I made this list because newer metal guitarists aren't well known.Both lead and rhythm guitarists.
Just to let you know, this item has been regularly SPAM VOTED since I submitted this list.
While I agree Brennan Dylan is a very good young guitarist with potential, I don't think he should be at #1, and even in the top 10, because he isn't more influential than the other guys on this list.
We need to hear more material by him - him and his band Men Without Armies hasn't been on the Metal Archives yet.
