YES!i read that 2!i'm probably postin a bit l8 but i'v never been in this section of the forum.hey, i know a place where u can buy a vai book of tabs!i think it streches over 2 cds.it's bout an inch thick.i'm sure u'd find it in a shop near u.but i 4get what it's called.hey, r u gonna get the metal special of TG?or do u already hav it?is it NE good cos i'v not got the money 4 it right now an i want 2 know if it's worth gettin wen i do hav the money (it's cos i'm 15)

I DID get Total Guitar for a short while, but then they put the price up and took the number of pages down drastically, and i'd thought it was a bit overpriced before that.

[Styxx]

really?i hadn't noticed.but then i didn't get it regularly 4 quite a while.i had like 3 issues in a year.an they changed the layout a lot.then i got it every month an it's not changed since then.a couple months ago though they had a poster with amp settins for 33 different tunes each by different bands/artists.it's all good.

[stratman42]

Yeh, but £5.99??? More than a bit over-priced for a magazine, methinks. Guitar world (does that still exist?) is/was £3.50. Ok, so it didnt have the CD, but they said that was free anyway!

[Styxx]

yeah, but chances are that's a marketing scam!i'll ask my business studies teacher bout it.wait..........just lookin @ the latest issue and the "Xmas 2000" issue they both £4.99, not £5.99 an neither sez FREE CD, just CD.no free there at all!oh well.hey, if ne1'z a flashy money spender type guy/gal go 2 http://www.simsled.co.uk !they got sum gr8 stuff there!

[Styxx]

well..err...i'm guessin it's like pawnografitti.but spelled p-o-r-n not p-a-w-n, right?

[lalimacefolle]

I've heard faster solos, I think, those were based on 'famous rock guitarists with long hair and spandex' weren't they?

[lalimacefolle]

shawn lane's for example, he kicks Vai's ass single handedly

[James8831]

I dont believe that p o r n is censored and Metal isn't.


















:D

Anybody hear Jimmy Page's early stuff??

[Styxx]

metal.if u mean on the CDs it's cos u can put wot u want on an u just gotta put "parental advisory" on it.if u hear it on radio an TV (i not sure bout musik channels) it's sensored!

it was fastest solos of the 80s.

[hrckid]

you really got me was 70's mate on Van Halen I. I think it was just the mega fast playing thing was just "in" then. There {thankfully} seems to be more to it now.

[Styxx]

what?that 1st sentance makes no sence!

[hrckid]

"you really got me" was a cover version on their first album "Van Halen". This was , incidently , released in the 1970's. Hope this is clearer for you. This is why I don't think it was a list of the fastest solo's of the 80's. I also think p o r n o g r a f f i t t i was from the 1990's.

[pstring]

After reading the list, I think Total Guitar Rag needs to do a better job of researching their articles, some of the solos list aren't even the fastest for the artists listed, and the solos are from the 70's, 80's and 90's

ya rekon?
hey mr hrckid, thanx 4 clearin that up 4 me!i don't really know much van halen or anythin like that cos i listen 2 all the new stuff that's just been born.i still thinkthrash metal is gr8!it's just i don't listen 2 it, with the exception of MetallicA.i know a few songs, like staway to heaven, just not many.to be honest i think that is how metal musik should be, but people have lost the ability to do all that now!even the big M!(lissten 2 their album Garage Inc.!u'll c what i mean!)maybe Vai can still do it, but he's bout the only person.an maybe nick sterling.he's real cool, not famous, but he played like 70 shows in a year with this band!an he's 11 years old!

[Benoit]

I totaly agree with pstring. I heard a song from Gilbert (can't remember the name, it was on a compilation of greatest solos) that blew my mind away. And it was really faster than Damage inc. It's a pretty fast song but come on!

[Styxx]

i think there was sum rules.like tremlo picking 1 note and trills and stuff dosn't count or sumthin.i'd check, but i can't b othered 2 look through all the ****e in my bedroom 2 find it.

my sweet little ass

[Styxx]

u wot?
