Many people think he is more talented than Yngwie. But for me it's har dot make that decision, but i think Romeo is little Cleaner, and has alot more feel in his play. Speed wise yngwie could be greater.

What do you guys think?

I think his playing sounds a lot more defined than Yngwie's. Obviously his attitude is better. I've seen an instructional video of his "the guitar chapter", he explains things better, rather than just saying "here is the usual A major sweep" then playing as fast as he can like Yngwie does. I prefer romeo, mainly because Yngwie uses so many harmonic minors, gets a bit irritating after a while :D

do know that yngwie isnt a teacher and that his videos are not intended for teaching purposes...I like them both..I really dont see a point in sayin " well X is better than Y..NUH UH Y IS BETTER THAN X!!" it just starts stupid pointless arguments

I dont think anyone is saying one person is better than the other. I think michael romeo is an amazing guitarist. Maybe he sounds cleaner because of his tone. I really like the way michael romeo plays and the cool legato stuff he does is amazing. I havnt heard much of malmasteens stuff so i cant compare them. They are both good guitarists but i do have to say that michael romeo is a very goood guitarist :cool:
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.

Yeah, i was just saying "I" prefer romeo, not saying he's better. I'd never argue with "nuh uh" anyways :p

I was implying that people who argue who is better than who sound like little children :D

Agreed ;)
