G3 Tour

Arthen	Date: October 16, 2003 @ 11:00 AM Any guitarists here having the absolute fortune of being able to catch the 3 in concert?? Coz I'm stuck on the other fuckin side of the world pathetically trying to download clips and audio parts of it. Anyway, those going to watch, have a blast!
kredd	Date: October 16, 2003 @ 3:33 PM G3? satriani, via and ????...i didn't know they were still doing that(if that is what you are referring to). that is an awesome show.
Arthen	Date: October 16, 2003 @ 10:36 PM Satriani, Vai and Malmsteen this year. The best yet.

Arthen	Date: October 17, 2003 @ 12:57 AM Well actually I'm not really interested in Joe or Steve; just the guy everybody hates. Yngwie.
kredd	Date: October 17, 2003 @ 5:06 PM wow..so everyone really does hate yngwie...ha. incredible guitarist, but i always found his music a bit cheesy, as if satch and via aren't.
Arthen	Date: October 18, 2003 @ 12:44 AM I get what ya mean, in a sense. hehe but nevertheless, i can appreciate it where he is coming from
fusenshi	Date: October 22, 2003 @ 3:45 PM They are all phenomenal, but I think Yngwie is a little boring. Its probably more fun to watch him than it is to listen to him I would imagine. Check out the DVD with Vai, Satch, and Eric Johnson. It is definately worth the buy.
Arthen	Date: October 27, 2003 @ 10:58 PM I've been through all the debates on how "repetitive" or "boring" Yngwie is, but if you're a guitar player and if you just focus on improvising, he has the most command over his instrument then any other guitarist i've seen. It's just brilliant. I'm not talking about your average "buying a book of that guitarists songs to learn his scales and notes" and mastering the songs by heart level, it's on a much higher level; where you feel and play what immediately comes from the heart and from there on, superb musicianship. I mean don't care about them; focus on what your choice of lifestyle of guitar playing; for me I never appreciated Yngwie this much till recently when I stopped learning other pple's songs and scales and start to focus on the groove and feel to any given beat or bassline.
Arthen	Date: October 27, 2003 @ 11:03 PM Of course then again we'll all say that if this is the case then Vai and Joe should be even better and given more credit for such; but if you notice, Yngwie can play ANYTHING and ANY given time with the exact execution, excellent choice of notes with the most creative combinations. The others do so in fact alot more carefully and alot more docile compared to Yngwie. Yngwie doesn't bullshit around. Again it depends on your choice of guitar playing lifestyle+charisma...alot of pple I know tend to go for the so-called "underdog". Not saying any guitarists out there are lousier than Yngwie but society always has an "underdog" tendency; in other words anything that's not so powerful or less in the limelight pple would tend to gravitate more towards that because of many complex reasons.
fusenshi	Date: October 28, 2003 @ 1:06 PM I can agree with that. My post was in no way trying to take away from Yngwie. Like I said, they are all phenominal. I didn't know he does alot of improvisation, that I can appreciate. I can't stand to see a guitarist try to map out every note. That tends to take a way from the feel to me.
JohnnyBancroft	Date: November 8, 2003 @ 11:13 PM Give me G3 2001 anyday Satch, Vai and Petrucci!
pog	Date: November 9, 2003 @ 8:01 AM are you serial ??? there's a new G3 out.... TELL ME WHERE ? Don't make me have to hack your machine and hurt you just to find out.. j/k IMHO but malmsteen is a good player, but full of himself, and he only gets away with it through being vague. He plays what HE wants when HE wants. Take it from me... I got ripped off by purchasing one of his guitar videos once, which only really taught me how to be arrogant. Like I said... don't get me wrong, cos he's pretty good... just more bloated than bill gates. Now... some details about the latest G3 please, cos stevie vai threatened that it was an ongoing thing, and I must know more.
Arthen	Date: November 9, 2003 @ 10:08 AM YES, G3's been touring US and Europe for quite some time now already. They're not coming to my neck of the woods though...@($*#)@#($&!! Hahaha. I'm honestly not affected emotionally by the character of any artist...mostly more by his/her music or the events that happened in their lives that make them the way they are. And Yngwie deserves to do that because he created that style, and he doesn't have to please other pple by not being true to himself. If I were him, I could understand why. Not just Yngwie actually...any other artist out there. Nevertheless, they made it, not me, so who am I to be bothered about what they do?
GeneHilbert	Date: November 9, 2003 @ 12:15 PM All three of those fuckers are amazing players. Attitudes aside - hands down - balls to the wall. Kick Ass Guitarist. 'nough said......
invocati	Date: November 9, 2003 @ 10:02 PM They are excellent musicians thats for sure. I don't however know what kind of people they are. They are all pretty private and usually stick to music issues.
JohnnyBancroft	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 12:20 PM Well Vai and Malmsteen are complete airheads...Satch is the most modest and least arrogant and imo the better player of the 3. But i'm sure Arthen would argue with that
monsquaz	Date: November 10, 2003 @ 9:25 PM I'd rather see Satriani and Vai with LARRY WALLIS ! http://pinkfairies.co.uk He's one of the founding fathers of Motörhead, played with scores of other bands and musicians, and he just released a solo album last year. How could you go wrong ?
glynjedwards	Date: November 11, 2003 @ 1:05 PM I'm certainly a malmsteen fan just because of the reasons Arthen pointed out. If you watch the Live Video from Brazil in 98 and then listen to the live album then you see that he must not play the same solo every night. As he's practised so much (9 hours a day when younger) he has a plethora of "stock" licks which he knows will fit so can understand the repetitive angle but if you play at lightning speed surely you're gonna get some repetition somewhere!!! The guy is amazing! He's got to such a high level that he must get bored from time to time which could be the reason for improvisation at his gigs. He is truly amazing. If you analyse his scales then you'll notice he only uses about 2 where Satch/Vai use most of the modes to get those different tones and sounds (Lydian scale for example). Either way I love them all but Malm RAAAAWKS for me!!!! Cheers
starseven	Date: November 11, 2003 @ 4:57 PM Does anyone actually like the music... or do people only listen to these bands because they play guiar.. and like to go see other people who are really good guitarists?
glynjedwards	Date: November 11, 2003 @ 5:34 PM I listen to the riffs and the tone and the licks. Lyrics, pah.....forget 'em. The guitar's are singing to me in my ears!!!
Slurgi	Date: November 16, 2003 @ 1:49 PM Arthen, I think you have a valid opinion, but to me its more than just the speed and execution. Its all about the sound. Dont get me wrong, i like yngwie's sound quite a bit, but i think Satch and Vai have a hold over him when it comes to the final product. All the comments about yngwie's repetitiveness are true too. Not just in the notes and scales he chooses, but he does this 'duh duh duh' slow bit then goes into a huge run, then just repeats that same thing over and over again. And starseven, thats basically how i feel. I listen to classical music, rock, punk, alternative, and all sorts of stuff. How well they play their instruments has no interest to me... That said, if you love good music, Satriani stuff definately is very inventive and very cool. Satch is one of my favorite musicians...
