Get out of here, John Petrucci NEEDS to be on this list. THANK YOU!!!

And is Joe Perry even metal?

Answer 2

Vivian Campbell. there is proof on his songs "Invisible," "Rainbow in the Dark," "Stand up and Shout," and many more. Many would say Eddie Van Halen, but I am going to have to stick with old Vivian.

Paul gilbert, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen, Dave Mustaine, Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, Lars Johansson

Answer 3

Metallica, but Bullet ofr my Valentine and avenged sevenfold are better but they were fromed in the 2000s and metallica in the 80s so its has been pupular for longer.

Here's my opinion, for what it's worth -

Dave Murray / Adrian Smith (partnership, Iron Maiden)

Dave Mustaine (lead guitar, Megadeth)

Glenn Tipton / KK Downing (partnership, Judas Priest)

Lars Johansson (criminally underrated lead guitarist from Candlemass)

Viv Campbell (lead guitar, Dio, Whitesnake, Def Leppard)
