Members Big Muff Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 Seriously, this is not a troll post, I'm just wondering why he gets so much hate on this site. Sure he has his quad guitar wanker moments, but that's to be expected of a guitarist with his technical skill. That having been said, are there any closet MAB fans out there? Come on, you can admit it, I won't tell. :D P.S. Google the song "Rain Forest" if you want to hear some killer playing! I would post the link, but I don't know how. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slvrsrpnt Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think he is a pretty cool guy. He loves to play guitar and has been very polite and cool when I have met him. He can go over the top, but that is what got him noticed above the endless sea of shredders out there. He can play anything and can put heart and feeling into parts when they are presented.

Members Brewski Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 He is what I consider one of the coolest guitarist on the planet!! anyone who can play on two necks at the same time rules!! Does he have to shred - I bet the answer is NO!! But why plays blues riffs when you can shred like he does? I'd love to spend a year learning from that guy and see where it takes my skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Welladjusted Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 His playing sounds like scale exercises to me. There's no melody and no hooks. Paul Gilbert matches him in skill, or at least comes close enough for my liking, and his wanking is far more listenable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members curseoftruth Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 I think its that two neck guitar monstrosity that he plays -- it just screams stupid to me and think a lot of other people. Yeah, its cool the first time you see it, but after a 100 videos of it, it gets kind of old. I do get that he is an excellent player and can hang with the best of them, but I really don't like full on shred much to begin with, no matter who it is. Plus, I don't like his haircut.

Members SgMaster Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 i personally think he wastes his talent. His two songs that you only hear are soo weird, not good weird though. Welladjusted got it right. It just sounds like his only skill is going through sweeping scales really really fast and being able to play two necks at once. I find him annoying and pretentious, but if he's happy doing it and is a nice guy from what slvrsrpnt says then who really cares if his music sucks!

Members Highway_61 Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 I used to like a couple of the videos he had up on his site. To me, he's one of the better shredders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jrockbridge Posted March 28, 2007 Members Share Posted March 28, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0qJNEd6xzs I'm not a big fan of shred music, but I can listen to some of it for short periods of time. I have noticed that many people who have the shredder reputation can do much more. I thought that clip showed a lot of taste and feeling. I have seen some of MAB over the top shred and simply found it campy and silly. But, it's good to know that he is not just into speed theatrics and is capable of thoughtful music. P.S. Other people have a mean guitar face. MAB is guitar face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Unstrung Posted April 2, 2007 Members Share Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah he aint as bad as they say. Sure, he's extremely cheesey. But to me, that's a selling point. Plus his Speed Kills DVD really is quite effective/entertaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
