Miss Piggy on vocals?
However, I have seen a couple of interview vids with him and I think he comes across very, very well. Seriously, if I was a producer at CITV or CBBC I would be seriously tempted to get him to front some sort of older child/ teen focussed show on playing in a band, sort of a Rock School for those of school age.
edit: as long as he agreed to have his barnet cut in an 80s stylee.
I might have to watch the Deidre clip. Sigh
Good for him.
I like his videos too - the more I see of him the more I like him. At first I avoided the "look while I play a '54 Strat through Leo Fender's personal prototype Deluxe Reverb" type vids but even then I relented when I realised that's *exactly* what I'd be doing in his position.
How good does that V sound? No wonder he ran out and bought his own.
awesome snare drum tone too
when I listened I thought he was very generic
that said I find him finding his own playing style in the last few years so if I listen I don't hear snippets of everyone else.
i admire his work ethic and frankly he is at best no more gifted than the average good player but what he lacks in not being the next Satriani Vai or Pettruci he has more than made up for through hard work and sheer dogged determination.
not a fanboy but certainly not a hater
Great backing band, beautiful backing singers, and he sings very well with more feeling than I've heard him give before.
What's not to like?
But do you think he's really trying to be the next Satriani or Vai? If indeed they are to be held to be the bar to hit.
I saw the G3 thing a few years ago, only really wanting to see Fripp again. I genuinely wish I hadn't bothered...for me the most interesting thing about the gig was Vai throwing a plectrum that landed at my feet, and I was able to give it to the young fan next to me...made his day I reckon. All I could think about was getting home and having a cup of tea.
Whilst understanding and appreciating their technical prowess...they are obviously master craftsmen, the music they make belongs to a genre that I find uninteresting and generic in equal measure. Like yourself, not a hater of the genre, but not a fan either.
I guess it really is horses for courses.
