you always make threads like this. btw that was your 666th post. there is hardly any difference. it means to play really really fast something complex and almost always without any purpose, emotion, or melodic progression besides "look how cool i am"

Steve Vai *spit* - he does a lot of shredding.
Ups and downs, rapidly. Technically... wanking!
So, do the math - yes, it's just about the same.
Is Vai a wanker? I didn't say so.
I just said he shreds a lot!
(And it's not at all groovy!)
Mikael's solos - no shredding in my opinion.
Just an abundance of grooviness!

Shredding is kittens. You don't... hate kittens, do you?
Only the most vile and obnoxious being on earth would hate kittens.
I don't want to hear all fucking grooves, I want some god damn wanking every once and a while!!!
Steve Vai is god's long lost son!!!
I'M GETTING PISSED OFF!!!
- FUCK YOU!!!

John 5 is considered a shredder, and i'd say that he has all of those. purpose is questionable though.
though maybe he can be considered more of a vrituoso?
those bluegrass songs are crazy though...
John 5 is literally one of the best guitarists that ever lived... his phrasing is so fuckin unique and creative. Vai actually plays on his new album...as does Albert Lee...
it is a hybrid of metal, ambient, blues, country...fuckin crazy...
all of you (except Tubbs) make me laugh...

He has two albums...both are insane...nothing to recommend really, just get whatever you can...
some songs are country, some songs are metal...just see what you can find and keep trying if you dont find something you dig right away. This guy is all over the place...
Edit: To Tubbs - hate me all you want... I'm still gonna laugh at all the ignorance 'round here...

WTF; I'm not ignorant, I was making a damn joke.
And never once did I say "hate"; I said didn't like.
Apparently you don't seem to understand the difference.

Opeth isn't the only band that has depth. Vai has extreme depth in his songs. (From what I've heard.)

Okay, yeah, I apologize for sounding like an ass. You know, not many people do this on the forum anymore.
Okay, so I'll admit it. My joke sucked. I failed, and it doesn't matter.
After Samsara calling everyone an ungrateful fuck it made me think... maybe we are?
So from now on any post I make is going to be serious. I'm not going to joke around anymore. I think if everyone would quit their habits then maybe I wouldn't have to do this. But I am very tired of all this commotion that goes on at least 2-3 times a week.
Sorry, this is off-topic but I thought it was relevant to say. This isn't directed towards anyone, in case you want to know.

By the way (Second double post I've ever made.) Just for sake of conversation, one of the guys over at the Symphony X forum told me to post this:
- Don't complain to me, I'm simply the messenger.
