Dave Mustaine

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Im not going to argue that Mustaine and Marty Friedman do better and more complex guitar solos than Kirk Hammet (who is pretty good, but I think is also overated and a lot of his solos sound forced or obligatory), but for me it isnt about the guitar solos. Just because Metallica doesn't have the most technically proficient musicians in the world doesnt mean that the quality and power of their sound is inferior (well, at least thats what I think). To me, precise and proficient does not always mean creative and emotional. I dont care for guitar and drum solos that scream "Technical masturbation", and are seemingly used for the sake of showing off. It's the fucking riffs, man.
