I like metal. Powerviolence, Emo Violence, Skramz, Grindcore and Noisecore to be exact. Who doesn't love Napalm Death and Hot Cross?

Don't bother, they're both incredibly over-rated. Instead, try these: Guthrie Govan - Undisputed master of the guitar. Arguably the best alive, he plays jazz-fusion. But don't be put off; even though you said you want more rock than jazz, this guy can definitely deliver what you're looking for. His album "Erotic Cakes" may be hard to track down, but the effort is WELL worth it. Video of him playing "Fives" - (Don't be put off by the beginning - skip to 1:40 to see him shine. Your mind will be demolished.) Andy Timmons - You want Steve Vai? This guy is signed to his label. He also plays a kind of fusion, but he leans more to the rock side. He doesn't shred much, but when he does, you KNOW the guy has earned his spot on Vai's label. His last.fm - www.last.fm/music/Andy+Timmons Listen to Electric Gypsy and Groove or Die. I think you'll be impressed. Neil Zaza - This guy can do just about anything with the guitar. He shreds, he grooves, he jams. His sense of melody is unbelievable, and his phrasing is incredible. He covers a lot of classical pieces and composes lots of original material as well. If you like Satriani, you'll like this guy. last.fm/music/Neil+Zaza
