Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman (Slayer)


To describe Slayer's guitar tandem as "uncompromising" is a gross understatement. From the jaw-dropping speeds at which King and Hanneman play ("Angel of Death" begins at 210 beats per minute) to the cyclones of tinny notes that pass for "guitar solos," the prickly pair took thrash metal to its high-velocity extremes in the mid-'80s and inspired innumerable underground metal bands (and even Tori Amos) to go further and faster. Somehow between their wrist-wrecking flurries, they've uncovered every evil-sounding harmony available on a fretboard.
Most Heroic Moment: All 29 glorious minutes of Slayer's warp-speed thrash masterpiece, 1986's Reign in Blood. K.G.

That list covers alot of genres. I`d take KK & Glenn or Dave & Adrian before Slayer or AC/DCs tandem!!!!

Kurt Kobain was profitable...the only reason he is mentioned ever

Indeed. Kurt Cobain? Really?? Basic stuff.

i think the fact that a courtney love signature model guitar was actually produced is worse

[tom]

Cobain was ok but that ugly whore deserves to be ditched

[Woutjinho]

He should have aimed at her

[tom]

or maybe she should've shot herself instead of him
