Welcome to the opening post for the second poll we are running in our series. Following on from what we learnt by running the World’s Greatest Living Guitarist Poll you can see that we are describing this as a People’s Favorite Poll to reflect the general consensus of voters in the first poll that the title reflect the true nature of the motivation behind voting choices.

So on to the fun bit…. below is the short list of metal guitarists that we came up with over a few very enjoyable hours of trawling through our music collections and mosh-pit memories. All additions are very welcome, even better if you let us know why. We’ll close the suggestions in a weeks time (Tuesday 9th) and then voting will take place between then and the last day of the month (Sunday 28th).
