Family Problems:

OK, I'm an Idiot

No man! Not at all. Different strokes. But somehow the message got jarbled.

But I get what you are saying.

[Bengal]

Let me add descriptions since I just thought of them.

Yngwie: Steve McNair (Decent QB, one trick pony, got to the big show once but missed it by that much)
Mick Mars: Kurt Warner (Good QB with a ring but the question persists, was it him or the system?)
Steve Stevens: John Elway (Great QB, can carry the load by himself but much better with a good supporting team)

[tanpsi]

Hum. I don't know.

I'd much rather listen to Steve Stevens anyday of the week over Yngwie.

I would say that Steve is better than Yngwie. Speed doesn't equal greatness in my book.

But I see what you are saying. The only guitarists your brother knows are Yngwie and Mick Mars.

I would use past and present NFL Quarterbacks myself.

Yngwie: Steve McNair
Mick Mars: Kurt Warner
Steve Stevens: John Elway

But that's just me.

OK, I admit my analogy was not that great, if you like Steve Stevens better, than you can compare him to the better QB
I only know the Billy Idol hits.

I'm listening to "White Wedding" right now, I don't know if Steve played on that, I do know that I used to crack people up with my Billy Idol sneer and punch!

[toejam]

Steve Stevens > Yngwie.

I read this thread and my balls developed a rash.... I am out of here....

[tanpsi]

I don't get what he's asking.

He was at a Billy Idol show, I get that part.

Was he opening up for Motley Crue? How does Mick Mars get into the conversation.

Or is he saying that Steve was playing an Yngwie/Mick Mars-type solo? How do you compare Mars to Yngwie?

I still don't get it.

Why don't you just say

Yngwie: One of the greatest guitarists
Mick Mars: Good cog in a great machine
Steve Stevens: Pretty good guitarist

Ok, My brother, who doesn't play guitar, seemed to think there was no difference between the three. To me there is a huge difference, and I was trying to use an analogy to explain the difference.

I think every one here, whether you like him or not, would say Yngwie is one of the greatest ever, and the other two are
not in the same league, I love the crue, and like billy idols hits, but those guys in my opinion are not in the same league,

It's like when Rolling Stone does a great guitarist issue and has EVH and then John Mayer and the guy from Green Day

what the fuck are you talking about??

The sad part is, I get that response in the real world also!!!!

OK, how about baseball (Sorry, I'm not as familier with Shakespear as all you highbrows who hate wrestling):

My brother sent me this text message:

"At billy idol show at fillmore. Steve s doing yingway. Micky mars uber solo. Ridiculous, but he's damn good"


How can I explain to him the error of his ways? without being too condescending, I think I will use a baseball analogy:

YNGWIE = Joe Dimaggio One of the greatest, if not The Greatest ever
Mick Mars = Paul O'Neil, part of a great team, with great moments but not at the top level
Steve Stevens = Chuck Knoblauch

[Bengal]

Oo-er. Is he hard? Does he get battered around the ring?

Really?

What are you, like 12?

EDIT: Kidding R, I know you're 10.

[Bengal]

Found some.




YIKES!!

[Bengal]

It looks more like it has a Man-gina.

You need to find a pic of her when she first came in the WWF. Scary. More scary than that pic above.

[Rsmacker]

I dig him, but he's a bit stiff.

I can't imagine that muscle, sterodoidally pumped pussy

Would that be a vaChyna?
