Best there isn't one. MaidenFans would have been humiliated by Homey's 1337 Madien Web Siet - Not 4 n00bs That sUxx0rZ.

I would say we can be very very happy with these results. Those catgories should rathe get called "most famous" than "best". Because most people, including me, write down their faves and not the ones one thinks are the best technically etc..

So we should stop that bitching that Kirk isn't good enough. It just means that he is more famous than Dave. But does that matter to us?

Actually not, and besides I like Kirk Hammet and enjoyed the Metallica Live-Shows a lot.
