Tom G. Warrior
One of the guitarists on this list who progressed the fastest. In Hellhammer he was playing second rate Venom riffs, but that quickly changed. In the early days of Celtic Frost he was playing simplistic rhythms, but the tone was thick, heavy and dark. The band did their own thing and Warrior's guitar sound was at the heart of that mentality. They made the leap to "Into the pandemonium" which was one the most experimental mental albums of the 80's and most of it came off brilliantly. Warrior's style grew on that album as well and his sound has been an influence on bands in different sub-genres for the last twenty plus years.
