IMHO he does. My personal opinion is that his fame is a matter of timing and circumstance, not talent.
Cmon dude, All due respect right back at ya; critique , opinion , are we really going to split hairs here with semantics?Steinmetzify":1dopq40c said:All due respect Kage...because I respect your skills and you seem like a good guy...a critique by definition is a detailed analysis and assessment of something.
30 people saying his wah is overused or his vibrato sucks is not a detailed analysis.
Steinmetzify":1dopq40c said:I'm not saying that because he's wealthy or has sig gear makes him talented, I'm saying that I dig what he's done in the past and am just astonished at the amount of hate on here for him.....seems like every other day there's another thread about him being bad.
You may not be saying it but its quite often used in his defense, correct? Going on about his sig gear,money or the very small handful of tunes that hes written for a band with a huge catalog doesnt speak to his talent or lack there of, especially when you take everything into account and in the proper context.
As you are astonished by the hate, Im astonished at the reverence.. In the end, neither opinion matters in the grand scheme but the bad should be welcomed with the good...
