:elvis:

To my ears, that was pretty impressive...

[ELVIS]

A lot better than George Lynch, even in High School...


:elvis:

[binnie]

But not a patch on Randy Rhodes or Jake E Lee......


I'm a big fan of Pride and Glory and BLS, but I just don't think that Zakk plays as well as those too. Of course, not being a guitar play, I have nothing objective to go off, just what my ears tell me....

[kentuckyklira]

Sorry,

but Zakk´s an idiot and as a guitar player he´s a one trick pony.

He got lucky when he was at the right place at the right time when Ozzy needed a new guitar player. Jake E. Lee for example, plays in a completely different league!

:elvis:

Why do you hate George Lynch?

He´s one of the nicest "stars" or "guitar heros" I´ve ever met! And a killer player too!

[ELVIS]

George lynch is more of a one trick pony than Zakk...

Actually, most rock guitarists are a one trick pony...

But lynch has no particular style or trademark...

He sounds exactly like any bar band guitar hero from about 20 years ago...


:elvis:

[ELVIS]

BTW, I never said I hate him...

Well, I am a guitar player, and I agree with you. ;) Not to bash Zakk at all (and I can attest he's a cool dude in person), but RHOADS ;)
and Jake are/were in a different league.

I don't know what the fuck you guys are talking about with Lynch. Nice guy and complete badass.
I'm tellin' ya, in LA in the mid/late 70's, - before any of them were signed,
by all veteran accounts I hear, the holy trinity of guitar was EVH, Rhoads, and Lynch.
Depending on who you talk to, not necessarily in that order. :D

[ELVIS]

No, it's EVH, Rhoads, and Malmsteen...


:elvis:

:elvis:

Not from eyewitness accounts. ;) Besides, Malmsteen didn't come over from Sweden 'til late '82/early '83 I'm pretty sure...
but when he did show up, he certainly turned the guitar world upside down, much like Eddie before him...

Yeah, I actually remember getting the Steeler LP in '83 after reading about him in Guitar Player 'Spotlight'...and thinking "WTF?" :lol:
Exactly the same reaction as when my sister first played 'Eruption' for me....:D

:elvis: Take away the pinch harmonics and you have a pretty adequate description of Zakk as well!

[ELVIS]

I agree with that...

[jhale667]

Funny thing is, Zakk - and Vivian Campbell, Phil Collen, John Sykes etc. all got that shit from Gary Moore...before he got the blues...lol

[indeedido]

I love Jake E. Lee. Wish he was still churning out albums.

Riiiiiiiiiight...:rolleyes:

No, 20 years ago Lynch was a huge influence on a gazillion bar band guitarists...

If anyone's a 1 trick pony it has to be Yngwie. He's a monster blues player when he chooses to play it.

I believe that he has released two solo albums in the past five years.

One of guitar-wankery a la Satch/Vai which was called something like "Fine Pink Mist" (I can't remember exactly) and a blues one too.

I wish he'd get himself into a rock band. Or reform Badlands, obviously with a new singer.

[rustoffa]

If you go to bee.fm, there's a copy of the demo Zakk sent to get the Ozzy gig.

here (http://www.bee.fm/albums/wylde-zakk-s6499/)

What a wankerist!!!
:D

[Diamondjimi]

Wankfest.

You just contradicted yourself...

But you can kinda call all of our favourite guitarists a "one trick pony" and it's not a bad thing...

It's that individual player's bag of tricks that drops our jaw time after time...


:elvis:

[hideyoursheep]

Lesson # 1...

If either Yngwie or Lynch were as good as this, I might listen to 'em for more than two minutes...

Pentatonic, Shmentatonic!
There's only jerking off or fuckin'!

[ELVIS]

Yngwie is easily just as good...

Lynch is "B" rated at best...

:elvis: I totally disagree!

[ELVIS]

Your ears may need cleaning...;)

[kentuckyklira]

I met George at a workshop here in Cologne. Not many people there, free beer and most of the people couldn´t speak English.

His bag of tricks is great, he´s just not the show-off kind of wanker others are. If you get him to show off a bit, you´d be surprised.

:elvis:

Tricks are tricks ,but I think an individuals phrasing is what will make someone unique.

We've all heard a million Yngwie or EVH clones but no one is convincing as the original.
Phrasing is essentially a huge part of a players musical DNA.

[ELVIS]

Agreed 100%

And George is cool as shit. Very nice guy. So's Ed, every time I got to deal with him for that matter. Yngwie is alternately cool and a douchebag, depending on what day you catch him. ;)

[ELVIS]

Who cares...:confused:

Let's see, i'm gonna listen to this guy's guitar playing because he's a nice guy and he bakes good cookies...

That guy over there can wail, but his cookies are burnt and he frowned at me...

No, I meant more like cool as in will let you pick their brain about gear and technique...

You got sand in your vagina today? :lol:
