He can't even play guitar, he writes music with his eyes.

His music is really good but shred solo artist music is a piece of flawed one dimensional masturbation music, and I don't neccesarily think you have to be super ego centrical faggot for it to be masturbation music, it's the very fact a career is being made just out of 1 man's talent, shove it up your ass till you'll stop believing you're interesting enough to be the center of a whole band. The music itself is just childish desu.
Regardless of what's been said, as a guitarist and musician myself I agree that he's probably one of the best among the popular solo artist guitarists, But I wouldn't say he would get the same amount of respect he got without his ALS, as harsh as it may sound

Do you need to know how to do something to give an educated opinion on it?

Tony macalpine is as one dimensional as you can get as a guitarist, also a boring copy cat don't you think?

>>72552939
Sounds like you're talking more about Joe Stump or Chris Impellitteri tbqh

i'm sick of insecure guitarists shitting on virtuosos. you don't see elementary level pianists playing chopsticks acting like what they do is more artistically valid than what a concert pianist does. you don't see trumpet players slagging miles davis for playing fast arpeggios and licks. it's just disgusting, the whole guitar community is cancer

>>72552846
This honestly. We need more twinks with jaguars fiddling with their pedals instead of learning how to actually play.

dunno if i'm just stoned but this shit sound cool to me and the cover very evocative lol

Racer X had the best songs of the actual bands on Shrapnel. M.A.R.S., Phantom Blue and Vicious Rumours were all fairly good, but Cacophony, Dr. Mastermind, Le Mans and Apocrypha were all total jank with good playing, but shit songs.

Peter Marino is a fucking horrible singer.

On a related note, does Malmsteen still put on a good show? He's on tour and he's actually coming here. I'm not sure if he's past it though.

>>72553287
Nah, don't bother. He's just phoning it in and his backing band are garbage now. Some questionable choices in his set-list, too.

I saw him about 2-3 years ago and just walked out of it wanting my fifty bucks back. This is coming from someone who actually defends his output up until Facing the Animal.

>not being able to hear the incredible amount of soul he puts into every note

He had none of those. His music will be forgotten

Friedman went from being in Megadeth to literally, LITERALLY, making J-pop music.
