Mike Romeo on G3?

[wchuck]

I think MJR has a quite cool rock sound and I guess it would fit very well,
anyway I also don't think they would ask him, since he's to unknown

 

[OfSinsAndShred]

I think Paul Gilbert has been the best choice from the beginning, I have no idea why he hasn't been on the tour.

 

[Shredboy]

Steve Morse has such a huge catalogue of stuff he could play in a format like G3, he'd be a great addition.

 

[rockyracoon]

The beauty of G3 is that each lineup has successfully attracted somewhat diverse crowds. Players like Eric Johnson, Petrucci, and Yngwie(who I despise) all brought in their own followings. Though I love Satch, I find his music to be much more predictable and significantly less awe-inspiring than any of the other previous players. He is simply no longer a "draw" for me. I mean, who the hell hasnt seen him live? He tours often, and plays 3hr shows. I will always attend G3, but never specifically for him.


That being said, Tony Macalpine would be amazing, as would Romeo. Whoever suggested Steve Morse is a genius had a great idea. A return of Eric Johnson would be killer too. And didn't Kenny Wayne Shepherd fill in on some dates when EJ dropped off the tour? I don't think I'd welcome him back.

I think I should play on the next G3.

 

[RobbM]

Kenny Wayne Shepherd = uke:

I'm not a big fan of the G3 anyways. To me its a tease, I mean, come on, 3 songs each?

 

[Androz]

On the DVD is 3 songs each, live they played like 10

 

[Horus]

3 songs each is nothing.

 

[RobbM]

On the DVD is 3 songs each, live they played like 10

ummm, no. I went to the G3 with yngwie and they each played 3, mabie 4...

 

[War_Blade]

I think the highlight of G3 is the jam session anyways.

 

[WeepingMoon]

yeah definately. the jam is crazy when all the guitarists flow together. and usually the vocals are quite good surprisingly.

 

[RobbM]

Yeah, eccept Satch needs to learn that he can't sing worth shit...

 

[Androz]

ummm, no. I went to the G3 with yngwie and they each played 3, mabie 4...

Thats strange, when I saw them with Fripp Vai and Satch played like 1 and a 1/2 hours and the jam had like 5 songs

 

[RobbM]

1 1/2 hours each??? no way...a 5 hour concert? the one I saw, they each had about 30 min, and the jam was about the same, mabie a bit longer..

 

[proulxski]

to be honest with you...WHO THE FUCK CARES.... if its nearby, and affordable it can still be an awsome night out! on Gigantour most people paid for tickets just to see a certain band than left... 30 minutes isn't much of a show (especially in Symphony X's case) but man did it kick ass!

 

[WeepingMoon]

Yeah, eccept Satch needs to learn that he can't sing worth shit...

haha yeah, he isn't too great. especially on foxy lady, but hendrix really wasn't the best singer either, but i like how he sings more or less.

satch isn't too bad on big bad moon, or a song like that, imo.

 

[yankeeabe]

When Yngwie was in g3 he dominated the whole show, he was a power house and made vai and satch look dull.

 

[War_Blade]

Yeah, eccept Satch needs to learn that he can't sing worth shit...

I agree, i kinda feel the same with eric johnson.

 

[rockyracoon]

When Yngwie was in g3 he dominated the whole show, he was a power house and made vai and satch look dull.

If by "power house" you mean fat sloth, then I agree. If by "dominate" you mean took a back seat, then I agree.

 

[WeepingMoon]

If by "power house" you mean fat sloth, then I agree. If by "dominate" you mean took a back seat, then I agree.

i've never been a huge fan of yngwie either. he's an asshole from what i hear, and a majority of the time he just plays fast stuff over and over that is a complete blur. and yes, he's a fat sloth still respect his playing however, even if i'm not a big fan.

but i think that just goes to show everyone has their opinion with guitarists, and when you get 3 top players together, everyone is going to have their opinion and think one did better than the other.
