Rob Marcello rocks and deserve to fill arenas. Sure he is really inspired by Yngwie, but is that bad? He is like Yngwie from Sweden, which is kind of cool.
yea malmsteens so damn overatted sure hes fast but at times its sloppy and gets boring listen to freidman, lane, gilbert, becker, even rob and they all have much much better feeling and emotion which really comes through in their playing
Uh yeah this is true but if it wasn't for malmsteen then none of these guys would've been inspired to supercede him in either feeling or technique. In any case YJM copies are still a milestone that most Heavy metal guitarists strive to accomplish. That says alot after almost 30 yrs!
your right malmsteen is still a great guitarist dont get me wrong but his limitations in combination with his piss poor attitude just make him unappealing to me but that doesnt mean i dont respect him as an inspiration and a great innovator
@MrRichardNoggin Yeah. Like if it wasn't Chuck berry it would've been someone else, like if it wasn't Joe Montana it would've someone else , like if it wasn't einstein it would've been someone else.... Not really using ur noggin richard
@chillichomper You got this wrong. Greg Howe, Allan Holdsworth, Steve Morse...more like those guitar players, since they are way more acomplished than YJM. They are alot more creative and Steve always amazes...Anyway, Rob is an amazing guitar player. In terms of technical ability, one of the very best.
@Kjutte1 that guy is really amazing, Im a huge fan but dude, without Yngwie Malmsteen that guy wouldnt even exist. I bet that if u ask him he will totally agree. malmsteen is the reason that companies started sign shredders and plus he is a fuckin amazing guitarist

You can play better than me? hahaha im 14 years old and i play joe satch musics man.... check my videos man plezz... I will check yorse. ok about that the tone is not bad.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i'm 6 years old and i am better than Robert Marcello. I can play this composition at double the speed. I am extremely smart hence the amazing vocabulary for a 6 year old.
haha never reference slayer when refering to good guitar players ever again haha and if u wana play some technical shit look up jeff loomis and jason becker
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
,,haha"..listen kid...Play the damn guitar and stop giving me inspirations that are to YOUR liking :), i know what i can play,and want to hear.I wouldn`t even put loomis next to jason in a sentence. I sure would love to see you play arpeggios and other stuff, but please give your advice to others that can`t play ;)
chill dude im not the one boasting about slayer i wish i had a camera to show your arrogant ass up and whats wrong with loomis? bet you cant play half the shit he does cover miles of machines or even born if you think its so easy
+ 1 greensmurf, malmsteem always do the same ... he's a very great player but in front of vai or marcello, they have an other way to see the musical staff and they're not everytime at 290bpm and with the same and repetitive ex, and I have to know that I was a hudge fan of malmsteen ;)
Poor souls, they are blind to the true music of Rob. Ironically, the fools that talk shit about people playing, let alone Rob, can only talk but can't back it up. Neither do they even have video of themselves play guitar.
man all your damn posers rob is a great guitarist try playing like him quit mentioning malmsteen and all the old guitar players new people come and can be as good or even better learn to appreciate good talent you douce bangs......God man all the time bashing good msuicians screw off!!That's all I have to say if you don't like it get lost...
how can anyone compare rob with tone etc over a youtube video? He sounds sick live, i heard hime twice. And he isnt an ego head like malmsteen, and people who talk smack, you wish your life you could play like him.
Okay, Rob is a great guitar player in my opinion. I appreciate God giving us the opportunity to even witness such talent. Thanks Rob for your heavenly guitar playing.
funny to hear all the posers ragging on Rob... Knowing damn well you couldn't possibly ever match his level of skill in your wettest of dreams. douchebags
I aggre! The only thing that seperates him from the shredders in every little shit town across America is that he has an endorsement deal! "Whocaresifyoucare" says it best when he said not everyone can stand out like Eddie or Yngwie, Jason, Vinnie or Tony. Those were the best of shred and guys like this are the rest!
You can't possibly compare this guy to Jason Becker, Vinnie Moore or Tony Macalpine. There isn't an ounce of originality in this guys playing. I love shred too, but not this. I'd rather listen to Paul Gilbert or Michael Schenker or Yngwie, Shawn Lane, Frank Gambale , Brett Garsed.
Some of the guys you mention are very over rated in my books.. Vinnie is a regurgitator of scales.. wow he's fast.. but there is no melody.. this song is beautiful..
Macalpine... I don't know what it is about him that you love.. I don't care... Becker is another technical freak with no soul... sorry dude.. you tone deaf..
It's funny you rail on those guys! Especially considering that EVERYTHING R. Marcello plays is totally derived from them! I've seen Brett Garsed, Al Dimeola, Shawn Lane, Frank Gambale, Yngwie live and this guy does'nt compare. I enjoy self indulgent guitar playing but you have to seperate yourself from the crowd.
Vinnie, Becker and Macalpine (from what I've seen) lack melody.. what I seen 'em play is fluid.. they're skillful... all these guys are skillful, but there is something lacking in the timing, and the changes... One note can grasp you... a thousand notes can bore you..
I agree with you that's a matter of taste. For the same reasons I like Vinnie and Tony MacAlpine you like R.Marcello! Maybe I'm a little harsh on him but I've heard everything he's playing 20 years ago.
piss off you racist prick :) Robs great! thanks for sharing, and i cant be bothered arguing with you, feel free to somehow "try outsmart me" come on, be the patriotic American everyone loves *rolls eyes*
Where are other musicians ? no drummer....no bass....no keyboard...hum...
