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

satch isnt a mindless wanker in any sense. at least his newer stuff. he has quite a lot of non shred songs which are quite hard not to enjoy. and im not talking just for myself or just for musicians. and Eddie being boring? come on....after so many notes that arnt grunge-y enough make you sick? at that point its not taste, its wanting to stick to an idea of what is good music. yeah we all got opinoins, but thats just bad musical taste...especially for a guitarist
