michael angelo or yngwie malmsteen

no - english is not my first language. but feel free to correct me, Mr. Grammar-king.

sure...never start a sentence with "but". I think Yngwie would win personally..IMHO i think Angelo's music is boring. I like Micheal Romeo's music but i dont think hes the greatest.

I think Micheal Romeo is a good guitarist from what i have heard from symphony X. Just thinking about how simple and boring Tom Morello is. I dont understand how he could be so rubbish after being taught by angelo.

I bet angelo is really disapointed with morello !

I bet not.
Tom Morello can shred, but guitar playing is not about shredding only. He doesnt shred because he has no reason to. RATM was a really good band both live and in studio and they didnt need super fast solos to sound good. I dont like the whole "i can make guitar noises with my asshole" kind of soloing, but tom morello's playing in ratm wasnt about that only. Hes a great rhythm player, he writes good riffs and theres no place or need in fast solos in his songs.

You may think his riffs are good but they are simple. I dont think much of his soloing either. I agree that you dont have to shred to be good but he could at least make the solo's a bit more technical !

Some of Morello's early "Jazzy" solos are some of the most tasteful I've ever heard.

I think he does write good riffs, but he also tends to stick to a formula that has been kinda old since Evil Empire.

Tom is not a bad player by any means,but he is limited and very overated(due to other peoples lack of exposure).

I could sit down with a chrome slide and my whammy bar and crap out his 'unique' style.And has anyone heard about some sorta etcha-sketch type thing he has that he almost draws out his solos on???Just a rumor...but that would be extremley cheesy.

I would like to see the process he writes his stuff in.

Later! \m/

Morello's 'jazz' playing is nothing. The chording is about as generic as any jazz progression I could think of. The playing is always over one mode all the time, nothing spectacular.

When Les Claypool says that most people haven't even begun to hear what the man can do on a guitar, I take his word for it. Yeah, we haven't heard him do anything too terribly groundbreaking on an album, but if you care to listen to the word drifting out from the back stage area, the man's an absolute monster.

On a final note, I never said those jazz solos were revolutionary, complicated or difficult, I said they were tasteful.

"Michael Romeo is a god."

I second that motion!

I just downloaded a few vids of michael romeo playing some of symphony x solo's last night. He is really good and the guitar he uses looks just like mine :)

This Italian guy's pretty fast...

Go to the video section and download the 1:42 "Guitar Solo".

Impressive stuff.

A guitar duel? Please, grow up!

He also has ZERO songwriting or improvisational skills, can NOT play slow, NO sense of melody, and a practically nonexistent vibrato.

Besides, I've heard him play with a clean sound (as opposed to his regular hyper-distorted, over-processed/compressed sound), and he ain't hitting half of those notes.

Let me recommend something... a little more refined :D:

Whom are you talking about?

George Bellas, guitarist in Ring Of Fire. Before that, he talked **** about Francesco.

I must correct you on that..

George Bellas was guitarist for Ring of Fire for ONE album (not even one of their best albums by any means..). Their full time guitarist, both in the studio and on tour (and I'm assuming one of the big songwriters in the band), is the legendary Tony Macalpine.

But I do agree with you on George Bellas, he beats the pants off Francesco Fareri - although, they play totally different styles, I find them hard to compare.

On a side note, I have Francesco Fareri's album (I was pretty impressed with him after that Jemfest UK hype, and had high hopes he was going to be as cool as the US Jemfest's big guy, Rusty Cooley), and I can't say that its even slightly good at all. The production is terrible, and the songwriting (the few melodies you can identify) are the same, on each song (or very very similiar). But, more importantly, about the only thing you can hear during ever entire song is 16th triplets at some ungodly speed (usually for several minutes).

I was referring to Francesco Fareri. Then I suggested George Bellas as a far superior player in the same genre.

Ah.. i thought we were still talking about Michael Romeo
Stupid me :\
