John Petrucci competing for Loudwire's Greatest Metal Guitarist.

[Progmetty]

Somewhere there is an organized Pantera movement fighting back the last couple of hours heh

[bosk1]

The guy who wrote Slayers best tracks(and most of them anyways)? I wouldn't be upset if he won.

The major flaw in that logic is:  Slayer's best tracks are still, at the end of the day, Slayer tracks.

I agree and could say the same line with Pantera instead of Slayer.

[Viking of the Sagas]

Pantera fans have gained some ground. Probably because they're mostly from the United States.

Stay up 24/7 and mash the Petruccibutton to death!!11!!

[Meatrose]

Yeah, they're making a push, don't stop voting!

Keep voting guys!!

Keep voting guys!!

For John Petrucci.

[Jaffa]

Honestly, I'm really tempted to start voting for Dimebag, just because I think it would be funny to watch the reactions here if Petrucci lost.

I know, I know, I'm a horrible person.

You're only a horrible person if you follow through with that temptation. You still have a chance to save your soul, but only if you keep voting for JP.

I'm worried. Everytime DT won any of the last rounds on the last poll, their votes slowly grew in this same way, until the day the voting ended they had a superior score.

[senecadawg2]

I think we're losing it. Tell your friends and family to vote Petrucci!!!

I thought about posting it to Facebook, but all my friends are assholes and would vote against him just to be dicks.

I seriously doubt a bunch of Pantera fans just decided to vote right now somethings not right.

49.94....

[JonnyM93]

It seems to be going down at a constant rate... That and they decided to extend the deadline... I call foul play here.

God forbid Darrell wins.

Not to call it shits or anything, but it's really weird. I mean, I don't really think Pantera fans are that commited. Explosive, yes, perhaps they could have given a 99.99% of votes at the very beginning, but they're not attentive enough to keep voting every hour. I could be wrong, but that's my perspective.

Wow, that's incredibly insulting.

Of course there might be exceptions, but as I said, for the most part, that's what I get from them.

Also, in less than 5 minutes Petrucci fell down 0.05%. Which, in this case, is a lot. How come?

[Dark Castle]

Maybe Pantera fans are more attentive than you give them credit for

I have to agree here. If this were just the votes going up, I'd be fine and say this is just over-reacting, but the random decision to extend the deadline makes me very suspicious.

[Ravenfoul]

Voting myself.

[gmillerdrake]

I just can't believe Pantera folk are sober enough to concentrate hard enough to hit that small button to vote.  . Joking.. But there is something odd about it for sure. Doesn't add up unless all the other fans of the guitarists JP beat are just ticked.

  Then again, Dimebag was a hell of a Metal guitarist so it may just be fitting he wins. He still can't shres at a 1000 beats per minute and explode the world.

Shredding in and of itself isn't the greatest thing about playing the guitar. That being said, both Dimebag and JP are incredible guitarists and I'd be happy to see either one win this. I'm supporting JP because I'm more of a DT fan than I am a Pantera fan, but there are far worse candidates in that poll that JP could've lost to.

[Syzzle]

Everyone keep voting we've already retaken the lead
