Yes, Jason Becker can play fast, but so ****ing what? It seems to me that the people who talk **** about guitarists for being technical only listen to and comment on that aspect of their playing.
Keep in mind that there ARE other motives for people to listen to so called "shredders" than just their technical skills.
I think anyone who has the guts to say a certain player has no feel or emotion, and makes it a general statement in stead of a personal opinion, is a ****ing arrogant prick.
