Just wow.
That man should not be allowed to procreate.
However, the man can certainly play. The guitar looks awful. No, terribad.

Have seen him 'live' at a music-live show thing in Birmingham, UK...
Guy is a Grade-A douché, and he is living proof that 'speed isn't everything' when it comes to guitar playing. He's insipid at best.

Looks very clever to me, not something I could ever do, not that I wish to, still I appriciate good music.
How old is the video?
What groups/s was he in/out of?
Is there something he has done wrong in the past?

He was in a 1980's power / glam metal'ish band called Nitro.
He hasn't done anything 'wrong', he's just extremely arrogant and has been doing the same boring-monotonous 'Speed Kills' act on his gimmicky double-necked guitar for the past 20 years. His commitment and dedication to replay that same annoying theory-craft is second only to his committal to keep his 1980's mullet-bowl hybrid haircut alive.

I know I could of googled him but I find its always better to gain peoples opinions on the subject so thanks again.
In regards to his Mullett: It may nest young birds in it?
Is it an old video because it looks it, or maybe even today he is a throw back from the 80's.

I like Joe Satriani better, but you can't deny that playing at supersonic speeds like that takes talent.Uzique wrote:

True. Guitar One Magazine named him the fastest guitar player of all time.Stingray24 wrote:

Joe Satriani, Stevie Vai, John Petrucci etc. are all amazingly talented guitarists...
The thing that non-guitar playing spectators don't understand is that the aforementioned three are great guitarists because of their song-writing skill, their composing technicality, and their mastery of technique. Guitar players like Michael Angelo Batio (and sometimes the monotonous Yngwie Malmsteen) just play scales and various no-soul no-creativity riffs/arpeggios as mind-numbingly fast as they can. Sure... I will concede that it takes 'some' sort of skill and some degree of practice; in comparison with the 3 guitarists named above, they really don't come across as anything fast.
Basically, speed and ridiculous tempo does not equal musical proficiency and adept virtuosity. Guitar-players appreciate rhythm, timing and a broad range of styles and techniques far more than they appreciate some standard-timing stupidly-fast display of various arpeggios and techniques that the players began practicing when they were 14.

I finally figured out why megadeth fans are still whining why people like kirk better than dave.

I'd pick Darrell any day, but this guy still is fast.Uzique wrote:

It looks really retarded to play with the right hand and cross your left hand over it to assign the notes
and he can play fast indeed,but I still prefer a guitar solo like Pink Floyd's "comfortably numb". Not technically as high, but a lot more feeling in it.
just my humble opinion of course

I agree with your assessment when it comes to song writing, musical proficiency and virtuosity for the 3 you mention, Satriani being my all time favorite. I play piano and a little guitar and have written a few songs myself. Scales and arpeggios are how a guitarist (or pianist for that matter) gets fast in practice, but too many of the same kind in a song does get boring after awhile. I still have to give him props for that amazing speed.Uzique wrote:
