Old, but so awesome

First discovered this in like '02

Born to Shred II

SPEED = EMOTION

Seriously, I know it's long, but there's just so much awesomeness and piss-taking (to quote them Redcoats ) all the way up to the very end, awesome

Hhahah.

To be serious though about the title, I never understood why people always equate slow shit to be moar "emotional."

 

[Metaltastic]

Well the title is "Born to Shred II" But yes, I know what you mean, though since endless pointless wanking is pretty much the most common manifestation of "speed" in many playing styles, it's understandable that people would feel that way (but IMO, speed if it's controlled and well phrased can be unbelievably exciting and really take me to the next level because of its power, see: Ghost Prototype I solo )

It's not really

slow=emotion

i'd say it's more

slow=easier to put more subtle expression in

I'd rather hear mindless Cooley wank then some slob coppin SRV licks through a wah.

GP I is legit.

This video rules too.

One of my pet hates too. People who say that sort of thing just don't have the ability to listen fast enough.

It should never be about how fast or how slow someone is playing, it should just be about whether it sounds good or not. Because you can do really dull stuff both super fast and super slow.

I watched a cool vid of Greg Howe talking about contrast last night and I was like "Greg, you're a fucking man".



On topic.

These guys used to post on the Dream Theater forums years back. Cool players, douchey professional forumer types.

Well Greg Howe is a fuckin ridiculous player. He looks at the guitar and it sounds good.

Seriously, Greg Howe (and TMac) are my homies (he said racistly )

That's nothing, I had a look at his website offering webcam lessons with him for $75 a pop and went "home boy gettin' paaayyyeeeedd".


I'm not very good at being black so it sounded very racist.

I can only imagine how much more hysterical the Australian accent must have made it

I was just thinking that hahaha.

I'm pretty sure no matter what you say, if you try and say it ghetto it's going to sound racist with your Aussie accent mucking it up.

Try to imagine Mel Gibson in Mad Max, except he has grills, a gold plated AK-47 and "Thug Life" tattooed on his back. That's pretty much what you're looking at here.

Remind me to never, under any circumstances, do that again. Ever.
