Post pictures from your guitarheros!

[Bobby]

Yeah this guy made me want to take up the Instrument at a very young age.


Dimebag

Cannibal Corpse was the first death metal band I listened to. It was when I was 12 and in math class. The music scared the shit out of me. I think thats what got me into it.


Jack Owen

I was at a pawnshop when I picked up a cd of his. I have been hooked since.


Steve Vai

This guy really made me want to check out a 7 string. He made it sound amazing unlike all the nu-metal bands of yesterday.

Heavy guitar heroes.

EVH

You couldn't find a better pic of EVH than that? That picture should be willed out of existence.

Mine have already been listed here, for the most part. The only one I didn't see? The most refreshing talent I've heard in more than 10 years.

I'd recommend you guys to get blown away by what I call TONE(just let it play the song "The New Beginning":

www.myspace.com/threatsignal

The TOP DOGS of our present days: these guys have it all: feeling, weight, speed, exquisite technique, creative force. My personal favorite band:

Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu from Trivium, Matt is my age, so I guess he is a closest reference than the other ones 'cause they're all old and walked around a lot. (note they hadn't had any tatoo done yet):

The dudes from Threat Signal, brutal sound, highly skilled and with good taste for everything from voicing to mixing: pic attached

+1 Threat Signal rules.
If you do a search, you'll find a couple of threads regarding them.

 

[Kakaka]

I know them for like three years or something but like their sound a lot.
It's funny to say it but I discovered these younger bands in a moment in which I started to think there was nothing else to be created in music, nothing new to be done.

For me, Trivium, Threat Signal, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Avenged Sevenfold (though some fanatic purists dislike them) have made in these last years a total revolution in music. Children of Bodom, Norther, Scar Symmetry, Soilwork too, but they come from north europe, and the revolution there never stopped ever since ABBA (hahaha!!!).

So here it comes, some more main stream, but brilliant composers and players with some huge heavy sounds and maybe the most atmospheric music created by metalcore musicians. From The Avenged Sevenfold:
Zacky Vengeance & Sinister Gates:

From The Black Dahlia Murder, oh boy, this is what I call BRUTAL!

 

[Kakaka]

Phil Keaggy. He's simply unbelievable with the electric and absolutely sings through the acoustic, as if that was just an extension of his soul...
If you check his videos at youtube.com you'll see what I mean.
