geez i havent even looked at this thread since my post so this is the first time i saw jesterfaces comment about me..

whatever beef you have with Tali.. leave me out of it, I've done nothing to you so dont disrespect me

He was an angry young man...living under bridges can do that to you i guess.

(btw Tali and I are very much in love and plan on eloping as soon as his wife says its ok)

i wonder if you could learn to love Mrs Tali? then life would be perfect.

if she's half as charming as you, then why wouldnt I love Mrs Tali

Adagio is progmetal + classical, and Andromeda is progmetal + sorta-fusion-ish sounding stuff. two completely different sounds, sytles, and bands, although they both rule.

AMEN

This is the best thread I have seen so far. Even though I love Adagio i'm on Taliwakker's side, because KING CRIMSON RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess that was kind of immature, well I am 16 so what do u expect.

 

[ElPredicador]

Well, technically speaking I can't tell, but by compositional abilities Johan just blows Stephan's ass.

I dusted this thread. I think is a good one.

My vote here goes to Forte. He is just ridiculous and a great songwriter too. I am waiting for my copy of his instructional dvd to arrive. Johann is an awesome player though.


One other question...does that massive picture of Michael Romeo show him doing some multi-finger tapping? I couldn't imagine him adding that to his repertoire...he already taps with one finger better than most of the multi-finger tappers I have heard. Multifinger tapping by him would just be I am sure he could do it easily...actually I think he does a little in the Guitar Chapter with some little classical interludes, but I would love to see him do it in a shred context.

My vote is for Forte, since he is a very skilled player and I prefer his classical sound a la Symphony X.
Where do they sell that instructional dvd? I want it..

Adagio bore the shit out of me....there are 1000 Fortes out there.Very skilled but not doing much in the originality stakes....Andromeda are a far more creative band IMO and Johan has a more definitive musical fingerprint.

THERE ARE ONLY 1 FORTE OUT THERE!

The DVD can be found at the adagio website under merchandising. Do a google search.

 

[Taliwakker]

There IS only one Forte out there.

Look...i'm sticking by what i said.....very skilled....not very original.
He would have fit very nicely on the Shrapnel label in the 80's.

 

[defenderofthefaith]

ive just started listening to adagio and i think forte is amazing
i have yet to hear andromeda but im definetly going to check them out now becuase if this reinholdz guy cuz if he is being compared to forte he must have quite a bit of talent

so im going to have to go with forte just because of lack of knowledge
