Lee Gaze of Lostprophets.
Anyone like to argue with that?

Daron Malakian is an excellent guitarist also - though I felt he was too egotistical on Hypnotize/Mesmerize when he decided he should be the vocalist as well.

I can understand where you are coming from, but I think his voice still works in some songs. Lonely day is a good song imo.

Les Paul. Do I need to expand on that?

Also:

Brian May is the guitar god's guitar god. The man was a monster. He built his guitar from scratch with his bare hands because no other guitar that already existed could possibly channel his ferocity adequately.

I couldn't say it better myself, really.

Ben Weinman of The Dillinger Escape Plan, for his spontaneous playing, and ecstatic live performances. Second place goes to Andy Williams of Every Time I Die, mainly for his really nice sounding riffs, I prefer the riffs from Champing at the Bit more than any solo I've ever heard.

I think it's a decent song, but you have to admit it isn't a System of a Down song - the same goes for She's Like Heroin (minus the decent part) and Lost in Hollywood. And to a lesser extent Kill Rock 'n' Roll.
They're decent enough but they're slow "rock" songs.
I don't mind his singing when he's just doing his harmonizing with Serj - or little bits of a song which suit his voice (a la Hypnotize and Prison Song) - but I think when he just concentrated on the guitar riffs he was better.

Very off-topic, for which I apologise.

In apology, I'll add Dan Hawkins to my list. If you don't know who he is, shame on you.
Or if you really hate his brother Justin

Superb riffs.
