Good old Alex Gregory. What a pompous ass. I had the misfortune of encountering him at NAMM, back in the 80's IIRC. I looked at the 7 string Strat and said who's Alex Gregory. Next thing I hear was "That's MY signature Strat. I'm an AHHHTIST." He was pissed that I didn't know who he was. NOBODY knew who he was. Total dick. I think he may be the reason Fender doesn't do 7 string Strats, something about legal crap, but I don't know for sure.

Nothing grinds my gears like guitarists that don't even write music having a giant ego.
 
I think Yngwie would make Stump look silly and like an imitator. For starters, he isn't as clean as Yngwie where picking is concerned and he's sloppier where certain runs are concerned. He's a good player but I'd say a guy like James Byrd was a cleaner player and had some individuality. Stump just tries to play maestro too hard and comes off sounding more like he works behind the meat counter at a deli.

What a mess...sounds more like he is trying to channel Rainbow and that frantic spazzy shit Blackmore started doing. The tone was also terrible and solo rushed which goes back to my point about him being a sloppy Yngwie.

Cesario Filho is literally Yngwie in his prime. Stump never played this cleanly. However, Stump does seem to play real Marshall’s, so he isn’t getting that super easy to play solid state sound and feel.

He's an awesome player but he badly needs his own identity.
 
just the name joe stump is about as marquee worthy as preparation h.
prime candidate for an alias stage name…

“Paging Mr. Stump — Yngwie J Malmsteen would like his licks back asap no questions asked!”

the craziest thing is the way Blackmore’s ridiculously arrogant attitude trickled down through YJM into some of the next gen clones.
contrary to the stories i met Yngwie in his prime and he was so nice to me.
Impelliteri i wanted to stab.

Strange because Impelliteri always comes off as the down to earth nice guy of that era. Was it early on in his career?

it was probably 86-87 ish?
heard he’s totally changed so i guess i take back the stab thing🤣
trying to play the part of rock star macho gun slinger LA guy is one thing, but i’ve never met a ruder arrogant F-list diva, and i’ve met and hung with some big stars who live such surreal lives i’d understand if they were sociopaths.
