So, Kerry King: most overrated guitarist, or merely the most overrated West Coast thrash guitarist?
Discuss.

simon666 - 2015-08-09 Sorry. Best metal guitarist. Paul Ryan is up there too.
Also, Slayer's influence is pretty great. Without Slayer, there would be no At the Gates.

EvilHomer - 2015-08-09 I'd probably go with Devin Townsend myself. He's not the best metal guitarist from a purely technical standpoint, but he's the probably best all-around musician and "creative" talent in the scene - while still managing to remain a decent, intelligent human being. He's one of those rare "musician's" musicians who, despite his skills, isn't also an asshole.
From a technical standpoint, I think the best (i.e. most naturally talented/ technically adept) guitarist I've seen is/was Shawn Lane. From a purely songwriting perspective, maybe Mikael Akerfeldt.

OK, I love Slayer but this is unwarranted.
