:clap: F*ckin' ay, man. I mean, i like some metal, namely Hammet, but mostly i get turned off from just fast and loud guitar playing. I think songwriting is a major thing when disussing a great guitarist. How the artist uses note corabinations and whatever, putting together melodies and rhythms, and basically what sounRAB good. I like Hammet cause I think he can do both - he can play loud and fast and make it sound great. But generally loud and fast does not always sound good, IMO.
