It's a good thing they never claimed to be a "virtuoso group" then, eh...?Personally, I enjoy the music on their album. From your post above, if he can't pull it off live, it's better for him to have never written it at all and made money from it? Sorry, I can't agree with you there.
I'm glad they put the album out, I can enjoy it when I'm driving to work without having to see them play it live. If you are so bothered by it, why keep watching videos of them playing live or going to their shows? If you stop subjecting yourself to it, you could save yourself from being so clearly upset about it.
It really is a silly thing to get yourself all worked up over in the grand scheme of things.

tech metal: where being really fucking good at guitar just isn't good enough
But he's not "really fucking good".
Go to your nearest large city center (ie Calgary). Guaranteed there are at least a couple hundred cats that could not only play this stuff, but play it in time. Studio guys, touring guys, jazz grads, metal players in the scene.
don't get the hate train for this guy at all. He has a questionable character and is probably crazy. Right now his lofty vision exceeds what he can actually accomplish but that does not make him even remotely unique in any music circle. but why is nobody letting his music stand for itself?![]()
My personal opinion is if you can't play it, don't write it.
I can barely play the songs I write when I'm writing them
Hate to be a dick (I don't really)
Contradicting yourself in half a line is pretty quick
You guys are all STILL whining like bitches over something you have no control of, literally a few weeks after another thread got closed for the exact same thing. Can we move past this bullshit yet? Goddamn.
EDIT: Yeah, I'm mad bro.
We always hear that when people seem to have gotten a tast for beating their head up against a brick wall. It's played out, just like this last two pages.
I dont understand how the live show is the real product. Whats that make the cd, an ad for the real product? pretty stupid. The album is awesome, tons of cool riffs. Live shows dont look to thrilling to be honest, but so be it. I hear the Foo Fighters put on an amazing live show. However Im not a big fan of their music. So do I have to run out n see them live and become a fan because the real product is great? the band produces music. If you dont like the music on the cd, dont buy it. If you think their live performances are sub par or boring, dont go to them. People are so goddamn sensitive I swear. Here is an important newsflash, every musician you have ever listened to is somewhat worse in a live setting. Such is the nature of live performances. You know that actor you really like who kicked ass in that action scene a minute ago, yeah, that took 76 tries and then had to be edited to make it look perfect. Same shit for music. Al is a great song/riff writer (subjective), and a great player. No, he is not super human who can 100$accurately do those high speed string skips every night.
Do we really want this thread closed again? This is some ridiculous shit. The amount of pure hate stemming from jealousy is just ridiculous.
Love the fact that everybody who has negative things to say are jealous haters who are trying to get the thread closed.
