rusty cooley is the only guitarist who can satisfy me when it comes to speed playing..and that's what you called "feel" and for those who always criticize the world of shredding... get outa here metal rules!!! shred on!!!
You want shred metal + feeling? Check out this All Shall Perish song called "From So Far Away". I'm not sure, but I think Rustey is playing the guitar on this one.
alright for any1 who actually wants to listenm to a GUITARIST every1 go check out David Gilmour or if u must hear sumthing played fast in order to convince urself that its good play Gary Moore but not this awful awful awful shit that he plays....jus cos he plays fast does not mean hes any good, judging by this, an actual supposed song, he is not good at all
@behemoth2092 no it means he's talented but not melodic talent is different from sound he plays extremely difficult stuff at speed clean so he's a great guitarist not suposedly what is called melody and so on
@LordOctemeus WTF? I don't want to start shit, but I definitely think this guy could play Eruption. EVH is getting old man, not even HE can play Eruption like he used to. Plus it's probably because he's sober. He needs cocaine!!
For all you "FEELING" people. GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Sometimes we dont want feeling, sometimes we just want fucking shred metal, that will melt our brains. Some people like to just bang there heads to something fast, and awesome. You all have an superior attitude, as if rusty cant play with feeling if he really wanted, but he doesn't, he wants to play fast and awesome, because thats what his fans like .Besides, the end with the whammy bar was soulful, so fuck off.
It's exactly like he always plays. Fast, technical, lots of sweeping and virtually no emotion at all. It is literally him running through some exercises to a backing track. I have never liked Rusty's playing and this is no exception. He should learn how to apply the shred IN CONTEXT, as opposed to just jacking off whenever he gets a solo spot.
@ConnorFromHell95 Im getting pretty tired of people saying there is no feeling in fast, technical shred playing. What defines feeling? slowing moody playing? If you think that you might as well quit any instrument you play because you are not a true musician. This is how he and many other players express their feeling. Just because you dont feel it doesnt give you the right to state whether it has feeling or not. Another thing is, he doesnt have to play the way people want him to.
@skaterguy678 CONTINUATION He could be playing for the feeling and rush for himself. Just think, he has a pretty large fan base. why would they listen to him if they didnt get anything out of it? so, even if he is playing for himself, there are obviously other people in the world who feel the same way he does about his material. You never beat down on another musician because you dont like it. When a guitarist or any other musician takes the time and truley makes a solo they love,
@skaterguy678 (and unless you feel the same way he does), then whos to say it has no feeling. As for the shred in context. you clearly cant hear the individual notes and what they are outlining. As the song gets more energetic, so does Rusty. have a nice day and learn to not beat other musicians down.
@8thEastTexasBlues well i do, cause im a guitarist and i have to hear all the 15 year old kids who think that guitar is all about playing fast tell me that dragonforce is the best fucking band in the world, when guitarists like Petrucci, Satriani, and Vai have more fucking talent in one finger than herman li does in his whole goddamn hand. Don't get me wrong i respect Rusty Cooley as guitarist because he is one of the best shredders in the world, but he has no emotion.
This guy is really AMAZING. But I think theres something missing on him, that feeling that makes guitarists like Eddie Van Halen and Jimmy Page immortal legends. You see, Page couldnt play 3 notes without messin at least one of them live, but Led Zeppelin is still the best live band ever, and Page is a guitar God. Cooley is obviously fast and talented, and we must respect that, but in MY OPINION Dimebag, Satch, Page etc. have something else that makes them great. Sense of innovation, maybe.
@VH5150VH ...not maybe, it is. Sense of innovation, being able to mix hammerons, pulloffs, picking techniques, scales, appegios, and much more is something that takes alot of drugs and practice to mix together to make a pure harmonic sound each time.
