The fact that they left off these guys, is a glaring mistake:

Hey now.. :gethim:
 
HAHA...great read....

I knew CC had to be on it...

The Avenged Sevenfold guys should probably be #1. I don't understand those dudes.
 
ANYBODY can be goofed on.

Most of the players mentioned are icons. This writer is not important.
 
God, I Hate to admit it but I kind of dig the latest Avenged Sevenfold. It's getting too much play on the radio here but the guitar playing is very solid, Portnoy's drums are killer, it sounds incredible (except the tone of the harmony guitars, too thin) and I dig the tone of the guys voice on it. He doesn't use what I would call the typical whiny becomes scream voice we usually hear and sings some good melodies. Plus the footage I've seen of them live recently, they put on a pretty good show and can play everything they recorded. That being said I wouldn't call myself a fan because too much of their past stuff has too much cheese but I do like like what they're doing now.

Who's playing drums on Carry On? Is that a carry over from the Portnoy sessions?
 
They left off the 2 assholes from Blind Melon. Here's what they said about Dream Theater years ago. But they were equally dickish about Satriani and a few others.







"Guitar for the Practicing Musician" - January 1994

"Pull Me Under"
Images And Words
Dream Theater (ATCO/East-West)

Christopher: This could be metal at any moment--I'm just warning everybody.
Rogers: Either that or it could build up into a power ballad.
C: I feel like we might have to excuse ourselves here for a second. We might
have to leave.
R: This is one of those guitar sounds that when he hits a note, about a million
lights jump up on his guitar rig.
C: Any minute now there is gonna be a squealy.
R: Is this, like, Queensryche?
C: If it is, let's turn it off right away because I hate that band.
R: Hate it. This is the kind of music you listen to right when you start to get
your pubic hairs.
C: I can't even be fair to this music, I hate it so bad. I can't even sit
through one song. I know I'm not being fair but I think it is complete
garbage. That sort of guitar playing is just stupid.
R: If I want to hear a metal band I really like old Black Sabbath and
Soundgarden, heavy bands with brains. If I were listening to an angry metal
band I would be more into Rage Against the Machine or Sugar. I like that
Sugar record a lot, I like Sonic Youth a lot. That's heavy, guitar based
music that I listen to.
C: Playing fast for the sake of fast is hideous. I hate that whole mentality of
sitting around playing scales and cock-rock crap.
R: I heard some squealies. I don't really like that sound either. I'm not into
those guitar sounds. When I hear that stuff I get feeling squeamish.
Guitar: That was Dream Theater.
C: We'll remember not to buy that record. I bet they have really nice hair...
now I'm being mean.
R: This is just our opinion. There's a lot of people that like Dream Theater and
that's fine. They get off on it--good for them. They'll probably hate us,
maybe they won't.
C: They probably do because we sound like we're playing sloppy. But that's
alright, that's a different thing. We're just coming from a different space.
R: In no way do we condemn this sort of music. These people have a right to
exist.
C: Just keep it the hell away from us.
[on to the other songs.]

To give you an idea how fucked-up Blind Melon are, they liked:
Medicated Goo - Traffic
Midnight Rider - Almond Brothers

And they hated:
Babe I'm Gonna Leave You - Sons of Mercury
Omaha - Moby Grape
Pull Me Under - Dream Theater
Little Miss Can't Be Wrong - Spin Doctors
Always With Me Always With You - Joe Satriani

These following letters to the editor appeared in the February 1994 issue with
Alex Lifeson of Rush on the cover!!

"...I've had it! I'm sick of these stupid fucks writing that heavy metal is
soulless, mindless bullshit..."

"...If you have something to say about another type of music, keep it to
yourself."

And in March 1994:

"Blind Lemon only wish they could compare to Queensryche and Dream Theater!"

"...John Petrucci's technical skill and rapturous melodies are things of beauty,
things that Christopher and Rogers hate because they can't create such things
themselves..."

And so on.

How did Wes Borland, Ritchie Blackmore, Al DiMiola, Dave Mustaine, Kerry King, and Robert Fripp not make the list?

Biggest douche in that article was the writer IMO.

Agree about the writer. Pretty funny stuff but he lost me when he claimed that Joe Satriani taught Malmsteen and when he included EVH in the douche category. How hard is it to do some basic research and at least pretend that you know what you're talking about? :lol: :LOL:

Was thinking the same thing.

And calling out Rick Nielson for the 5 neck? It's Rick's schtick from the 80s, and it's a joke. And completely lost on the author.
 
I havent read yet the article yet but damn those Blind Melon guys suck.

They dont even know what metal is first of all. They call Rage and Sonic Youth angry metal???? interesting...

One thing we can all agree on is that they are "Blind"

More so "deaf"

Blind Melon I hate you, you suck and your songs are fucking gay....

On that note I should be on the list of Douchebags
 
Stop quoting that damn AXS picture, delete the image when you quote!

Douchy is rant now over.
 
I think it was pretty funny...Especially about CC pissing himself lol...

But I wouldnt call the author a douche he was probably told what to do by the higher ups and did it....

:lol: :LOL:
 
The funny thing is here that everyone is kind of right. The writer is a pretentious hipster douche and the article is pretty funny. I think it s a pretty hilarious case study on both sides, actually.
