Number 99 Misha Mansoor

Lead guitarist and primary song-writer for the Progressive metal band Periphery. He took me by surprise when first hearing him, they were recommended to me through a friend, and I have to admit I don't really care for prog-metal there are a few bands I like but I find that it's too much on a whole. But the young Misha Mansoor is, on a whole, a phenominal guitar player. His melodic control is astounding for such a young musician, and he definitely can't be charged for over playing in any sense of the word (the same can't be said for many prog guitarists) not to mention this kid can kick out a groove that makes drummers jealous. He definitely deserves to be on this list!

Songs "Icarus Lives" "Buttersnips"
