McAlpine is a great shredder, but Vai's stuf is more artistic and soundscape creating...for example the Moon and I. I would call Vai a bit more complete when it comes to making music. But McAlpine deserves a lot of respect and is a great guitarplayer. Good performance of a straight ahead virtuostic rock song.
rofl all the people saying macalpine is better than vai, only morons think that 1 is better than the other, i've seen macalpine do things vai wouldn't do and seen vai do things macalpine couldn't do, so anyone stupidly comparing them needs a better understanding of music not being a competition, and even when it is, show me 1 vid of macalpine destroying vai, and ill show you 2 of the opposite, also vai has charm, macalpine just has ego
I agree SleepyMuse24; sometimes people comparing guitarists and other musicians in the "He's better than..." kinda way can be juvenile. Almost every musician has something to offer that's special that no one else can do.
Exactly, i mean ill have an opinion(which everyone does)but its not like i rate a guitarist on ONLY SOUND, ill take technique into consideration and the sound difference between different songs. But there is no REAL WAY to rate guitarists. Just listen to the people u like and leave it at that. And every musician does have somethin different to offer
so true, music is a matter of personal taste therefore what i think is better you may think it's not, so there's no way to judge (unless is a real piece of shit kind of music :D)
I agree with you, it should be put up louder. I went to this show when they were here in Budapest and it was one of the best shows I have ever seen! McAlpine kicks ass!
There's nothing wrong with voicing your opinion, but at their respective level, its more than who is better, It becomes personal preference, and you prefer McAlpine
I can't see where I disagree with a syllable of what your wrote.
I would add one thing, however: Vai shows A LOT of class and confidence by bringing MacAlpine aboard as a "sideman," and giving him so much time in the spotlight.
Maaaan... It's quite funny... the bass player plays as good as many solo guitarists. :D And Tony Mcalpine... that nigger can play on every fucking instrument he's the guru.
i've been listning to van halen for a decade now i pretty much know the lineup(sammy hagar is currently there frontman, I saw them live a few weeks ago on tv and the date of the tour was 2007/2008 and Hagar was the frontman). i'm talking about the tapping style that sheehan uses on the bass. it's the style that van halen uses. billy pretty much developed his style on the tapping by listning to van halen.
with vai and macalpine, it's really not who's best as much as it is about the individuals' respective talents and how well they synergize them into the music. I think that's what really shows the maturity and caliber of these musicians.
Oh, please: you know - you know full well - that Tony surpasses Vai technically (small chance? Ha, ha. Matter of fact, ask Vai) and is a more advanced musician. As for musical beauty, Tony has created music as " beautiful as Vai's. " In any case, though, and more to the point, both of them are absolutely unique and neither can outdo the other when it comes to doing their respective things.
all of you are complete knobs!! all 3 guitars the bass and drumer are all performers!! do you think steve vai would ask them to play if they were s h i t!! its all rehurst anyway!! just enjoy the music!! and stop bitching about it!!
Vai is my god. O.O He is everything you can ask to see in the music world. He creates his own Ultra world which he is alive in. Back to humanity: The parts at 2:08, 3:51, 4:04, 4:29 and 5:57 Fucking ROCKED and will always will O.O Who the hell am I kidding, the whole song is is a goddammed masterpiece! =) Long live Vai!
at 4:00-5:00 i saw them do this in concert it was so funny it looked like they were having gay sex pettruci fucking owned vai in some shred off and the black guy did some boring 12 minutes piano solo
STEVE VAI SUCKED THIS YEAR!
sorry man but he had two queer violinists one which was a 22 year old in some like purple dress
i too see one of his concert this year, he can fire violist but i must disagree that steve vai himself sucked, actually i think he is better then ever :D
I Love that steve plays with his mouth aswell :p
