[Bcoble0927]

mahummed, Karl Sanders he's a great composer, listen to his saurian meditation and all of niles stuff is great, and Pat O' Brien

I wish I had more to offer this thread than just saying that Chuck Schuldiner is the man....










...but I don't, so Chuck rules.

CHUCK,TREY

also casey robertson of the band fleshtized. he picks 6 notes a beat at 180 bpm. i saw it with my own eyes. truly one of the greatest unknown players.

I don't know if it was Noodles or whoever when to the Necro concert said that their other guitarist is actually better than Muhammed. He posted some videos, and I have to agree. But then again, he did write Onset Of Putrefaction, which may I add is the most br00tall album of the decade.

Karl is a pretty good player, but I wouldn't call him the "Best".

Sami might play with a smoother style then muhammed. But muhammed is more impressive to watch in my opinion; and he didn't just write onset... he wrote everything necrophagist had ever played. Excluding Symbiotic in Theory, which was partly written by christian, which is also IMO they're crappiest song ever. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that it still kick ass!

Karl Sanders has a lot more then technical ability going for him. The guy just envisions compositions. I wouldn't say kalr is best either, but he's certainly in the elite group and I'd definitely call Dallas and Karl the greatest duo in death metal at the moment.

I'd also like to give Luc Lemay honorable mention. Whoever wrote "Obscura" needs some sort of attention...

Paul Masvidal

Chuck is, was and always will be the greatest in my eyes, but he sure had a knack for picking awesome sidekicks!

Chuck Schuldiner
Trey Azagthoth
James Murphy
Paul Masvidal

I actually also really loved the sound of Chuck's voice...

 

[hunter75]

Pat O'Brien...why no one else has really mentioned him is uknown check the vid for frantic disembowlment, and I'll wack Chuck in because he got me into death metal \m/

Not in Order

The guys from vile, "Deafening Silence" is an awesome song.

Chuck of course

Jack Owens, I've always liked his style over Pat O'Brien, he added something different on the table when he was still with cannibal corpse.

Trey Azagthoth

And ofcourse, Muhammed

 

[Crucified]

Pat O'Brien/jack owen together.

I honestly don't consider death to be death metal, They were always a thrash band to me. i'd go on big thrash kicks with them and anthrax and sepultura and shit.
Death metal me is more along the other guys in here like nile, cannibal corpse, morbid angel, obituary and shit. Could just be splitting hairs here though.

 

[Maniacal]

The Origin guys are very good guitarists.

 

[Jerich]

JJ from Vile/Devine Rapture..and Monstrosity touring guitarist is a friend of mine he is as good a drummer as guitarist!! and a Killer dude...just so you all know it!!!


Bob Vigna IMMOLATION
Eric Rutan-hate eternal
Brian Griffin-Broken Hope
Luc Lemay-Gorguts/Negativa
James Murphy-everything he's done..
Bill Steer-CARCASS
KARL SANDERS-Nile

[god9]

He's an amazing drummer too.

 

[Metal Ken]

After watching the Vital Remains dvd, I have to mention Dave Suzuki too, the guy shreds.

After seeing them live 3 times and watching the DVD, i have to agree ;p

 

[Metal Ken]

"This Bud's for you!"

 

[Martin_777]

Chuck for songwriting.
Muhammed for technique.
Jesper & Björn from In Flames for melodies & harmonies.

 

[CondemnedInfect]

I'm surprised that only 2 people have mentioned Luc Lemay as being incredible.
Id have to say
Chuck
[SIZE=-1]Muhammed[/SIZE]
Luc Lemay
Karl Sanders
also id have to say that i just saw decrepit birth and that even tho they arent the greatest, Matt Sotelo and the Odious Mortem guitarists are absolutely amazing and everyone should check them out.
