitro stuff. It really really kicks major arse. I want to get his solo stuff.

4. Vinnie Vincent

Another speed demon on the guitar. This guy is just as unbelievable as Batio. He was in KISS for a while and replaced Ace Frehley. Yep, this guy rocks!

5. Yngwie Malmsteen

I saw him live once. I will say that I was not highly impressed. He was repetitive and it got old real fast. Why is he on my list? Well his studio recordings make up for his live performance. Get his first album and The Seventh Sign. Pretty damn epic recordings. He plays with such great emotion and all of that stuff. Totally musically-inclined and he puts his music skills to awesome use.

6. Jun Senoue

Crush 40's guitarist. I really love his riffs. His guitar solos are pretty damn cool. He earns a spot on my list. Check him out with Crush 40.

7. Paul Gilbert

Coming in at lucky 7 is this dude. I only watched and listened to him over YouTube. Man, he really has chops. This guy is fast as hell too. I want to get his stuff badly.

8. Chris Impellitteri

I know very little stuff by him. However, I did listen to whatever he had up on Impellitteri MySpace page. It was cool that I got friend requested by this band sometime this year. I wanted to listen to his stuff for quite sometime and I got the opportunity to do so. I was blown away. I want to get into his music more. He really knows how to shred.

9. Ralph Santolla

An excellent guitarist. He is a real great guitar god. I really dig his work in Obituary. They should keep him. He's on the last couple albums and he is dynamite. I find him better than James Murphy *gasp* (oh he's not on the list, oh well!). Terrific guitar player. I like him a lot.

10. criss oliva (R.I.P.)

Last, but not least... Savatage's axeman. An immensely talented guitar player. He is one of the greatest heavy metal guitarists we didn't get to know so well. He will always be remembered and his recordings live on forever. The number #10 spot was a bit tough. I almost put Randy Rhoads here, though I feel Criss Oliva deserves it more.

Alright, that's that and I hope you enjoyed my list!

Below I have chosen a favourite album and favourite song from 40 separate years ('67-'06). This is just my opinion and based on the music I've actually heard. The favourite track does not have to come from the year's corresponding favourite album. In cases where the track does happen to come from the year's favourite album it is usually either an indicator of a weak year (1993) or an incredibly strong album (1982). However, I do tend to change my mind quite a bit, so I may return to this journal to update my preferences, particularly when I discover new albums and new tracks to love. In most cases the decision was incredibly close with many runners up in extremely close contention

Neo-classical metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music that is heavily influenced by classical music. It refers to a very technical performance consisting of elements borrowed from both classical and heavy metal music . Yngwie Malmsteen, the most notable musician in the sub-genre, contributed greatly to the development of the style in the 1980s. A common practice in the genre is to transcribe classical pieces and play them in a rock/metal band format. The Baroque and Classical periods have been particularly influential to the genre due to their unique sound and techniques that blend into a rock setting effectively. Some of the techniques used include counterpoint and pedal point.

The golden age of neo-classical metal was the late 80s with the many solo guitarists signed to Mike Varney's Shrapnel Records. Musicians like Yngwie Malmsteen, Chris Impellitteri, Tony Macalpine, Vinnie Moore, Paul Gilbert, Greg Howe, Joey Tafolla, David Chastain, Jason Becker, and Marty Friedman, were all part of the scene. Most of these musicians followed the format left by Yngwie J Malmsteen in the early to mid 80s.

Recently, the genre has mostly been enjoyed by guitarists in more of an underground setting as the style is not well known outside of the realm of guitarists. Today, there are many more bands that contribute as a whole as opposed to solo musicians in the past. Some of today's notable neo-classical metal performers are Michael Angelo Batio, Joe Stump, David Valdes, Symphony X, Stratovarius, Adagio, Apocalyptica , and Warmen.

Even more recently there has been a sudden burst of slight neo-classical influence within mainstream metal acts such as Children of Bodom, Between the Buried and Me, The Human Abstract, and Protest the Hero.

Disfrutenlo

Larga Vida Al Metal!!!!

