    Best Guitarist in the world = John Williams.

        didn't say "best"... i said fast... and it sounded perfect.. hit every note. "Fast" isn't always best, but its still very very impressive. but i wouldn't doubt it if he'd be rated up there as the best. definately the fastest.

                Fastest guitar player was Alvin Lee from Ten Years After - this is a comment Jimi Hendrix made in 1969 and I believed him then and now

                  mullet....
                  heh

                  The rare Metalutt,, often found in small biker bars, reminiscing of the old days, picking up over weight ladies wearing mini skirts. Can be found wearing a cut off Iron Maiden shirt, tight pants, sometimes spandex, and usually has long dangly earrings in both ears.
                  Very dangerous to approach, only professional mullet hunters should attempt to photograph this species.

                                  thats so metal, god bless you. I saw that shit advertised here a week ago and I knew I should have went. It was at a total dive and was billed as some 80s speed metal god, used the same exact pic you posted in the advertisement. I will forever regret not going to that now.

                                  I even skipped Yngwie Malmsteen, I regret that one as well.

                                    Go download some Al Dimeola or John McLaughlin... or if you like metal Morbid Angel or Cannibal Corpse.

                                    Glam metal relics are cool and all, but you may want to educate yourself here on speed AND quality before making such claims.

                                        faster but never as technical.

                                        you never hear death metal or grind guys running up and down the scales like that.

                                          I posted this the other night, but for those who missed it

                                          this is also vry fast (and I guess a relic since they came out in the 80's)

                                          Cryptic Slaughter - Lowlife

                                          and even some Nitro featuring Michealangelo:

                                          Nitro - Freight Train
                                          (all about the final guitar solo)

                                                that is a true pity if you cant appreciate 80s metal in all its forms.

                                                that shit made me want to buy some black levis, peg them, buy some higthtop reeboks and sow a god damn exodus back patch on my levi jacket.

                                                      Extreme Aggression is one of the greatest albums of all time.

                                                          I am on my 5th beer and my 3rd listen of the entire Too Fast For Love album. Not that it even remotely relates to 80 speed metal, it rules none the less. RULES

                                                                          speed/thrash metal was never about mullets. dont get me wrong, I love mullets as much as the next guy. But us thrash and speed metal kids were never mullet types. We are the forefathers of black and death metal... no mullets.

                                                                          mullets were in the guns and roses, ac dc type metal crowd.

                                                                                            I started out learning old Metallica and shit like that, and quickly learned that the slower you play the more emotion is in the music. Adam Jones from Tool is a prime example. The music doesn't even need vocals to convey the feeling.

                                                                                              there are some amazingly fast guitar players in bluegrass and rockabilly too...

                                                                                              I went and saw Brian Setzer a couple months ago and he can play fast as hell....his solos were amazing...I almost left a wet spot in the chair.....
                                                                                              Heh, come to think of it, Ry Cooder (who is also n my list) played some of Ralph's stuff in that movie. Ry is also blazing, blazing, blazing fast on the banjo. Ry and Toy Caldwell are both rockabilly/folk/bluegrass artists and they can both hold their own with and even surpass many of the rock legends.

                                                                                              I'm not really familiar with Brian Setzer's guitar prowess but I assume a wet spot means he was good

                                                                                                    I started out learning old Metallica and shit like that, and quickly learned that the slower you play the more emotion is in the music. Adam Jones from Tool is a prime example. The music doesn't even need vocals to convey the feeling.
                                                                                                    heh, actually thats not what i thought to myself...

                                                                                                    it was being advertised over the radio that the fastest guitar player in the world is playing at a local guitar shop, so of fucking course i'd go, if you didn't and u've played guitar for a long time you'd be stupid not to, cause it was also advertised as a clinic, learned a lot from it as well...

                                                                                                    i also grew up listening / learning metallica... they're my fav. band. i think for the most part you're right about the slower songs are more emotional... but, i think if there were a song with a melodic background with a very fast solo'ist performing, with the right scales and such, it could accomplish the same effect.
