Number 84 Nergal

Adam Darski, or more known by his stage name Nergal, is the lead guitarist and frontman for the Blackened Death Metal band "Behemoth" the grandmaster of the genre, a man so badass and so "tr00" that he even scared the shit out of the cancer that tried to kill him. A very underrated guitar player his solo in "Conquer All" should go down in history as one of metals best solos.

Songs: "Conquer All"

85 Uli Jon Roth

Lead guitar player to the Scorpions and one of the first guitar virtuoso's this man is just awesome. There's no way to say enough about a master of his instrument. Such a master, in fact, that when he had his custom sky guitar designed he added an extra 10 frets and 1 more knob then your normal 4 knob guitar. Not just a guitar player, but a composer and a master.

Songs: "Sails Of Charon" "Enola Gay"

86 Michael Schenker

Many guitar players and guitar teachers alike would lead you to believe that the only way to be a successful musician is to listen to all your heroes and emulate them, creating your own style through theirs, oh and don't forget to learn a shit load of theory as well. Well both cases are untrue in Michael Schenker's case, a fantastic and VERY influential guitar player who doesn't even know what palm-muting is, he just does it. And once he started his career he gave up listening to music and focused solely on writing it.

Songs: "Lights Out In London" "Rock Bottom" "Only You Can Rock Me"

Number 87 Yngwie Malmsteen

Taking shred guitar to the next level, guitar virtuoso and classically influenced Yngwie Malmsteen is the grand-daddy. If Eddie is the father, then Yngwie is definitely the brother of Eddie. Despite the obsession with blues based guitar playing, Yngwie saw past all that and discovered his own way of playing that didn't use the pentatonic and blues scale but played off of minor scales. This was the birth of Neo-classical.

Songs: "Black Star" "Rising Force" "Far Beyond The Sun"

Number 88 Eddie Van Halen

The God-father of the tapping technique, he is responsible for the mid-eighties shred era. Wailing guitars, screaming harmonics, dive bombs, the works this guy coined it all. A master, if you play shred guitar you've got to be influenced by Van Halen.

Songs: "Eruption" "You Really Got Me" "Hot For Teacher"

Number 89 Adrian Smith

I know a legendary guitar duo like Iron Maiden and I'm only putting one of the two guitar gods on the list. I have a reason. During Adrian's hiatus from Iron Maiden he grew as a musician, greatly, adapting new techniques to his style and growing from a typical British Metal Master, into a British Musical Genius despite his lack of theory knowledge.

Songs: "The Trooper" "Hallowed Be Thy Name" "Number Of The Beast"

Number 90 Oli Herbert

He's been called Jesus because of his looks and God because of his skill. I think both accusations are true. This man is living prove that with dedication, hard work, and a great attitude your dreams can come true. Starting off his guitar playing life hating solos and only play Metallica riffs, he quickly realized that not all solos have to be so "High and annoying like Slash and his cock-rock buddies played them," so he took a few lessons and started a band, which eventually flopped due to his "sucky playing, I was playing real melodic stuff, like Kerry King solos ha ha." He went to a musicians institute and got his bachelors degree in music theory, he then joined Metalcore band All That Remains. The rest is history!

Songs: "Two Weeks" "Chiron"
