.....joe bores you? vai bores you? only the two most versatile and craziest guitarist of the age bore you? whats wrong with your ears man? I know you got an opinion of your own but i dont think that stament can ever been really true for anyone.

For one thing, Satch and Vai's audience is almost exclusively musicians with a heavy emphasis on guitarists (which should tell you something) and for another, I know a lot of very talented musicians who agree with him.

Shred isn't for everybody; your "two most versatile and craziest guitarist of the age" are somebody else's "boring, mindless guitar wankers."

And as this is all subject to taste, you both would be right.
