you play like a pro, but let me give you my opinion: you looked a little too much confident in these auditions with all that posing, eye blinking and stuff.. also, in part 4 of round 2, one vision, you played as if you were with your buddies just having fun, paying too much attention to marc's higher notes. The guy at your right in part 4 is more focused on the music and on the backing vocals. So humbleness, professionalism and focus IMO. Your I want to break free and keep yourself alive rock.
I can't believe you didn't make the cut...I've been a Queen fan since the beginning of time, and you were the stand-out best, with no stupid cheesy moves, with your own style that truly complemented the song, just the right amount of innovation - what you did shows you are a musician with real finesse! I think you're great! love to know what else you do, and if you have a CD! From one musician to another - a VERY nice job...maybe they didn't like that you sat, and made it look all too easy!?
Hey Roy - - Sorry you didn't 'win', but actually, you're MUCH better than a Queen Wannabe. You remind me of a young Carlos Santant. Your 'chops' and stage charisma are excellent. Ten years from now that other guy will be a former Queen Mimic, and you will be famous on your own. - Russ
My biggest disappointment in the outcome is not having you in the band. Your playing and style are awesome! I am sure the music world will be hearing much of Roy Ziv in the future...
@TheMetalmadhatter the thing is that he did do it live he just didn't use the sound from the video because the sound quality on macs is bad. and i think he did impress you in some way because you keep leaving comments. everyone is entitled to their own opinion if you didn't like it that's all you but you don't have to write how lame it is 3 times. i wouldn't continue to watch something if i thought it was "lame" and if i "didn't like his face"... that's just MY opinion.
"i think he did impress you in some way because you keep leaving comments. everyone is entitled to their own opinion if you didn't like it that's all you but you don't have to write how lame it is 3 times."
lmao this guy watched the video over 100 times to point out all the flaws.. then doubled back to see this video everyday for the next month because he's jealous of these magical skills.
@TheMetalmadhatter haha yooo why do you hate him so much... is it actually because you don't like his playing or because you wish you could do what he does? I've seen him do this stuff live.... the best guitar player I know.... but i guess when you're that good you'll always have haters
@cnslaven I do think he is pretty good and has some chops, but this audition wasn't very good.. What he played didn't fit the song, It was kind of lame...also that it wasn't live. Sorry, that's just me. He didn't impress me.
it clearly fits the song, and clearly one of the best auditions which is why he made it to the finals.
and if you dont believe he can do this live with no rehearsal, you're an even bigger idiot.
But all insults aside, let's see some musical talent from this very oppinionated man known as "TheMetalmadhatter".. and lets see just what you mean by "impressive"
If you watch close on this video he is not playing it live. Another guy playing along with a prerecorded track. Most noticeable is at 2:07 right after his overdub lick he realizes he is in the wrong spot and slides down to cover up but the audio match this. It was a planned prerecorded solo. He could of pretended to play behind his head and you would have believed it.
@TheMetalmadhatter It might be that he played with a pre recorded track. It looks like he played through it, fixed his mistakes after and added overdubs. I can see he fingers are not matching up on some of his playing.
It was a difficult decision as there was some great competition there, but you got my vote. As a huge Queen fan, and fellow guitarist, I was looking for someone who had the skill, and the 'feel', who could do the Queen licks, but also put their own personality into it, without crossing the 'showing off' line! Well done!
Good luck!! Looking forward to hearing more from you!
You got my vote dude. Nice rhythm and flow. Doesn't matter much that you didn't play along with the chugging part - you can tell you could easily do it. I am one of the drummers in the semis (Marc Sherman). Would be cool to jam with you. :)
I can't handle that smile at 0:26, it's so awesome. Your personality, you little sliding up and down the guitar sounds (i'm no guitar expert haha), the nice little riffs, you got my vote and hopefully you make it into the finals!
Awesome man!I've been playing for 40 yrs and you've got my vote :) For all the comments about playing the rhythm wtf, this is a competition, i can play the rhythm with my feet, the man is showing his skills!
Your right Nella & Mecmar. If he was doing the whole song properly he wouldnt be able to the 2 handed glide wank fretboard flash that so easily impresses you guys. My bad......
@zepperhand Ouch zepperhand. I dabble in guitar and wish I could play with such ease. He's not stiff and he's enoying himself. You live, you learn, then you get Luvs.
@zepperhand oh great, your an idiot too.... why is everyone just an idiot nowadays? can't appreciate good shit when you see it... ESPECIALLY this zipperhead loser. i mean dude if you're gonna talk shit, at least post a video or compete in the competition to let that talk for you.. cuz all i see is a bunch of idiotic words
@NellaTorre haha great comment. Zepperhand you're an idiot. why would he play rhythm over rhythm? lol!! and his lix are perfectly placed. damn, this kids got my vote!
