Top Ten Guitarists Who Would Sound Good In Other Bands
Haha, I see a new Guns N' Roses song coming out - "Welcome to Wah Wah Paradise City"
David Scott "Dave" Mustaine (born September 13, 1961) is an American musician, singer, songwriter, actor and author. Mustaine is best known as a pioneer in Thrash Metal, being the former lead guitarist of Metallica before his dismissal in 1983, leading to finding and becoming the front man of his own band Megadeth shortly after. Isn't he too fast for Iron Maiden?
It happened, and it sounded amazing. When George Harrison temporarily left the group, John Lennon proposed they replace him with Eric Clapton, George's close friend. While that never came about, Eric does play an amazing solo on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
If He Was An Official Member, Man, That Would Be Awesome
Jeff Waters (born February 13, 1966) is a Canadian metal musician and founder of the metal band Annihilator. He's best known as the guitarist for Annihilator, appreciated for his fast riffs and solos. Waters is also the primary songwriter in the band. Very often he has taken on the role of lead singer, bass player, engineer and producer.
He has owned Watersound Studios Inc. since 1994.
At a young age he took some classical and jazz guitar lessons.
Notable songs include Alison Hell, Human Insecticide, The Trend, Ultra-Motion, Detonation. Jeff Waters (Annihilator) - Dave Mustaine actually wanted him in Megadeth in 1989-90. Jeff declined and Dave hired Marty.
Blind Guardian are very fast, too. Their complex symphonic-like arrangements and orchestral instrumentation would sound good with Yngwie.
He's a very solid rhythm guitar player and he can handle Metallica stuff. Moreover, I hear Hetfield's influence in Jon's playing.
Brian Elwin Haner, Jr., better known by his stage name Synyster Gates or simply Syn, is an American musician, best known for being the lead guitarist and backing vocalist of the band Avenged Sevenfold. This would work, well in my opinion
Kai Michael Hansen is a heavy metal guitarist and vocalist. Hansen is the founder, lead guitarist, and vocalist of power metal band Gamma Ray. He is also the co-founder and former member of German metal band Helloween. He's crazy fast and technical, yet melodic guitarist, so he would sound great on the Maiden stuff.
Jeff Loomis is an American musician, best known for his role as lead guitarist in the progressive metal band Nevermore and death metal band Arch Enemy. In the meantime he joined Arch Enemy (in 2015)
David Michael Murray is an English guitarist and songwriter best known as one of the earliest members of the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden.EDIT: I thought this item was a joke and my previous comment was in this context.
But I just learned Gemcloben actually can play guitar. I saw his YouTube videos and he's pretty good for his age. I didn't know he was so young.
I'm so sorry I wrote my first comment. Now I know that one day he may play for Judas Priest.

LOL, can't wait to see this!
@Ben, aka Gemcloben - Are you sure you're ready for that? :-)
