Monday, June 16th, 2008 by Metal Hammer
From a riffster to the guys that steal the limelight with their fret-flying solo’s with the Dimebag Darrell Shredder award. Your shredders are: Dino Cazares of Divine Heresy, Jesper Stromblad of In Flames, Michael Amott of Arch Enemy, Dan Donegan of Disturbed and Alexi Laiho of Children Of Bodom.
And the winner is…Alexi Laiho! In the modern era, there’s no one out there that touches this guy for shred. He’s a fucking virtuoso! Alexi - we truly are not worthy.