Or perhaps that the struggle for... "guitar supremacy" these days is harder than ever, and that it can only take you so far since the media and the world is in a different place in regards of the music industry. I mean its not like they are going to show something like this on MTV. And because of that, alot of recognition is lost. This was quite the opposite back in the days. Today this kind of music and these kind of players have to REALLY stand out of the crowd, just to get noticed.
This video is about Rusty Cooley, not my opinions that you guys think are idiotic, so stop commenting on my comments, and start commenting on the video.
Pantera didn't rip off exhorder. Neither Pantera or Exhorder got really groove metal until their second album and vulgar display came out before exhorders second album. So you can shut the fuck up and stop talking about dimebag darrell on a rusty cooley video.
The singers sound the same, the riff sound the same, the only thing that's different is the guitaring. Cowboys from hell was just a huge Exhorder fest. Sure, they strayed away from that later in their carreer, but to get themselves known they needed to take everything from exhorders 1988 demo.
Explain, because if it's because I think Pantera and Dimebag are awful, than I'm not stupid. I'm a person, who has an opinion, that you think is stupid.
exhorder, exhorder, is that all you ever think about? yes, they heavily influenced an entire genre, just because they started a sound dosnt mean everyone else directly ripped them off, part of having a certain "sound" is that they "sound" similar. just because they are a failed band that was a heavy influence doesn't mean everyone else is worse cuz they copied them, take for instance the band Anvil, they practically invented 80's thrash and many bands even admit to copying their sound, so what.
No, I really don't enjoy either bands, but I know enough about each of them to come to an educated conclusion. DIMEBAG ADMITS TO HAVING RIPPED THEM OFF. What's different from that and you're very poorly executed example of Anvil, is that Pantera took riffs, and edited them slightly and used them, and became famous for them.
@TheMylesky i understand what you're saying but dimebag was good but far from great. he was one of those people who learned one style of music and most of his riffs sounded the same just slightly different. put him up against a real guitarist like chris broderick who is very diverse and it is no contest. dimebag had alot of raw talent but seemed scared to unleash it and move away from his comfort zone. no disrespct to the guy he did do alot for metal.
@MyownPrison89 Dimebag was Fantastic in my opinion, not only did he come up with the riffs but also the solos for his band... Chris Broderick is diverse, technical, virtuoso, can play all kinds of things flamenco, classical, spanish, indian, folk, metal, jazz, blues, rock, celtic, russian and what not, yeah its true he can... But as far as stature in Metal Folklore is concerned Chris is nowhere close to Dime's Signature licks and riffs and that pinch \m/
@johnscraco no way man. i wonder if broderick had been killed on stage, would you be singing a different tune? at least you know who he is. maybe dimebag would have been better had he had a great guitarist to play with. we'll never know.
@MyownPrison89 Dimebag did what he loved, played balls out, completely american sounding thrash riffs, shit thats perfect for getting drunk to, which were the two things he did best. Dimebag never did anything remotely pretty with his playing and never expanded because he is probably the most aggressive player to ever pick up a guitar. For him to branch off into stuff like this and be very melody based would have been the equivalent to someone like Eric Johnson taking a spot in Slayer :P
No. Shredding takes strict practice of scales every day. Which is a good thing, because it allows you to play more creatively, not just rehearse them quickly...
@LessthanJake14 you get thumbs down for misunderstanding the quote, way to try and make fun of "shredders" with a quote from a well respected "shredder"
@MarcusFenixtheMan Your point being? How have I misunderstood that quote? Devin is vocally critical of shredding because he himself much of his time playing fast when it fills no musical void.
@LessthanJake14 when he said that he meant that playing fast isn't the only element of being a good guitar player, he did NOT mean that fast playing automatically removes any "feel" from your playing, later on in that video he actually starts making fun of people with your point of view as well
@MarcusFenixtheMan Of course speed does not negate feeling, but when it sounds like a fucking ARCADE MACHINE, reducing music to nothing more than a show of proficiency; then it does destroy the feeling of the music.