We all question ourselves about our own existence and its purpose.
Fear is what ignorance is made of, and I’m surely not afraid of dying but I really want to know why I’m here before that happens. And to be honest I would rather die suffering the most terrible pains than to just fade out while I sleep.

Some people shut down this way of thinking by simply believing in something that supposedly offers them all the answers, which are never really answered. And that something we call religion

What is the real purpose of religion?
It is supposed to help people curb their lower nature; man transiting from the animal to the human specie, has so much of the lower nature ingrained in him.
As a human being, you have the technology of mind, senses, intellect, and self awareness; all this equipment is supposed to help you to accelerate your evolution. Being steeped in lower nature, humans just create more problems and degradation in the world; they create imbalance, destroying the rest of humanity.
Religion was formulated to help man rise above and subdue the lower nature through fear and superstition. In this way, society will be of higher quality and we will be better human beings. This will help to create a better world. That should be the purpose of religion.
But the more I study history, the more I see that religion has been the source and the cause for most of the conflicts in the world; most of the wars and atrocities In the world were in the name of religion. That makes one wonder what is the real purpose of religion.

Religion creates so much hatred and fanaticism, causing people to lose all sense of humanity, where instead, the real purpose of religion is to make people more loving, tolerant and kind.

Throughout the world people are being exploited in the name of God.
Religious leaders use that fear of God and their power to control people, keeping them in bondage and superstition.

When you control people’s mind and keep them in ignorance and darkness that is the greatest violence.

When people are enslaved physically, they still have freedom of mind, as expressed by Jean-Paul Sartre in The Flies referring to freedom as a state of mind. Having spent some time in prison camp, he knew quite a bit. And his point about freedom is worth considering. In his philosophical view of existentialism, being free mostly has to do with knowing that you are free.
So even if you are imprisoned you are allowed a freedom of mind, of morality, of belief, and of self, even if physically confined.
But when you take away the freedom of mind and instill fear and superstition in people’s minds, then they would be degrading their consciousness. ENSLAVING YOUR MIND

People are enslaved anyhow all the time in the pursuit of wealth and pleasure, trying to satisfy their greed.

The Dilemma of Desire developed by Arthur Schopenhauer explains Life as an expression of the will is basically goal-oriented. We are always seeking something. This is true of all life, but most of all of the higher conscious animals. So long as we seek our goal, we are not satisfied and the unfulfilled desire drives us forward. If we do not satisfy the desire, then we remain unfulfilled. But if we do satisfy the desire and win the goal, then we have no more motivation and life has basically come to an end. Thus, life is motion towards a goal. If we do not get the goal, then we remain dissatisfied. If we do get the goal, then the life-force ceases. Either way, the fulfillment of desire is impossible. We cannot have a fully fulfilled life and enjoy it too.

If reality is the blind will to live, and the world is the objectivity of such a blind will, life is painful misery. To desire signifies suffering distress on account of the lack of what is desired. If the desire is not satisfied, the distress remains and increases; if it is satisfied, satiety and annoyance follow, and this in turn causes new desires and new distresses. ENSLAVING YOUR MIND

Well, if this has not cheered you up let me tell you we shall do best to think of life ...as a process of disillusionment: since this is, clearly enough, what everything that happens to us is calculated to produce.
This may sound harsh but it opens a whole new world of ideas and possibilities, i will try to make it plain and simple for you all to understand. If you really want to enjoy life see the glass totally empty, that way you will never get disappointed.

This all sums up in this phrase left by writer Isaac Asimov:
"Whatever the tortures of hell, I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse."
Our minds are in control. Instead of the mind being the tool, we are the tool.

The vast majority of the population is unaware that they are slaves to their own minds and emotions.....which is why there is so much suffering, addiction, dishonesty and etcetera in this world. In fact, it is the soul cause of all humanity's greatest woes.

We can never have a true sense fulfillment in our lives as long as our minds are either constantly in the past or in the future.

Only when we are able to separate ourselves from our minds constant analyzing and judging of everything can we grasp truth.

...Is this the truth?
And is the path to "enlightenment" learning how to observe and separate yourself from your mind and emotions?
To live in the moment?
Is there any connection in this to the meaning of life?


Life is just a ride, Bill Hicks:
”The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we kill those people.”
