Please, don’t blame us at Metal Addicts. This list is Total Guitar Magazine’s, and as we all know lists are pure controversy. I’m still asking where the hell are Weather Report’s Jaco Pastorius and, of course, Lemmy Kilmister. Just for a start. To avoid trouble, we must say that the list was crafted based on 126,000 reader votes. One more thing: Robert Trujillo? Are you kidding me? Take a look at it:
10. Roger Glover (Deep Purple)
9. Joe Dart (Vulfpeck)
8. Robert DeLeo (Stone Temple Pilots)
7. Marcus Miller
6. Michael League (Snarky Puppy)
5. David Ellefson (Megadeth)
4. Les Claypool (Primus)
3. Stanley Clarke
2. Robert Trujillo (Metallica)
1. Billy Sheehan (Sons of Apollo)
I’m just a lucky guy who has chosen metal to live with for a long time. Metal changed my life for good. It made me more confident and stronger. Metalheads are naturally far away from the mass mediocrity and don’t accept impostures from anybody else. Metal is more than music, it’s a life changing oportunity!