@LessthanJake14 and who are you to decide whether or not this is nothing more than a show of proficiency, did you talk to rusty himself and ask him exactly how much "feel" he put into this, in the clearly defined unit we have to measure "feel" in the first place?
also you just proved my point shredding obviously takes natural talent to make it sound like more than just an "arcade machine" (btw this sounds nothing like an arcade machine)
@MarcusFenixtheMan A) Of course this is all subjective but, genius, there is no objectivity with FUCKING MUSIC.
B) Okay, hello massive leap in logic. So, all of a sudden speed automatically equals shredding. And "does not negate feeling" turns to NATURAL TALENT. Do I even need to explain how dumb you are here? No? Good.
C) And have you heard of Rusty's other songs? I'll admit he is an outstandingly disciplined guitar player, but his shredding is just arcade. Warcry solo case in point.
"See I actually want to write MUSIC, not piss around and sound like an arcade machine"
"anyone and their dog can play wanky guitar"
these are exact quotes from you, it's obvious you think playing fast (which is the same as shredding, because shredding is a word people use to describe fast playing, i feel bad for you that i actually have to explain this) is bad
@LessthanJake14 cux it's takes no talent and has no "feel", the logic lapse here is that it obviously takes talent to shred without soundin like nothing more than an "arcade machine", which is objective, but to a certain extent it isn't, some things are clearly musical and well composed regardless of your opinion
C)im guessin your talking about the part at 4:10? again this sounds nothing like an arcade machine, this sounds like 4 note per string runs, probably cuz they're 4 note per string runs
@MarcusFenixtheMan Yes, some things are well composed musically, but that requires at least A) a trained ear or generally 'good' ear (ie, not tone deaf), B) some musical knowledge.
Fast-playing: Meshuggah - Combustion. Fast for the sake of atmosphere.
Shredding: Outworld - Warcry solo. Fast to show off. See how the solo doesn't fit the song?
And no, I'm talking about the song...Warcry by Outworld. Listen to it. Come back to me and say "Yep that solo does not sound like an arcade machine".
@MarcusFenixtheMan Did I say once that Warcry was not music? Nooo, I don't believe I did. You make so many fucking assumptions which are just ill-founded.
prove me wrong? how are you trying to prove me wrong? and as for me not being a hotshot, hell, i know im not, i freakin suck compaired to almost everyonelse, but atleast i've got the damn balls to put a vid up and as for giving ur band a listen? i'd rather listen to a damn car alarm 24/7 which is probably what you and your band sound like. and dont dog me for what i say im entitlted to my opinion just like you, but i dont care about yours so go talk to someone who cares
Now now, wether or not Rusty has emotion when he is playing is irrelevant, yes its good to see a a true player having the time of his life and loving what he/she is playing, but everyone still has to admit to the fact that he is an outstanding musician. If you want to see one of the best doing what they love and live for, look up some Dimebag Darrell, he plays with the most emotion i've ever seen come out of a guitarist, truely the best!
Yeah, well, that whole emotion thing is crap, in the philharmonic orchestra they don't play "with emotion" and yet they are THE best musicians. For example, saying that John Petrucci sucks because he's "too mechanical", is ridiculous.
I mean, swinging your head aroung and making silly faces doesn't mean anything if you can't play your instrument well.
