- Yes and no. INHO Tony Iommi is probably the best rhythm guitarist
- in the world. The things he plays are incredibly heavy especially
- if you remember that it is all one guitar. And he did influenced
- every existing metal guitarist. Unfortunately his lead guitar is
- not as exciting as that of other guitarist. But I think he knows
- that and his solos are kept to a minimum and are always part of
- the song.
-
- So as a lead guitarist I rank Moore and Rhoads over Iommi but as
- a rhythm guitarist I see things the other way around. (But Randy
- Rhoads played some amazing rhythm guitar as well.)
