This is absolutely insane. Modern metal has been pushing so many boundaries since its such a hard genre to get into. Some obscenely amazing guitarists have emerged in the last decade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y275DyRjfjE&list=PLThcv0otcWAky-ARCy7xbfhgt1f4o3qhz&index=65 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y275DyRjfjE&list=PLThcv0otcW... And 15 years? Dream Theater has been around for 20 years (with modern lineup), and nobody in their right minds would not put John Petrucci at the top of any guitarist list https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGFuOFenVbk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGFuOFenVbk

  So your response to the guitarists who are known for being obscenely technical, and for DT currently owns the world record for most time signature changes in a song is "inanity". A person who has been lead guitarist, main producer, writer and singer for multiple bands and current/longest lasting member of G3? Modern metal has become insanely competitive with young bands competing against each other to be sky high technical, since that's the main differentiation these days. What does a modern guitarist need to do? Be the literal re-incarnation?
