Members MRAAJR Posted March 26, 2010 Members Share Posted March 26, 2010 Guitar virtuosos. :snor: It's too bad these guys couldn't write a song worth hearing to save their lives. It's like listening to hair spray scented spandex, furiously masturbate. Do not want. What do you play again? Indie rock? Oh yea...GTFO!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Floortom Posted March 26, 2010 Members Share Posted March 26, 2010 I always find it funny when people say Satriani couldnt write "songs". The guy is the most successful rock instrumentalist of all-time, sold over 10 million albums, got a ton of radio and videoplay all while doing catchy instrumentals that non-guitarists liked. The {censored}ty songs that no one listens to description would be far better used on 90% of the brootz bands discussed here rather than Satch or vai:poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chezdon Posted March 26, 2010 Members Share Posted March 26, 2010 I think younger players enjoy these players more don't they? Super fast playing, that's all 90% of youngsters want to do, so they look up to these guys. I'm 23 and first saw Satch playing Surfing when I was about 15. I was mesmerised. But I don't listen to too much shred, not really my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CptMcKay Posted March 26, 2010 Members Share Posted March 26, 2010 I just turned 19, and would love to carry Paul Gilbert's children in my man-womb. I stach too, he makes playing seem effortless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members shredtilurded Posted March 26, 2010 Members Share Posted March 26, 2010 Satriani is a great songwriter.He wrote viva la vida. (and others) Isn't that the one he sued Coldplay for ripping him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sfarfsky Posted March 26, 2010 Members Share Posted March 26, 2010 You see, I wouldnt have thought those guys existed any more. Satrani, guthrie, morse, malmsteen, all the technical guys also have it musically and I really feel what they are doing. I like classical, jazz, rock, pop, and even stoner rock. I like everything except country. But I'm an old guy. I am fortunate that i had exposure to everything. I think my tastes solidified by the time I was 35. I dont feel there is anything else "new" to listen to, so I try to listen to the best of everything. And Satriani, IMO is the best instumental guitarist. Yeah, these kids exist. I think a lot of it has to do with the influence from the instructor. Some of them just start playing out and that's the {censored} that gets played. So before they get the chance to become diverse they're already out there swapping blues licks and building their repertoire. Its probably the easiest route to go if a new guitarist wants to be a performer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members -todgemistro- Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 I don't like elevator music.I can appreciate his talent, and obvious technical skill, but god damn is he boring. This. Paul Gilbert is the {censored} though, he can actually write good, fun tracks whilst having the ability to shred your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 9ball Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 A rock looks like a genius next to you. so then i guess you could say that a rock would capture your attention enough to take notice of, and engage in intellectual discourse with? and this was supposed to be an insult to me?

Members Say Ocean Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 Just wondering how YOUNG guys relate to guys like Satriani. There was a pinnacle of guitar ability in the late 80s of which Satriani, Vai, Gilbert, Malmsteen, etc were at the top. BUT... these guys are in there 40s or 50s now. Old guys. When I was learning guitar in the late 80s, I didnt listen to any "old guys". Yet, I notice there are lots of young kids who like Dragonforce. But in my opinion, its not possible to like Dragonforce without REALLY liking the guys from the 80s. THey did it first, and they are better at it. Much better. So are they acknowledged (Is Surfing on every young guitar players iPOD?) or forgotten? I just turned 18. I don't listen to Satch, Vai, or Malmsteen except on rare occasions, but I listen to guys you would have considered "the old guys" at my age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members grunge782 Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 I saw him live at G3 and I'm in the younger crowd. He was the most boring musician I have had to endure. Gilbert and John Petrucci had much better songs and I would say the higlight of the night was seeing Gilbert shred those harmonies with Bruce. I mean Joe can play but god his songs suck (same way I feel about Vai). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members freehandarson Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 I'm 22 and Satch is/was/will always be my favorite guitarist. I have all his albums.

Members riffy Posted March 27, 2010 Members Share Posted March 27, 2010 so then i guess you could say that a rock would capture your attention enough to take notice of, and engage in intellectual discourse with? and this was supposed to be an insult to me? Sir, What Neil wrote was not intellectual discourse. It was simply a throw away one-liner that is still seemingly lost on you. Also, you were right when you were younger, you will never be able to play like Satch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