i dont believe i was talking to you, and hell, if you think my comment was stupid, then how bout you post a video and lets see if you can play better than Rusty or Dime, because im 100% positive that you cant
He may have been over rated but still, he was one of the best to ever live, and alot of people are influenced by his music, and without him, alot of music wouldnt be the same
you clearly dont either, i said BOTH guitarist are good and you said they werent, you said you were better than both, so obviusly your very self indulged
i wasnt calling prog tharsh metal car alarm music, i was calling YOUR BAND A CAR ALARM BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE A CAR ALARM. and im dont with you your a waste of my time
heck ya it does and i dont care cause your band isnt gonna amount to anything sounding like a car alarm except maybe some car company wanting to make u thier car alarm
sorry mate but just because you don't like a guitarist doesn't mean that they r awful. Thats just a fucking ridiculously narrow minded thing to say. Dimebag was a huge inspiration, he wrote some of sickest, darkest riffs ever. Just because you obviously don't like that style of playing doesn't mean its awful, just means you hav no taste aha
only problem i have with that is that you're comparing one musician to an entire band... meaning that you'd compare Rusty's drumming and singing skills (which i doubt he has any)
lol why is everybody so obsessed with the misfits shirt :P, cant musicians wear bandcloth they like :P? Instead of the shirt you better watch the insane solo =D riders <3
This is gonna piss a lot of people off, but, Rusty Cooley plays with all the feeling of an arm that has fallen asleep. Totally numb. And for all you whiners that are going to say "It's shredding, it's not about feeling", well, you're wrong. Their are plenty of shredders that can shred with feeling, emotion, and at least some personality. This guy looks and plays like a complete TOOL. How gay are is poses from about 40 seconds through to the end. It's comical really.
First of all, learn what "tool" means, since you obviously don't know how to use it. Secondly, if he doesn't have any "feeling", as all you simpletons put it, why the hell would he bother playing guitar? If you didn't see any "feeling" in that, then you must be deaf and blind.
You also bitch about poses? What's he supposed to do, stand there like a mannequin? However, you probably wouldn't complain about a Blues guitarist doing his "thing" that shows "feeling".
XguitrfreekX.....I thought plenty about my statement. First of all, I don't know what your definition of the slang word "tool" is, but everyone I know uses it in the term of the guy is a dick or a dickhead. Second of all, where is the "feeling" in this solo? Just because he plays the same crap he plays when he's jerking off the fretboard, only slower, does NOT mean there is feeling in it. You must be a newbie on guitar if you think so. Now for the "poses" he looks like a total fag. Live with it.
So even with your definition of "tool", you think this guy is a dick ... because he's playing guitar? Wow, no logical fallacies in that.
I never said because he's playing slow, he has feeling. I don't know where you got that, but OK. Again, let me reiterate. If he has no feeling, he wouldn't be playing the guitar. Get that through you skull.
And for the poses? He looks like a fag? Maybe he's showing to the crowd what he's ... what's that word again, oh yeah, FEELING.
So, dude, let me get this straight. Anyone who plays guitar, plays with feeling. You think he plays with feeling just for the simple fact that he's playing guitar.
As far as his poses, I still say it has nothing to do with "feeling" and everything to do with "look at me, I am a guitar God. Aren't you impressed by my greatness and faggity see through shirt?"
Dude, your logic defies facts. Like I said, you MUST be a newbie.
My logic defies facts? You call him a faggot because of his poses, and you think he believes that he's better than everyone else.
You call him a faggot because he wore that shirt.
You say he plays with no feeling, even though he's bothered playing so many years and write music. If you think he plays with no feeling, you are the "newbie".
Unless you are in his shoes, don't say that he thinks this and believes that.
You're saying he plays with no feeling because you obviously dislike his style and find it boring - it does nothing for you, it has no emotional depth for you. But truly, the only person that can determine whether or not he's playing with any feeling is him. You may think his style is shit and boring and totally devoid of any emotion, but how do you know what he feels when he plays? Unless you have a clip of him saying, "I feel nothing when I play guitar, it does nothing for me," don't assume.
Excellent post! Now THAT statement cannot be argued with. You're right. His playing style does absolutely nothing for me. Although I'm sure when he's playing, he feels like he's king of the world and no one can touch him, as his ludicrous facial expressions show. Personally, I think he's bottom of the heap. Now Paul Gilbert, to me, is a shredder that plays with tons of emotion. Search for Paul Gilbert with Freddie Nelson. Pulsar and Waste of Time. A little "pop sounding" but very good.
