Joel McIver has been busy writing books about Metal for some time. Among his heavy hits:
Now, McIver has penned The 100 Greatest Metal guitarists, and Annihilator main man, Jeff Waters could not be more thrilled. McIver lists Waters as the #3 greatest metal axeman.
 Waters comments, “I'm delighted to be in Joel's book; not only because I was recognized in there (!) and that the research was so well done but because the guy obviously based most of the book on the reality factor rather than who is getting all the press and record sales. Most media is, understandably, driven to review and praise and feature artists whose labels/people are paying the big advertising bucks to get their artists in there… regardless of their actual talent. This book has the commercially-backed “superstars” of metal but also features some of the true talents in this prime and most-awesome form of music: HEAVY METAL!!! Well done, Joel”.
The see the rest of the list, you'll have to get the book, but suffice it to say, McIver knows a shredder when he hears one. Way to go, Jeff.
