I generally don't like comparing guitarists since they are all great in their own way, but since Im bored and Marty Friedman has more classical training Ill vote him.
who is Marty Friedman??? which band is he in?
Marty Friedman is mostly known for being in Megadeth, but he also had a Classical inspired Metal Duo with Jason Becker known as Cacophony which produced albums likes Speed Metal Symphony. Also very good solo stuff. Check him out.
Ooh! damn his name sounded so familiar. Now I remember. Marty kills Kerry when it comes to new more melodic riffs and solos. 90% of Kerry King's solos sound the same; same structure, lenght, and SOUND.Originally Posted by Bad Karma
So you're saying that the solo in Angel of Death is the same solo used in his other songs? I don't hear that. I like both these guys a hell of alot. Martin wins but when it comes to constructing destructive and explosive speed solos King wins the gold.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
No Kerry King's solos do NOT sound the same, he does use a structure, Listen to Kerry's solo on "War Ensemble" and "Die By the sword" You'll see that he actually is a pretty amazing soloist.Ooh! damn his name sounded so familiar.

I said 90%.
A pretty speedy one too. He must have powerful arm muscles to be able to go that fast. Even live nowadays he's a fast demon. Martin cannot get that fast but he's brilliant the way he is. King and Friedman are not very similar to compare though.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
That's the GREAT thing 'bout Kirk Hammett and Dave Mustaine, they can both do fast and melodic solos.
Didn't I say 90%??? Slayer's 1st album is way different than the others, so it's easy to pick out a solo from that album that's different fromt he rest.No Kerry King's solos do NOT sound the same, he does use a structure, Listen to Kerry's solo on "War Ensemble" and "Die By the sword" You'll see that he actually is a pretty amazing soloist.Ooh! damn his name sounded so familiar.

I may have exaggerated with the 90%, but ALOT of his solos sound the same.
PS: And I've listened to both of those songs, just letting you know.
What do they have to do with this thread? THis is Friedman and King's battle. No interference, not til the next time anyway. When it comes to speed it has to be King but he adds his own thing to stop from being just plain noise.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
Kerry King DOES do melodic solo's.That's the GREAT thing 'bout Kirk Hammett and Dave Mustaine, they can both do fast and melodic solos.
Such as "War Ensemble" "Mandatory Suicide" "Spirit in black"
Infact Kerry King does some cool <img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"><img src="/xxx.gif"> when he tunes his guitar down a whole step.

Yeah, just 200x faster then that of those guys. When he shreds his guitar sets alight, that's how fast and melodic King can do. How do you think he lost his hair? It caught fire during one of his fastest solos ever.
LET THE HAMMER FALL
He attempts them, but to compare them to the ones Kirk Hammett and Dave Mustaine have made is not fair. Marty Friedman pwns Kerry King when it comes to melodic solos and riffs.Kerry King DOES do melodic solo's.That's the GREAT thing 'bout Kirk Hammett and Dave Mustaine, they can both do fast and melodic solos.

How come Marty's didnt fall out yet?
Marty Friedman can do anything on guitar, Him and Mustaine should team up again.
No, Kerry King plays as well as mustaine, Trust me I know what the smurf I'm talking about, I play the smurfing guitar. The Styles are MUCH different and therefore sound different.He attempts them, but to compare them to the ones Kirk Hammett and Dave Mustaine have made is not fair.