Good lord, you're intelligent! Sweet! I'm so used to YouTube people that I was half expecting you to just call me a fag... It's nice to encounter someone online who can actually construct logical thoughts.
gullagullagulla, I thought the same thing when I read your post. "Ah! Finally, someone intelligent with something to say that actually has been thought out and has meaning!" I have been known to rag on people. But only when they start in with me. Then I give it right back. Just to clarify for some people, I never said Rusty didn't have skills. He has MAD skills. I'm actually jealous of his skills. I just think he could use some help conveying the emotion he feels to the audience. That's all.
lol you two argue and then you say hey you know what.. "i thing we can be freinds!" you two entertain me greatly! its funny to see educated people argue its alot more fun rather than a fag. you're mama bitch!!! yur a pussy suck my balls lol
Actually, I never argued with gullagullagulla. He made complete sense to me so there was no way to argue with him. There is nothing wrong with an intelligent disagreement. People can disagree but still be "friends" or whatever. I see no reason to start calling someone "fag", "you suck", "yo momma" and all that shit online. If someone pisses me off, I'd rather take care of business face to face, know what I mean. Lot's of "tough guys" hiding behind their computer screen out there.
yeah i totally agree its more of a reason just to prove your dominance in the internet world. just like people who swear or use a curse word in replacement of a more sifisticated adjective... just shows their lack of maturity. I'm tired of when ever i give my opinion and explaination of why i dont like a video im automatically bombarded by a load of hate mail. it wont ever contain any reasons to back up their claim just " yur a fag"and "suck my balls"
lol very well said just another day for the youtubers with high IQs to prove concited people wrong i love comment ing the wide range of sarcasm and smartassness(lol) impresses me haha but he has talent though no feeling would be him standing still with a blank look on his face staring emotionlessly into the sky, with eyes wide open but still...it all sums up to....BADASS!!!!!!!!
yea, so this is proving what great feel rusty cooley has... I rest my case, lol
a few long notes doesn't suddenly make a melody. All the note choices are about as obvious as possible, and as a melody it just doesn't flow. Face it, the guy has monster chops but when it comes to creative and imaginative solos, he's light years behind most of the top players.
there is when it sounds nothing like him. Sure, the notes are roughly there but it's got absolutely nothing of the beauty of pachelbel. And no, the speed isn't the issue- because a lot of guys are capable of shredding mammoth chops and still sounding great. But his fast stuff is tasteless and his slow stuff is painful. For feel and speed I think Gottardo and Vai are light years ahead in the shred world.
Dude Im sorry but that strap is WAY too high. Not for appearance, but for playing. A lot of times I see when players lower their strap it's more comfortable and their playing has potental to improve. Not that Rustey really can though..
You know, people always say Rusty has one speed and all of his playing sounds the same; but I thought this solo had some some really nice melodies in it.
how about we just shut the fuck up about who is more metal and ENJOY THE FUCKING MUSIC!!!! who cares if someone is emo or not metal enough or they sold out. who gives a shit!? its music is meant to be enjoyed listen to what you like and stop fighting over whats more metal then the other. its FUCKING MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rusty is badass!!! But he must have done every minute of his practicing sitting down because he straps his guitar almost up to his chin. Yep, that's about the only negative thing I can say about Rusty. Everything else is just totally awesome.
Well I think its the fact that what hes playing is at such a high technical level that would render almost physically impossible to play as clean, fast, and controlled as he's playing it right now. Thats not a negative either thats a positive that he at least realizes he needs it high. Reminds me of the Beatles actually haha

His leads, yes they were influential (as simple (technically speaking) as they were), but the rythyms were blatant Exhorder rip offs.
On top of that all Pantera really did, was influence the metalcore/deathcore/nu-metal bands of today, which the scene is over populated by.
So all Pantera did was rip off bands, and influence more shitty, talentless ones.
