I wish I could post Hansen's solo in Iron Savior's cover of Neon Knights. (Unfortunately that song isn't on YouTube.)

Apart from that, there's a ton of material out there which can be put to the test. I dislike his unoriginal writings on the last couple of Gamma Ray albums, but his material before that is very powerful.

And as a guitar player, Hansen is very complete. Can play and write strong riffs and melodic lines, can play solos. Most metal guitarists are especially good in one thing. I love Hansen's melodic approach and he also possesses skill, plus he can play well in slow and fast pieces.

Like Hansen (and Sascha Paeth currently), Grapow was the best songwriter and guitarist of Helloween when he was in the band. He is a riff master, and a great solo player as well. E.g. his riffs kill in Push, and his solos are mostly very good. Less variety in his solos than Hansen, and at times you can hear Malmsteen in him, but his forceful attack in his playing really was a good thing for Helloween. And you gotta love his melodic and speedy qualities in The Chance and Someone's Crying.

Yeah I love Kai Hansen but I only have the two Keeper albums from Halloween, cheers Foro :)

Also no Malcolm Young? Whaaaaaaaatttt. I think hes even better than Angus Young! Jupz is sad :(
Haven't heard a few of these, but I hope Andy LaRoque can manage to get through, amazing guitarist. H and Dave deserve to go through (obviously :p), and I hope Tipton and Hammett get through too.

Wow, I respect your opinion, but wow :P Angus is a much better showman and guitarist and plays all the cool/interesting parts in AC/DC. That's like saying that Izzy Stradlin is better than Slash. But OK, everyone is entitled to his own opinion :P
 
Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME! Elimination - Group 4: Round 1

I don't like to download music, and theres so much other stuff I have to buy, and I'm quite poor :(

Also Malcolm wrote a lot of AC/DC's riffs. Angus definitely does NOT play all the interesting/cool parts. (IMO)

No.

I don't download music either, I use YouTube and Fizy to listen stuff, or the albums I've got. (All Maiden studio albums and Live After Death)

Polls like this are all about the flash of the solo and I'm OK with that.
But in the unsung world of hard rock rhythm guitarists, Malcolm Young is God.
The only player that can even sniff his stratosphere of the classic power riff is Iommi.
 
Re: BEST GUITARISTS EVER GAME! Elimination - Group 4: Round 2

I agree, although Iommi>Malcolm in my eyes, they are both in my top 10 probably (Iommi is 1).
