Eddie Van Halen
I think his playing is actually good. It's just that the songs themselves suck.

probably Joe Satriani. sure, he has incredible technical skill and accuracy and speed, but all he ever does is wankery. it's so soulless.

he knows his stuff, thats for sure. But I cant listen to him. A lot like Steve Vai too.

Satch Boogie is a great riff though

yeah, i'd say pretty much the same about Steve Vai too. actually pretty much any "guitar virtuoso". the vast majority of what any of them do is soulless wankery.

except Yngwie Malmsteen. he does some really fucking astounding stuff. i like the whole "neoclassical" thing.


Rising Force is a fucking wicked song with a sweet solo. Always wished I could play it

What lol

Steve Vai has numerous legit songs that aren't at all "soulless wankery". Meanwhile Yngwie is exactly that

Go listen to For the Love of God and tell me that's "soulless wankery". It's close to the emotional stuff Buckethead writes

There are some insane players these days. Stephen Taranto comes to mind.

we all hate them though because they have stupid haircuts and play more than 6 strings

Feel like a lot of people who bash Vai, Mailsteen, Satriani, etc for being "soulless" don't have a lot of musical understanding and its just an easy, plausible critique to post on the internet.
