Ready for our first quarterfinal matchup? We've got a tough one for you right off the bat, pitting an original master against a technical virtuoso.

Dream Theater's vituosic bassist John Myung has also been one of the favorites to win this competition from the very beginning. Myung has already scored victories over Cynic's Sean Malone and the iconic Steve DiGiorgio in Rounds 1 and 2, respectively. But can he defeat the great Geezer Butler?
