Why do so many people think beck is so great it doesnt even sound like he knows what key his songs are in? I tried watching some of his stuff from cross roads, its almost embarassing.

Yeah, it was funny. I watched him play and asked my dad if he always played like that. He said yes, I said I thought he sucked and my dad said that I don't understand his "artistry"

I could go up on stage and play 10,000 random notes with my fingers. No one says I'm amazing.

Life is not fair.

Ahh here is your problem you would only playing be 10,000 random notes you gotta touch the volume knob 8,000 times as well and the trem arm another 5,000, then you would be great.
 
Slash is the most overrated. Doesn't suck, but gets way too much credit for one good (ok great) albums' worth of work.
Zakk is getting there. How long can you ride that pinch harmonic? As long as Ozzy lets you I guess.
If overrated is what were are talking about (not musicianship, tone or anything else) then these guys fit the bill. They are both way better me.

Makes sense. I also don't have a ridiculous chick playing bass with her boob hanging over the top of the bass with nipple showing.

I should get on that.

Oh c'mon now! Did Page and Clapton not have amazing compositional skills? And Beck not have an ear for insane phrasing/note selection? Well...I can sort of see Beck as an annoyance at times, so scratch that.

I still can't disagree with you more, and not just for those reasons listed above. To each his own, though. :)

I'll back you up on Page.

But I'm gonna go with slinger on clapton . I guess I just don't get it. I look at him as one of those who is highly praised cause he was around earlier, and not necessarily cause he was better than a lot of others

I can see that. But you can't dismiss so many great songs that have come out of the guy...That's my only point really. I'm not basing this stuff on pure technique. That's not music. Take DragonForce for example...ugh...
 
I might be one of the only people on the internet that's not a retard that actually likes Dragonforce :confused:

that should make you wonder why they don't say it about you. Maybe those notes aren't random...
is this random to you...
