Sign in to disble this ad
i was reading an article in which the "guitar god" was bashing on bass in the typical guitarist way. I'm just surprised that such a seasoned musician would have such close minded and stupid views on music. I remember him saying something about slap bass, how he thought it was the worst sound ever or something,along with alot of other things. anyone have a link to the transcript of the interview?

Having said that.. i thought this was funny
A guitar player dies and goes to heaven, where he is met at the gate...
"Excuse me, is this the right place?"
"Sure is if you are good, Dude" replies the gatekeeper.
"Is Yngwie Malmsteen up here, man?" the guitarist asks...
"No way, Dude, he is down there" says the gatekeeper.
"Cool, I hate sweep picking and all that speed guitar w%$k sh&t" says the happy picker. As our hero sits practising on his cloud he hears the strains of
"Black Star" and "Rising Force" and he asks the gatekeeper...
"I thought you said Yngwie was down there, man"
"He is" replied the gatekeeper..."That's God, He thinks he's Yngwie...." |

I am giving up bass, and from now on I will worship Yngwie.

That said, I wouldn't listen to him if he said the sky was blue. I'd have to check for myself.

YAAAAAAA!
He's the fastest newest sorcerer
In the holy metal kingdom
Sweep picks arpeggios at flashing lightning speed
He's like totally neo-classical dude
He kicks your ass with each etude
Classically trained as a child!
But now he's out and running wild
His gothic scales leave us beguiled
His blinding vision bathes us in the dark
He's a hexaphonic composer
A rocker not a poser
Stravinsky just step your ass aside!
He's yngwie f*cking malmsteen
THAT'S WHO!
YAAAAAAA!  |
