Members A3C Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 i don't know. i don't listen to his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members niceguy Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 You don't hear much about him on this forum because most of us aren't familiar with his music. All I know is that he has a sig guitar which looks like something a 5-year old boy would use to try to scare his mother. Ya know, kinda like putting a towel around your neck and pretending you're Dracula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vrm Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 I'm going w/ Frusciante. I think the guy overall has a more diverse style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vairish Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 I would rate Syn as a better Guitarist but Frusciante as a better musician. Not a fan of either though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ak47dragunov Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 My God I want to cockpunch Syn for no other reason than that stupid name! All of his {censored}ty playing and eye-scorchingly ugly guitar aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiRocker Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 All that technical ability and no one ever told Syn you should feel what you play. There is real expression and dynamic to Frusicante's playing, making him the better musician, IMO. EDIT: Plus the songs. Do you really think there's an A7X song that'll be remembered as long or as fondly in 20 years as Under the Bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloridaSeagull Posted December 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 this is what i was trying to tell them...JF puts feeling into his music where as it seems like SG just plays as fast as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your're going for achievement guitarism, I guess SG takes the cake on that one. JF is much more listenable, IMO.

Members ChiRocker Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 i dont know what to tell them In my experience, there isn't much you can tell them. I've had some great friends that I've had this same argument with. I can't understand the lack of respect for feel in guitar playing of some people. They want to ignore listenability in favor of how many notes can be fit in each measure. It's mind boggling to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metallica_00 Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 I've heard some of the new Avenged Sevenfold songs on while at the gym and frankly those solos are a total joke. He's just playing as fast as possible, there's very little melody or phrasing. It's the definition of wanking. As far as technical or mechanical ability, Gates is better, but Frusciante is a much better songwriter and arranger with a great sense of pop melody and harmony. Also an underrated backup singer with a very distinct voice. Having listened to some older Avenged stuff, some of his solos on their earlier albums were pretty good. More melodic stuff combined with the sweeping. The latest ones I've heard are just BLAH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloridaSeagull Posted December 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 one of there other arguments was that the AX7 songs were alot better..that really confused me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 [YOUTUBE]e1KeUCpII5o[/YOUTUBE] vs. [YOUTUBE]hSENpGTTuao[/YOUTUBE] yeah, sorry.. JF for the win... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiRocker Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 one of there other arguments was that the AX7 songs were alot better..that really confused me So which ones will be remembered in 20 - 30 years? That would be my question. I would imagine that A7X will be all but forgotten in another 5 - 7 years. Under the Bridge and Californication will still be on the radio. I would wager a good amount of money (if I had it lol) that RHCP will be one of the bands from my (ours maybe? I don't know how old you are) to make it into 'classic rock' rotation when I'm my parents age. A7X will be like many of the bands from the 60's and 70's that people have by and large forgotten about. Do these people think that A7X will stand the test of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Poker99 Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Who's the best songwriter? To me its easy to answer : JF Who practiced more with a metronome? Another easy answer : SG So I think I will go with JF, cause I don't care about speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Neon Soul Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 Frusciante. Even if the Chili's stuff isn't your bag he's got plenty of solo albums in alot of different styles that might apeal. One genre he does not put into his music is nu-play-as-fast-as-you-can-whist-trying-to-impress-13-year-olds-metal, so you may have to turn to Synester for that.

Members guitargod0dmw Posted December 22, 2008 Members Share Posted December 22, 2008 These are two completely different styles of music. It's kinda hard to compare the two. Almost like asking who is better, Vai or SRV? This Gates dude has a stupid name...so he fails on that premise alone. I never heard of him before either, I had to look him up. They're both decent players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
