But it's always the way guys, the best musicians are the ones who nobody's heard of. People don't like decent music anymore, music companies endorse only what will make them money, and that's tits and make-up.
first heard of him on James LaBrie's solo's...VERY tasty licks!!! (to say the very least)...SOOOO bummed to have missed him in San Antonio (I'm in Austin) back in Dec....WAY my bad!
@Ozznize That may be different if people like Marco were actually exposed to the public. Most of this generation's music is easy-to-make garbage compared to the masterpieces people like Marco make.
@MrRyubusa None of us have a superior taste in music. There is somebody out there how likes "easy-to-make-garbage" music just as much as you like Marco's music. But dude just like squirrels fuck squirrels and lion fuck lions, guitarists listen to guitar music. I wouldn't mind Marco having more success than justin bieber but i'm also realistic and know that this isn't mainstream music and cant be sold as such
@Ozznize I know exactly where you're coming from, but a lot of mainstream music in the 60s, 70s, 80s and even 90s was superb... Of course it's not at Marco's level of composing and technique... but it "mainstream" music has really hit the shitter. I'm just worried that it's only going to get worse... The music industry doesn't have to expose guitar virtuosos like Marco, but it would be great if some mainstream music had a real guitar solo instead of three half notes...
@Ozznize I don't really see how "j-pop" is related to this at all, I don't listen to it. Was that supposed to be some sort of insult? I'm not sure I follow :P
@MrRyubusa it was a joke...but at the same time its true. j-pop is mainstream music in japan, surprise surprise, but still it does include guitar solos and other "less known things" = mainstream music with qualities that you want. but no trying to insult anyone here
"this isn't mainstream music and cannot be sold as such" that could change. before i was introduced to my first metal song i just listened to whatever i heard on the radio because that's all i knew. fortunately, a dragonball z movie came out and introduced to my first metal song and blew me away. from then i realized there was different music out there besides mainstream stuff and i liked it better. it's often a matter of people hearing of it rather than what the music is :)
@Fluffypopcicle if you like the music they play on the radios why would you search for more? the music is there for all of those who feel the need for something different or feel like they arent hearing what they want to.
i used to like it because i didn't know there was anything different, therefore i didn't search for more because i didn't think there was anymore out there. i explained that in my previous comment.
@Ozznize Ah now I know what you mean :P Also I see a lot instrumental guitar playing itself much more mainstream in Japan than in north america, but obviously still not the center of attention.
@Vinnie995 hopefully he'll get more famous since he recorded for James LaBrie on his new solo album. If he tours with him too he might get more famous
When I hear Marco, there is, Satch, Vai, Petrucci, leo Fabrizio, Luke, Carlton, Beck, the point is Marco with the Genius ear is indomitable.. The Best Marco.. great tone , beautful melody sense, oh and Greg Howe..in there as well.. Cheers Marco, we all wish .......... we could.
simply...amazing!! I'm at that point where i've been playing n studying music for awhile n I have musical depression where nothing sounds new fresh or interesting anymore. nothing catches my ear like it used to. Then Marco came along and invaded my mind with such force i nearly exploded into the atmosphere. It's like Vai and Petrucci 2 of my favorite guitar players adopted a son in the 80's and raised him in the ways of 6 String KICK ASS!!!! Thank U Marco
@foreverfallout Steve Vai's Flexable album seems to have sold pretty well, despite the artwork obviously being commisioned by some sort of... very unartistic person, I suppose. Though I do agree this album cover doesn't do Marco justice; would be hard to find an image that does, the guy's a genius.
@markwade08 also petruccish flavors i think cuz he played many years with a music man jp guitar and because he played on james labrie (singer of dream theater) solo album...
So as I look at the record cover I see smokestacks, the earth covered by desert, someone facepalming, dice...........yes we are gambling with our future here on earth....Marco must be green (yay)........I'm happy to see a record that stands up for good ol' earth, and against the forces of climate change.........
ciao sono un ragazzo di Napoli, ho 20 anni e suono il basso.....credetemi pezzi come questi (anche se sono rari) sono belli sia da suonare (in gruppo o da soli) che da ascoltare....per non dire quanto è bello farli ascoltare al pubblico.....cotinuo a sognare di fare cose simili in giro per il globo...anche se per ora rimarrà solo un sogno perchè emrgere musicalmente qui è davvero complicato...
Specialmente per chi ha questo tipo di cultura musicale!
Pare che la musica diventi sempre più banale [mi riferisco ovviamente all'house anche se non so ancora bene se poterla definire musica]e quindi tanto per chi sente questo tipo di pezzi quanto per chi li suona, è difficilissimo emergere!
Speriamo di ritornare in alto almeno dal punto di vista musicale!
