[Luis]

Anything faster than Romeo's fastest solo speed just deteriorates the sound.

How can you end up with such a conclusion? Then 20 years ago people would say "Anything faster than Malmsteen Fastest solo deteriorates the sound" . Who knows they will not be overwhelmed?

For me, Romeo's speed (which is amazing) is enough to enjoy I don't want more speed... (But that's just my taste)

Anything faster than Romeo's fastest solo speed just deteriorates the sound. I honestly hate Cooley, Fareri, and this guy, but it is still shocking to see.

I agree with the first one. Michael Angelo's speed already almost deteriorates the sound.

I completely disagree with that statement. Anything faster than romeo's fastest solo speed? That's just a silly statement to me.

I have to say that i've heard quite a few impressively emotional solos from romeo. By the same token, i find a lot of his more neoclassical stuff to be rather emotionless in a way, but i think the speed for the sake of speed and playing noodly and all work with those songs. An "emotional" part wouldn't fit the songs, and that's just how it comes off to me, that's how i choose to receive it. Not saying it's the be all, end all, i'm just calling it as i see's it.

check out this thread on the Shawn Lane forum, some guy totally ripped his video apart and figured out at most he plays at 20 nps...

An "emotional" part wouldn't fit the songs,

Yes, for some licks, no emotion is better. One, might want just a blindingly fast riff with no emotion to demonstriaght a "fury" type of feeling.

Musically, it sucks? Personally, I would rather get excited over one screaming guitar note that has substance and elegance to it, than listen to any musician who is insanely fast but sucks musically. That's just my view, for whatever it's worth to anyone. I'm all for music that doesn't suck, and there's enough of that around. I've found that many guitarists lose the emotion when speed becomes a priority to impress, and it all become technical and calculated. The wow factor quickly becomes boring and irrelevant.

Wow, my brain just stopped working for a minute and I actually had to think about who Alex Lifeson is. Now that I've figured it out, I'm going to kill myself for not knowing that immediately... But before I do, I agree that Alex Lifeson is amazing. Now I need to listen to Rush due to what just happened in my head.

I agree, Becker would have been faster while he plays Yo-Yo with his other hand

Jason rocks! and so does Michael Angelo who I consider to be the fastest shredder on this planet!!!
