Well personally, I think Mustaine is better than all of those. Don't get me wrong though, they're good guitarists. I think attitude and coolness plays a big part in making him a god (in my books). But if I was judging them as guitarists, I wouldn't let that cause any bias. I didn't mention his lyrics either.

Mustaine isn't even my favourite rhythm guitarist. I think Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth) is better.

Also, despite the fact he's no Bruce D1ckinson or Mercury, he has a lot of good healthy thrash anger in his voice.

I agree with everything you've said.

Mustaine is brilliant.

I think Mustaine while being a little more lead oriented, is a good combo of rhythm and lead abilities (obviously no Jon Schaffer in the rhythm departmen, but who is?) His singing isn't good, but the fact he can sing AT ALL while playing the **** he does is a feat in and of itself.

I didn't understand that statement much but let me try and cut it down to what I understood.

His guitar playing is amazing but he is no John Shaffer, his vocals aren't great but he does amazing riffs and amazing tunes while singing?

Is that right LoL!?

I understood it perfectly. I can't see what was wrong with it, apart from it a typo and a missing full stop which didn't obscure the meaning.
