[enderx45]

Hey all new to the forums, but loonngg time fan of symphonyX (OMG GO ON TOUR AGAIN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!). Ok anyways Michael Romeos skill blows me away, however I have been putting together some "show off" clips. I used to have him playing the Sea of Lies ..can't find it anymore. Anyways this would be a pretty cool thread to post some wicked solos...here is a *great one* none other than Michael Angelo

Damnit, now it's pretty much a "who's the best" style versus thread. I'm debating even making this post as it will bump this topic.

No no. No lists plz. Just want some names of who deserves praise for putting so much into their work. Lets not compare people, but keep it more of a "fellowship". THANKS!

 

[Strychnos]

hmm...could we also ask for some solos? itd be nice to hear some Michael Schenker. Dang, I can't find most of my clips...

No no. No lists plz. Just want some names of who deserves praise for putting so much into their work.

Tony Macalpine = One of the best (if not the best) guitarist in metal and fusion and he is also one of the best (If not the best) keyboardist in metal and fusion.

Allan Holdsworth...just plain sick. He's got that crazy legato technique with the reversed hammer-ons (I think that's the term...I'm not a guitarist), which makes his speed even more mind boggling. And his note choice and phrasing...goddamn...his phrasing...

 

[!Aviso!]

Nuno Bettencourt. The best, hands down.

Wolfgang Zenk. Great composer and flawless execution.
