My vote goes to Kirk. The solo in Master Of Puppets in the best solo ever written, and no one can defeat his awesome skills. Here is the his true skills as a guitar player.

Do you think that any member of Metallica is the best at all the things they do?

Oh well, here is to be a hypocrite after I have named Nine Inch Nails live members for all my choices...

Robin Finck is technically excellent... aaaaaaaaand super cool so he gets my vote...

I still await vocalist and keyboards...

Kirk Hammet is the real deal. Did you watch the entire solo? It's 10X better than anything Hendrix could come up with. Hendrix has really good skill, so don't say Im bashing him.

Technically, none of these guitarists are that great. Musically, I don't think they're amazing either.

I have seen and played the solo. Fun, but not that amazing.

Nothing compares to Jimi Hendrix and how he revolutionized the guitar and made it a necessity to a band, even made the guitar the most important instrument. without him, music would have a totally different sound. At least, that is what the guy for Rolling Stones said :P

The guy from Rolling Stones is mistaken. Kirk is the metal god...Not even Iron Maiden could play Kirks solo's.

Stefan Koglek, he makes guitars SING. Like, I will try to sing along to his guitar melodies. No other guitarist does that to me.

Are you serious? Pretty much any professional guitar player can play songs competently, this means they can follow a tbs sheet or whatever...

Technically? Probably some wanker like Yngwie Malmsteen, as far as rock goes.
Musically? J Mascis.

Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Chuck Schuldiner, Karl Sanders, Jimi Hendrix, Mikael Akerfeldt, and many others. They're all better than Kirk. :P

Please stop embarrassing yourself. I would say the best guitarist of all time would have to be Jimi Hendrix, Randy Rhoads or Eric Clapton

Electric Ladyland is proof enough that he isn't :o

And Nine Inch Nails live shows with Robin Finck are further proof...

Master of Puppets is one of my favorite songs of all time, but Kirk is not the best. He's even very sloppy at times. Randy Rhoads could play circles around Kirk. R.I.P. Randy.

Ok, I guess they had someone else playing with them. :| Maybe you should watch this video then. You can clearly see him failing to play his own song.

Best in the area of technicality, Michael Angelo Batio. But since M.A.B.'s music is pretty robotic and souless, I'd have to say John Petrucci. He has amazing technical skill, and his guitar work actually has feeling. Kirk Hammett is a good guitarist, he's just not even remotely close to being the best.

My vote goes to either Jimi Hendrix or David Gilmour. They wrote some of my favorite melodies.
