Members jonny guitar Posted May 19, 2006 Members Share Posted May 19, 2006 wrong forum for that - try the amp forum however...I will take Uli of Yngwie everytime. Panaginni Paraphrase and his take on the Caprices with the SkyGuitar are very very cool. Gypsy Czerzas is my fave by Uli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RockNote Posted May 19, 2006 Members Share Posted May 19, 2006 The fat cat wins hands down, even though I'm a total sucker for classical babes as featured in Uli's vid - check the bass player and the violinist looking somewhat like the young Emmylou Harris Gotta respect his taste in women. Loved Uli on Virgin Killer, BTW, but this is too classical for me. Heck, Yngwie is too classical here for me too. Where is his Viking amp...tucked away and replaced by two gayass monitors? That is so not rock n roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yngwie plays more interesting stuff, not to mention his vibrato is UN-{censored}IN'-MATCHED! And I love his meaty Strat-neck tone too! And yes, Yngwie looks pretty {censored}in' meaty himself. I guess Mr. Carbon-Hydrate unleashed the fookin' fury on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ray18 Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 well the other guy is okay, but yngwie is A LOT less cheesy hmm, there's something I never thought I'd say btw uli, thanks for playing spring, nobody's ever heard that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fuzzup Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 My vote goes for Malmsteen although I think both of them were ridiculous. The clips made me laugh out loud, in fact I was laughing so hard at the Scorpions guy playing Vivaldi that I nearly shat in my pants. Somebody should get David Lee Roth up there singing opera tunes with Tommy lee pounding on the drums, now that would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheTripster Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 am i crazy for thinking that is some hilariously corny and wankishly overdone {censored}? i mean they could both play circles around me several times over, but almost all meedly meedly style playing is so pointless to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheTripster Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 also, does that sound in itself (wanky riffing against symphonic backround) remind anyone else of the top gun soundtrack? seems to date those guys pretty well. what decade are all those crazy guitar guys living in? i mean i'm not one for preaching conformity to current trends, but relentless conformity to past trends just makes me fidget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ray18 Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 Hold on, we have to listen to the amp forum first *shredder/mook tard* {censored} you faggot emo shoegazer morons. Go blow tom yorke and listen to sonic youth while joining in on a mars volta circle jerk.

Members fuzzup Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 I'm young enough not to remember Malmsteen in his hayday but I'm lucky enough to have a older brother who has listened to pretty much anything that is rock n' roll. My brother was telling me that early in his career Malmsteen was so cocky, even going on to say that he was better than any guitar player even Hendrix. No one will remember Malmsteen because he couldn't write a {censored}ing song like hendrix(and I'm not even a big fan of Hendrix).I've listened to pretty much everthing rock n roll in my 23 years and I can honestly say that I see nothing in Malmsteen that is remoteley interesting. I can appreciate some guitar wanking, I'm not an indie fag(I love classical et al), but Malmsteen, and the Scorpions fag are just ridiculously boring. I'm not a fan at all of Eric Johnson or Joe Satriani, I think they are wankers(summertime is nice though), but I can understand why people like them(There are some brilliant ideas between them). Oh yeah Vivaldi is gonna walk the earth again to kill Uli with a violin bow if he plays any of his pieces again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeuceII Posted May 20, 2006 Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 If the question was "which of these is good" I'd be hard pressed to answer. But if the question is "which do you prefer," I'd take the Yngwie performance, for a few reasons. Mainly, it's written for electric guitar. To me the Uli performance sounds so bad because a plucked electric guitar just doesn't mix as one of the voices in the acoustic bowed violin section, which are the lines Uli was playing. The only time it sounded okay was when he played without the rest of the violin section. Second, it doesn't really showcase what Uli is capable of, as far as I know. Sure there are some quick little parts and solo sections, but the Yngwie piece allows him to just completely go off, whether it's written in or not. And as I said before, since it's written for electric guitar his tone fits better to the written orchestra parts. Just my 2cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fatbackribs Posted May 20, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 20, 2006 I started the thread just to see where it would go. I haven't listened to much shred or neo-classical since High-School, but now I find it simultaneously fascinating, hilarious, and horrifying. In other words, great entertainment. ... ... I can't deny that the dudes have chops, but sometimes I wonder about their decisions. I was listening to some Michael Shenker earlier today, (see the, "your favorite Youtube" thread), and I was amazed by how he could be tasty with his melodic shredding without causing me note fatigue OT/: howdy Aramat-man, I'm still rockin' my Green Machine.

That's why some of George Lynch and Richie Sambora's work really appeals to me. And Randy Rhoads (setting aside the horrendous tone).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
