So I saw G3 the other night. I got there a little late and just saw Phil Collen finishing up (that might have been a good thing). Next was Petrucci. I can't say I'm a fan of JP but he is a monster player. Great tone too. Great note seperation but his playing didn't really move me. His tremolo picking though- he's got skill. I can't play like that. He had the best tone of the bunch. Next came out Satch and he did what he does best. And that chrome guitar of his is WAY cool! At one point he was doing a guitar duel with his guitarist/ keyboardist Mike Keneally and this guy was on fire. Great chops and could totally hold his own against Joe.
Then came the G3 Jam. Look, I've owned 2 Jackson PC1's I like Def Leppard, but it was painful to see Phil Collen up their with such high-level guitarists. He just couldn't hang. Every time it was his turn to play it sounded like buzzing mosquitoes and he seemed to play the same riff over and over. I would have rather heard the guitarist from Satch's band. JP was good, Satch is Satch and besides him, I enjoyed the show. Phil Collen was a bad choice for this tour. He might be a nice guy (I don't know) but nowhere near the callibur of player that Satch, JP or Mike Keneally are.
Has anyone else made it out to this tour? What did you think?
