Why Is The "100 Greatest Metal Guitarists" Book Total Trash? 5/30/09

Bob Nalbandian joins THE CLASSIC METAL SHOW to tear apart the absolute idiocy found in Joel McIver’s “100 Greatest Metal Guitarists” book. We expose the technical snobbery that ignores the legends who actually built this genre while elevating “shredders” nobody gives a damn about. If you want the real story of metal history without the pretentious garbage, you’re in the right place.