ProgThrasher6666 2 years ago
Pantera didn't rip off exhorder. Neither Pantera or Exhorder got really groove metal until their second album and vulgar display came out before exhorders second album. So you can shut the fuck up and stop talking about dimebag darrell on a rusty cooley video.
itchyballz300 2 years ago 4
The singers sound the same, the riff sound the same, the only thing that's different is the guitaring. Cowboys from hell was just a huge Exhorder fest. Sure, they strayed away from that later in their carreer, but to get themselves known they needed to take everything from exhorders 1988 demo.

ProgThrasher6666 2 years ago
exhorder, exhorder, is that all you ever think about? yes, they heavily influenced an entire genre, just because they started a sound dosnt mean everyone else directly ripped them off, part of having a certain "sound" is that they "sound" similar. just because they are a failed band that was a heavy influence doesn't mean everyone else is worse cuz they copied them, take for instance the band Anvil, they practically invented 80's thrash and many bands even admit to copying their sound, so what.
mrEmu7 2 years ago
No, I really don't enjoy either bands, but I know enough about each of them to come to an educated conclusion. DIMEBAG ADMITS TO HAVING RIPPED THEM OFF. What's different from that and you're very poorly executed example of Anvil, is that Pantera took riffs, and edited them slightly and used them, and became famous for them.

@TheMylesky i understand what you're saying but dimebag was good but far from great. he was one of those people who learned one style of music and most of his riffs sounded the same just slightly different. put him up against a real guitarist like chris broderick who is very diverse and it is no contest. dimebag had alot of raw talent but seemed scared to unleash it and move away from his comfort zone. no disrespct to the guy he did do alot for metal.
MyownPrison89 1 year ago
@MyownPrison89 Dimebag was Fantastic in my opinion, not only did he come up with the riffs but also the solos for his band... Chris Broderick is diverse, technical, virtuoso, can play all kinds of things flamenco, classical, spanish, indian, folk, metal, jazz, blues, rock, celtic, russian and what not, yeah its true he can... But as far as stature in Metal Folklore is concerned Chris is nowhere close to Dime's Signature licks and riffs and that pinch \m/
johnscraco 1 year ago
@johnscraco no way man. i wonder if broderick had been killed on stage, would you be singing a different tune? at least you know who he is. maybe dimebag would have been better had he had a great guitarist to play with. we'll never know.
MyownPrison89 1 year ago
@MyownPrison89 Dimebag did what he loved, played balls out, completely american sounding thrash riffs, shit thats perfect for getting drunk to, which were the two things he did best. Dimebag never did anything remotely pretty with his playing and never expanded because he is probably the most aggressive player to ever pick up a guitar. For him to branch off into stuff like this and be very melody based would have been the equivalent to someone like Eric Johnson taking a spot in Slayer :P

@MarcusFenixtheMan Your point being? How have I misunderstood that quote? Devin is vocally critical of shredding because he himself much of his time playing fast when it fills no musical void.
LessthanJake14 1 year ago
@LessthanJake14 when he said that he meant that playing fast isn't the only element of being a good guitar player, he did NOT mean that fast playing automatically removes any "feel" from your playing, later on in that video he actually starts making fun of people with your point of view as well
MarcusFenixtheMan 1 year ago
@MarcusFenixtheMan Of course speed does not negate feeling, but when it sounds like a fucking ARCADE MACHINE, reducing music to nothing more than a show of proficiency; then it does destroy the feeling of the music.
LessthanJake14 1 year ago
@LessthanJake14 and who are you to decide whether or not this is nothing more than a show of proficiency, did you talk to rusty himself and ask him exactly how much "feel" he put into this, in the clearly defined unit we have to measure "feel" in the first place?
also you just proved my point shredding obviously takes natural talent to make it sound like more than just an "arcade machine" (btw this sounds nothing like an arcade machine)
MarcusFenixtheMan 1 year ago
@MarcusFenixtheMan A) Of course this is all subjective but, genius, there is no objectivity with FUCKING MUSIC.
B) Okay, hello massive leap in logic. So, all of a sudden speed automatically equals shredding. And "does not negate feeling" turns to NATURAL TALENT. Do I even need to explain how dumb you are here? No? Good.
