i have only heard one clip by David Moore (on a guitar techniques CD which sadly I don't have) but it was the most smoking evil gothic and terrifying shred, some solos actually make me laugh out of shock and surprise because they're so ****ing hot. This guy's unreal. Both he and Tipton are nastier than Malmsteem (treblier more nasal tone jagged pinch harmonics that could crack steel) but retain his perfect technique and melodic flair. Why are tbere so few Malmsteem votes? I prefer Satch to Malmsteem but I think that he and Vai should be wetting themselves this G3 tour because Malmsteem's still one of the most consistently frightening players to be of this earth. Yeah Kurk Hammett's and Dimebag are good but they're not even in the same league technically as these guys. Then there's patrick Rondat, Michael Romeo and George Bellas, I've not heard much but they're tremendous. I think it's high time Pettrucci played a G3, he's a freak! Long live dream theater.
