I prefer Jon's soloing style, but I like Alex's writing. I'm not going to vote until I see BTA live with Jon, though.

I think Jon's style suits BTA better, but they're both equally good songwriters and guitarists.
Alex is really good with really fast shreddy stuff and Jon really shines in the groovier/more rock based solos (How Great Thou Art, Ex Nihilo) and such.
And though I voted for Jon in this thread, it's only because i feel he suits BTA better. Alex's creativity is MIND-BOGGLING (case and point: Apolutrosis).

It's really hard to compare the two. Both are amazing guitarists when loads of talent. I will say, however, that I think that Alex is more suited to Aletheian's style rather than BTA's.

Different styles, different guitarists. If we're choosing them solely on their skill, I'm not voting. But I agree with everyone else that Jon is probably more right for BTA than Alex.

Seth.
FTW!!!
Really tho, its retarded to compare..As far as Christian guitarists go..John, Alex and Derek Corzine are the best (imo).
Heck, in all honesty, I if I had the choice of putting like, either John Petrucci or the 3 dudes stated above in a band...By far, I would pick the 3 dudes..
oh my gosh..The power of John Star, Alex Kennis (spl), and Derek Corzine in a band...and seth could do al keys......and Duck could put Mike Portnoy to shame..And Wisdom could roar the band to victory.....
Dang..That'd be amazing..

Anyway. I'm not voting. They're both amazing guitarists that play in a different genre of metal (Jon- bluesy, smooth sounding stuff... Alex- A lot of shredding, but its really very intricate[technical] and defintitly passionate) I like them both.
And I hope BTA delete this thread. It's really silly.

Well this is not an absolute who's better kinda thing. Its an opinion kinda thing. If ya catch what im sayin  In terms of who i think is better? i dont think either is better in terms of skill when compared to eachother.. When it comes to style i really like alex's playing (epoch of war anyone?). He kicks major hiney in the riffing department...but he does the shredding fast picking thing a little too much. But his riffs are indeed crushingly headbangish melo death  ! Jon's style seems a little more prog-ish to me...but i love his solos (End Of the Age is sweet!  ) Although i dont like some of his riffs i do believe he is using his gifts from the lord for his glory . Heres a question How metal would it be if Alex re-joined Bta with Jon in the band too? 3 guitarists again baby! It'd be so metal the world would headbang with fury and wonder! At the glorious site of metal incarnate form heaven above! |

they both are just as good as each other, beause alex had to learn all the songs frorm TD and now Jon has to learn the songs from TPOF, which includes the solos. anyway why did you even do this poll? and i agree with byfire.
