| The March 2004 issue of Guitar World magazine includes a list of the 100 greatest heavy metal guitarists as selected by the magazine's staff. "This is not a list that ranks who can play the fastest or with the most taste, feeling or technique (although many players on our list have all of those arrows in their quiver)," the editors stress in the accompanying introduction. "It is, rather, a tribute to the great men who smurf poo iron and piss stainless steel razor blades, and do it every time they plug into an amplifier."

| This list is just stupid
Head and Munky? - They shouldn't even be on a top 1000 list!
- How the hell can they be greater than Vai, Nugent, Skolnick, etc?
This list is just pure stupidity | |

| Why do Metallica and AC/DC have both guitarists listed at the same spot. Do you need both to be better than Rhoads and Van Halen? | |
