Yeah, Mastodon have a good balance. I was very impressed by them at BDO.Kloppsta wrote:i completley agree its no little wing or eruption....but i am just stoked to hear that there are guitar solos and "expression" of any kind making it to pop radio. as far as her "song writing" and looks are concerned she is just britney spears mk2....but she can play guitar and shes not afraid to show off her skills. hopefully that will rub off on other mainstream artists. next thing you know we'll have slash soloing over Beyonce's latest hit. He likes to get amongst it, ala michael jackson.Hot_Grits wrote:She may well be a great player who will inspire others, but that is one predictable, paint by numbers solo. Sure it's in an unusual context, but surely the best way to tweak peoples' ears is to play something inspiring rather than effective at best.
To be honest, she's not the only one out there with this problem. The stuff the guys in bands like trivium and A7X serve up is just as cookie-cutter. I see a lot of execution out there and very little inspiration.
i think the problem with the A7X, Trivium esque bands is that they TRY so hard to be "agressive" and heavy they end up hitting every 80's hair metal cliche along the way. no doubt they have skill but if they spent less time trying to impress the songs would be better off imho. mastodons latest album is a good example of this i think

Re: Vai plays with a hot blonde....
"some people" dont have time to traul through a billion threads to see if the same link to a YT video has been posted before so at the risk of upsetting "some people" i started a new thread. please forgive me, i am only human.head_strong wrote:sarcasm? never

Re: Vai plays with a hot blonde....
Cool vid, and the track is pretty cool too for that progressive instrumental stuff. Girl power!
Pretty cool performance and posing, but if I was standing in front of four tube heads and 8 4x12s I would actually plug into them...
Q. Was she the one from the 'This is It' MJ show?

Re: Vai plays with a hot blonde....
Orianthi I've always thought as prett average. She just gets caught but in the "ooo, not that great looking, but blonde chick that can kinda play the guitar."
I'd have that German Vai chick over Orianthi anytime.
