Just wanted to share. Didn't like it?

edit: I stumbled on it and thought it was relevant. I liked it a lot, myself. He seems to have gotten better at playing that thing. The first time I saw him play it I didn't really like what he played, but this time it was much better. :)
even back in the shredder days i never liked the guy or his music, but i respect his technical prowess.

Most of Van Halen's music is pretty poo, apart from "Jump". Angus Young, now that's a guitarist...
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or nationalism. :olo:

Just personal taste. Angus Young's a scottish australian, I'm a british mongrel. Eddie's a great player too....

Yngwie is pretty good but he's a fucking wanker. there are way better metal guitarists out there, namely Kerry King and Jeff Hannemen (Slayer), Chuck Schulinder (Death) and more recently Alexi Laiho (Children of Bodom) who is unbelievably good.

but better than all of them are jazz fusion guitarists John McLaughlin and Al di Meola and flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia. check out Friday night in San Francisco live album, best guitar playing u will ever hear

If your drummer spins his drumstick while playing, your band sucks. Fact.

Any mention of Paul Gilbert? (cba reading through 8 pages of opinion-argument bullshit)

Anyone who thinks he's just a 'shredder' should give a listen to some stuff from the Acoustic Samurai album. Fun stuff :)

Are you high, by any chance? You called Yngwie a wanker, then referred to Slayer? Jesus fuckin' christ :olo:

I don't think I've ever heard Alexi play anything terribly inventive, most of the solo ideas I've heard him play are some simple motif played at 300mph, then shifted up 2 semi-tones. Granted, I haven't heard his entire catalogue but I've heard at least 10 or so songs over 3-4 albums. Should be enough to get a decent sampling of his styles.

Never heard of that Chuck guy, though.

yes... i cant really see anything wrong with that statement?! slayer play fast aggressive lead to fit the fast aggressive kinda music they make and they can actually write songs. yngwie cannot write a song to save his life and he makes 'albums' for the sole purpose of showcasing his [admittedly considerable] talents on guitar. that makes him a wanker! have u ever actually listened to any of his music?! the cheesiest, most obnoxious garbage ive ever heard!

So why SHOULD someone make an album, if not to showcase their talents?

to showcase their songwriting ability, not just their technical ability on their instrument....

Diamond Darryl is sick. To anyone who disagrees about his legendship, watch some of his shit on youtube. That guy masters guitar.

Also, not a legend, but I like his shit.. Scott Ian is cool as fuck on guitar.
