So while they are influential, and while your death/black metal or your grudge/alternative rock has been evolving you seriously can't consider the bands to be as influential as Beethoven, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Miles Davis etc. |

Sorry, he didn't, that's a myth. In fact, he probably never even used well-tempered tuning as we know it today. |

I think Andre Segovia. He took the guitar which was usually played in pubs into the concert hall and spawned a whole new generation of guitarists. |
