Members wilki29 Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 I saw a few videos of him playing last night, and man that guy is good. I knew who he was, but I never knew how good he really was. Im defenitley impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allan grossman Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 He's technically competent but the man is a machine - he has no groove at all. *runs from DT fans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitargod0dmw Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 He's technically competent but the man is a machine - he has no groove at all.*runs from DT fans* Tis true...and I am a DT fan. I hate how you can't ever hear him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rummy Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 He has all the groove he needs. It's just that the band he plays with is more about technics than groove. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents. You can still have a groove in a technical band. I do. Maybe not to the extent of some guys, but it still has a groove... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FloydianAnimal Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 Tis true...and I am a DT fan. I hate how you can't ever hear him... +1- that's why most don't realize how good he is at first. Turn him up in the mix for crying out loud!

Members Renfield Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 Part of the problem with hearing him is his tone. Hideously bad, no way that cuts through the mix. I saw them live, and in one song, there i a brief spot where he plays a lick on his own, no one else is playing a note, and that was the only time the entire night I heard ANYTHING from him. What I heard sounded awful too, seriously the worst tone I have heard come from a bass in over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely his bass solo in Metropolis Pt. 1...but then again, the band plays accents...so maybe not! He's a clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wilki29 Posted August 1, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 maybe I just havent heard enough of him, but I think hes pretty good. Maybe not in the top tier of players, but still a very good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sunburstbasser Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 Love his technique. DT puts me to sleep though. I saw them live a couple years ago and I couldn't hear anything he played, even though his hands were doing all sorts of cool things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members clay sails Posted August 1, 2007 Members Share Posted August 1, 2007 period. And I don't listen to Dream Theater. Check him out on youtube and all the folks who only hear a robot with no groove or soul or whatever...all I hear is another asian stereotype.

Yep, i've done that, and I still think he lacks any form of groove, soul and feel. And even IF he had that, his tone is the major problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
