200 greatest guitarists in rock (electronic, blues, funk, metal, single)

Since I've made it very clear that I don't like to use words like "emotion" or "feeling" when it comes to someones musicianship, I prefer to use the word "energy".

And I do think that's one thing Petrucci greatly lacks. He sounds insanely robotic even by metal guitarist standards.

Fair enough... I can agree to that.

jesus, have you ever heard of metal?

Because that's who the newer guitarists were influenced by... it's called respect. You can't just go pulling the foundation of rock music out from under the newer guys that you like... the whole thing would collapse.
