Yet none of these virtuosos can stand up against the one guitarlord; Kirk Hammet,his magical melodic sense and mindblowing technical command is majestic in every sense of the word...

Sorry, my reply was directed at the guy whose post you replied to. I guess I was too lazy to scroll all the way back.
You're probably right about his influences, although I doubt he stayed at Berklee for a whole semester without learning a single thing. Anyway, that's unimportant. The modal/jazzy influence is still there.
For those of you who want to hear Romeo playing modally, check out "Communion and the Oracle". Some nice Dorian soloing.

I didn't mean to imply this. I learned a lot at Berklee the two semesters I was there, but I see people make it seem like the guys in DT are theory masterminds because they went to berklee, when theres no way someone who went to berklee for a semester and a half and started out in level 1 of everything magically became some theory wizard solely because of that school.

Point taken. As you say, none of DT's stuff is extremely complex from a theoretical point of view.
Dude, I agree with all your assessments there except for the one I underlined. JP has done loads of solos that aren't fast at all. Train of Thought is an unfortunate departure from that.shredmaster said:- He is MUCH better at improvising...(Solo spot in LOTEOF vs. John`s olo spot in Live in New York)
- He doesn`t create solos consisting of fast alternate picking 99% of the time (As I Am solo comes to mind).
- He is IMO the better composer, and does not seemingly build song structures based on containing too many odd time signatures for the sake of it(Well, Dance of Eternity for example)
- He is a better live guitarist than JP(LOTEOF vs. LINY).
- The Odyssey() is a FAR FAR better album than TOT(
).

Hell yeah! Have you heard his solo in "One"? Absolutely mind-blowing! How DOES he tap so fast!?!? Kirk blows Romeo, Petrucci, and that Ynvgwie guy out of the water!

For me its obviously JP.
Romeo is kickass and his work on SX in fresh and inspiring, and I couldnt give a shit if he looked like a 10ton truck.
Petrucci is the main reason I play guitar, and he's the main reason I can shred after a year and a half, playing a level above C.o.B songs(not AL level of course).
You dont see Romeo being this dedicated to guitarists around the world, do you?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by dedicated, but I see Romeo as being incredibly inspirational and a great influence on anyone just picking up guitar or that's been playing for years and years. I think he's also inspirational to composers due to songs such as The Odyssey that have tons of depth and complexity to them without just being some shredfest or pointless mixture of random time signatures.Metalbeast said:
Well with all due respect to MR, he's been stuck guitarwise ever since day 1 of SX.
Petrucci has gone through some changes in improvising, tone, and composition, while romeo is still in place.
Im not saying he's gonna be stuck forever, but versatility should have much more emphasis for SX this time around.

Not to say that Petrucci hasn't progressed for the worse...
I hope his leads on ToT are just to fit in with the whole "\m/etal" theme. I would hate if he played like that on all future albums. Sure, his chops have gotten beyond sick, but his phrasing on ToT is very... Chops From Hell.

I agree that Romeo's shredding abilities > John Petrucci's.
Romeo always is so concerned with TONE. He is always selecting different pickups, toying with his tremolo bar and throwing in the most random ridiculously fat vibratos. Romeo also uses natural and pinch harmonics much more often than Petrucci.
Just as Petrucci likes to use blazing fast chromatics, Romeo finger taps much more.
Although i have never seen MJR with a beard, im guessing he can grow a way more wicked beard as well.

This argument is as ground-breaking as the Odyssey ve. Divine Wings of Tragedy. We all know which we like better, and our opinions will not change. I could tell you that I like MR better, but you wouldn't give a shit, would you?

I agree that they both could be better at improvising, nonetheless I think that Romeo is definitely the better one of the two...
