YJM and Vai - Generation Axe

[BenoA]

I'll never lose my sense of amazement at how relaxed and economic Yngwie's right hand is.

Yep, same here! After all these years, I do too!

I love them. They sound like them...that's GREAT!!! I don't sound like them, ....that's GREAT!!!.. There was a day when I wouldn't think of trading with either. I'd love to now!!

+1 Great minds think alike.

Lame or not, I pretty sure I'd consider trading my left nut to be doing what they're doing- getting paid to play guitar and be guitar icons.

Where do I sign? Do I have to sell my soul to the Devil :P

And you could add to the list of "getting paid to play the guitar" and "being an Icon"... Free gear! These guys get free gear! lol

He could, but lets raise the bar higher. I wonder if Yngwie or Vai could learn any Jeff Loomis tune. Uli Roth loves him!

I bet Jeff Loomis can learn any of theirs. Anyone that could cover Jason Becker's Perpetual Burn without visual aid or music theory ...well..fuck.

As amazing as Steve Vai is. I can make ONE record of great songs in 30 years. I'll take Tony Mac instead..that true virtuoso has colon cancer. I just learned this. I wish I didn't, and I wish the best for him!

That would be interesting- I think what would trip YJM up are Steve's masterful use of the bar and his penchant for the odd, unusual sounds he coaxes from his Jems.

Was thinking the same thing.

He could do it, if by "learn" you mean discard Vai's weak melodies and solos and totally improvise something way better.

Kick ass.
