Thats how things stand, I dunno how many people know Shawn Lane or Jason Becker, but probably a lot of people know Synester Gates.
Either way I am actually sick of people whining and making stupid remarks, there was a paki guitarist who claimed Yngwie was dumb and he could own his ass anyday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLb09HoKPlU)
He made an album with a band named Steeler, just for fun. I bet most bands will die just trying to put that quality in their best efforts. He shreds on a strat, I almost broke mine while trying to do some sweeps. Oh and he plays using a scalloped neck, so his control is amazing too.
And remember, if you throw water on him, He’ll unleash his focking fury 8) http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/Blabbe … temID=8100

Having said all this, my favorite will always be Eddie van Halen.
Malmsteen won’t always be the best. That’s impossible. Just like someone will be better than Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. It’s human to improve and become better.
However like you said, Malmsteen pioneered something that was new and innovative. People will be better at something that he created, but the point is that they wouldn’t even have it without him. Haters who refuse to acknowledge those who came before them, show their ignorance from that act alone. It’s like some orchestra composer saying Beethoven or Mozart suck, because he can write more complex music than them. Malmsteen perfected a technique that guitarist will forever use. Others will make it better than him, but he will always be the first Grandmaster of [u]HIS[/u] technique. Let others claim they can do better than Malmsteen - they unknowingly pay tribute by learning how to play [u]HIS[/u] technique. 8)
And yes… I agree that Eddie van Halen is also a god, who shall sit at the right hand of Jimi Hendrix when his ascension comes. :o
I like these guitarists, “gods”, shredders… whatever the hell you wish to call them… but I tend not to be a fan of the solo in comparison to a layered musical score. Anyway… metal rules!
Okay, my pointless and unneeded mewling is done now…
You forgot a good atmospheric death growl… it would have been perfect then.
Actually, that is quite serious for the most part. Tristania’s ‘Beyond the Veil’ and ‘World of Glass’ are two of my favourite albums and that is basically the formula.
… on a comletely unrelated subject: I made it two weeks without a computer, TV, or gaming system. And since I ignore all phones on principle anyway, I guess you could say I was disconnected from society for that time… it was wonderful. I need to do it again.
Blasphemy!!! Heresy!!! you heretics are hereby condemned to hell :twisted:
Either way, if you dont want to live like 40% of your lives, thats your call.
Actually, I don’t really care for chocolate either, so you aren’t alone. When I was younger I liked candy and such, but these days I don’t eat much in the way of sweets. I just don’t have the taste for it as much anymore. When I do have something sweet, I am more likely to have a baked good instead of candy.
Light is overrated though. Yuno Gasai has probably killed more people than Light, and she’s done it all for the hope that she’ll lost her virginity to the one (and only) person she ever loved. :twisted:
