Forgot to mention, the reason why I'm looking for these sounds is that I 
listened again recently, after many years, to some songs by Yngwie 
Malmsteen on Youtube, and then a few metal-themed melodies of my own 
started to echo in my head. So that's the kind of sound I'm looking for.
Classic-era metal - Malmsteen, Manowar. Maybe not quite as dark as 
Metallica but their guitars don't sound bad per se.
Actually, I wouldn't mind a sound as aggressive as a thrash metal 
guitar, but it will not be used for that kind of music.

I don't care if it's sampled or synthesized, as long as I can use it 
with Linux. I don't even care if it's hardware or software. As long as I 
can use a regular MIDI keyboard to play, it's fine. I'm a keyboard 
player. :-)
Combinations such as routing a keyboard sampler (set on "unplugged 
guitar") through a hard or soft guitar distortion, are fine.
