Mick vs. Mike

[theodyssey]

I have given this a lot of thought, and i think that Mick from Slipknot and Michael Romeo's guitar styles have a lot in common. They both shread like no other, except Mick does it in that "i don't need to play my instrument to be good" type of shreadding, where as Michael Romeo does it in that "I actually take time to learn stuff" way. Let's discuss this in YET ANOTHER GODDAMN VS. THREAD!

Oh yes, feel the sarcasm.

I think that MR should wear the mask off the album covers if he really wants to compete with the Slipknot guy.....otherwise it is too hard to compare them.

 

[Zax666]

I don't really think Mike would look good in a mask.

And yeah, vs. threads suck!

 

[theodyssey]

yeah. symphony x needs to wear masks to show their inner angst if they are going to compete with slipknot

no no no....if they started to wear masks, then the Crimson Glory fans would crawl out of the woodwork and claim how they have stolen "their" image and idea.

Mick can shred pretty well, but in no way on the same level as Mike. Pretty good, but a bit sloppy, and has a tendency to rehash a bunch of clichéd Malmsteen licks.

As for Slipknot's music, though...

I remember when those BC Rich Warlocks were all the rage. Now they look nothing but comical. Maybe Romeo should switch to BC Rich so he could look cool enough to broaden his fan base to more angst-ridden adolescents.

 

[theodyssey]

i don't know what the hell you are talking about. I love BC Rich. Sure they don't sound nearly as good as other stuff, but they look fucking badass and metal. just because slipknot uses them doesn't mean shit. BC Rich = metal.

no man you have it wrong. This is the most metal guitar ever...behold:

Now see if SymX wanna compete with Slipknot Romeo needs to start shredding on one of these things...

 

[theodyssey]

HAH! Actually, i would like to see someone shred on one of thems. That would be badass... or not... but humerous if nothing else.

 

[Zax666]

I think Slipknot DID tour with one of these Schecters, only in pink (yes, pink).

 

[ABQShredHead]

I have found my true calling. I must purchase that guitar and quit my day job.

I'd get on stage with that in NO time. It's hilarious!

Which explains the working titles Midnight In Olympus and Divine Wings Of Transcendence.

[Knight of the Templar]

Shit, dude, ur sooo ghey.

Fred Durst, man... that's the ultimate shredder/singer. He roxx0rz my b0xx0rz.

 

[theodyssey]

LOL! have you seen that video of him live "playing" guitar??? It's fucking hysterical!

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

The Fred Durst video is just hilarious, man.

I don't have much to contribute here, as I've never heard Mick's solos. I will say that I think the looks of BC Rich guitars are way over the top and I never thought they looked cool.

 

[glasscastle]

sorry..hope I don't make anyone mad..... there is nothing...I mean NOTHING in common with these two, except that they both play the guitar!
