Yep, buckethead is a weirdo, thats for sure. I quite like the stuff he did with les claypool (Colonel Claypools bucket of bernie brains) - the solo on the track "Buckethead" is awesome. But as a whole once you've heard his "party tricks" you've heard it all.

One of the most talented, versatile and original guitarists of modern shredders, still fairly pretty unknown tho.
Another good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp0T1zaiDtM
@Reidie: I guess you're right, he's a good guitarist but his playing tends to repeat itself a bit =S (He learned from Gilbert and Gilbert kinda has the same problem) And your sig reminded me of another tight guitar album, "The Divine Wings Of Tragedy". Never been big on power metal, but Symphony X was an exception, Romeo's playing's just so awesome.

pony pony run run is guitar genius!
I always enjoyed the first two opeth albums. I thought they combined multiple layers of guitars to form one melody really well.

The following link shows a Petrucci clinic type video, shows the true extent of his skill

And this is a very guitar orientated band that I like, its very much like Kiske era Helloween

Symphony X is awesome! The Odysssey is a all time favorite.
Try Mark Rizzo from Soulfly...he has a solo release combining his metal and flamenco roots...interesting stuff.
If you want to hear a rough blues take of mine...check out my myspace in my signature and select Blues Improv on the player. I'm just improvising over a canned Cm blues backing track. It's a single take, simple recording...nothing fancy or polished. I like to take the blues to a little more elegant level while maintaining the true feel.

I forgot to mention Schenker stays after the show at the merch section signing your stuff, and the new shirts are awesome they have the original MSG logo from the 2nd album!!!!!!!!!
Sounds great! Last time I saw Schenker was in '84 I believe...at the Ritz in NYC with Billy. He arrived at the front door in a piece of shit Ford and looked like he was afraid of everyone. I'm bringing my oldest, so it's like another torch passing experience.
Anyone else picked up the new Symphony X?
They've really taken the heavy style present on the odyssey (king of terrors etc) to a new level - Romeo's playing is as awesome as ever, and the riffs are alot more thrashy than in albums past - up there with the best of the year thus far

Page isn't the most technical player but, and I know that this is way over used, he had alot of feeling, for instance take the solos, especially towards the end, in Stairway. That solo is one of the best ever recorded because it of its timing and feel. IMO

Just got it...I'll be listening on the way to work today...can't wait!
The packaging is over the top!...but why the hell did they create a CD case that doesn't fit in standard holders?...it's too big for the slots...that's annoying.

Ok, on first listen...it doesn't touch the Odyssey nor V. It's good...I'll make my final decision after 3 full listens.
I'm going to see them in 2 weeks.
Yo reidie, have you heard the new Dream Theater? I assume you have. What do you think? Is it worth picking up for the moderate fan?

I just bought it, the cover art was really good and it was pretty much what I expected of Symphony X (Insane licks, bass noodling, etc), "Seven" was gorgasmically awesome, "Eve of Seduction", "Walls of babylon" and pretty much every song on the album was killer, even the ballad.
Yeah schenk, picked it up a couple of weeks ago. Its definatly (along with 6 degrees) the best thing they have released since scenes from a memory... Its got a bit of everything, Heavy (dark eternal night, costant motion), stripped back proggy stuff (Repentance, ministry of lost souls) and some classic DT tracks (in the presence of enemies). I'd say yes to picking it up, its a great album... but this is al coming from a DT fanboy
Heres some youtube clips from the album:
In the presence of enemies pt 1:

It is a great album, from start to finish. But I do belong to the Petrucci cult--yes his shred can kill people
