the iron maiden guys are super underrated too
AGREED ON MAMELI
HE DID SOME AMAZING STUFF
I love Maiden
SPHERES IS UNDERRATED BUT THEY MISS THE RIFF-KNITTING OF CONSVMING IMPVLSE
the problem is like Alan Holdsworth: making it into music
yeah
THEORY ONLY GOES SO FAR
MUSIC IS SYMBOLISM
NOT SYMBOLISM OF ITSELF
and i unabashedly love Elvis
Holdsworth barely wrote any passable music though
he was a guitar autist
his rock album was alright
buit an amazing player
but everything else
IN THE RIGHT BAND, HE COULD DO A LOT
LIKE JOHN McLAUGHLIN
I don't understand how he can be considered an amazing player
FRIPP IMPRESSES ME MORE
and he has a good understanding of scales/chords etc.
because what he knew how to do was technically amazing
I would consider an amazing player to be someone who is an artist
as well as technically skilled
like Bob Vigna
Artist vs. Autist
Vigna and Brunelle were probably the best guitarists in USDM
Brunelle is underrated that's for sure
in black metal, it's easily Blackthorn and Demonaz
for skills
the problem with blackthorn is making music
who is blackthorn
Snorre Ruch
worthless
Mayhem and Thorns
why is he worthless?
he wrote everything cool about DMDS
and invented black metal
He didn't
what do you mean everything cool about DMDS