C) And have you heard of Rusty's other songs? I'll admit he is an outstandingly disciplined guitar player, but his shredding is just arcade. Warcry solo case in point.

@LessthanJake14 @LessthanJake14 A) then don't offer up you're opinion like its law
B) "Implying shredding takes natural talent."
"See I actually want to write MUSIC, not piss around and sound like an arcade machine"
"anyone and their dog can play wanky guitar"
these are exact quotes from you, it's obvious you think playing fast (which is the same as shredding, because shredding is a word people use to describe fast playing, i feel bad for you that i actually have to explain this) is bad
MarcusFenixtheMan 1 year ago
@LessthanJake14 cux it's takes no talent and has no "feel", the logic lapse here is that it obviously takes talent to shred without soundin like nothing more than an "arcade machine", which is objective, but to a certain extent it isn't, some things are clearly musical and well composed regardless of your opinion
C)im guessin your talking about the part at 4:10? again this sounds nothing like an arcade machine, this sounds like 4 note per string runs, probably cuz they're 4 note per string runs
MarcusFenixtheMan 1 year ago
@MarcusFenixtheMan Yes, some things are well composed musically, but that requires at least A) a trained ear or generally 'good' ear (ie, not tone deaf), B) some musical knowledge.
Fast-playing: Meshuggah - Combustion. Fast for the sake of atmosphere.
Shredding: Outworld - Warcry solo. Fast to show off. See how the solo doesn't fit the song?
And no, I'm talking about the song...Warcry by Outworld. Listen to it. Come back to me and say "Yep that solo does not sound like an arcade machine".
LessthanJake14 1 year ago

Now now, wether or not Rusty has emotion when he is playing is irrelevant, yes its good to see a a true player having the time of his life and loving what he/she is playing, but everyone still has to admit to the fact that he is an outstanding musician. If you want to see one of the best doing what they love and live for, look up some Dimebag Darrell, he plays with the most emotion i've ever seen come out of a guitarist, truely the best!
R.I.P. "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott
jordorunway 2 years ago
Yeah, well, that whole emotion thing is crap, in the philharmonic orchestra they don't play "with emotion" and yet they are THE best musicians. For example, saying that John Petrucci sucks because he's "too mechanical", is ridiculous.
I mean, swinging your head aroung and making silly faces doesn't mean anything if you can't play your instrument well.
So you heave a point there.

This is gonna piss a lot of people off, but, Rusty Cooley plays with all the feeling of an arm that has fallen asleep. Totally numb. And for all you whiners that are going to say "It's shredding, it's not about feeling", well, you're wrong. Their are plenty of shredders that can shred with feeling, emotion, and at least some personality. This guy looks and plays like a complete TOOL. How gay are is poses from about 40 seconds through to the end. It's comical really.
betteroffshred 2 years ago
First of all, learn what "tool" means, since you obviously don't know how to use it. Secondly, if he doesn't have any "feeling", as all you simpletons put it, why the hell would he bother playing guitar? If you didn't see any "feeling" in that, then you must be deaf and blind.
You also bitch about poses? What's he supposed to do, stand there like a mannequin? However, you probably wouldn't complain about a Blues guitarist doing his "thing" that shows "feeling".
Think a little next time.
XguitrfreekX 2 years ago
XguitrfreekX.....I thought plenty about my statement. First of all, I don't know what your definition of the slang word "tool" is, but everyone I know uses it in the term of the guy is a dick or a dickhead. Second of all, where is the "feeling" in this solo? Just because he plays the same crap he plays when he's jerking off the fretboard, only slower, does NOT mean there is feeling in it. You must be a newbie on guitar if you think so. Now for the "poses" he looks like a total fag. Live with it.
betteroffshred 2 years ago
So even with your definition of "tool", you think this guy is a dick ... because he's playing guitar? Wow, no logical fallacies in that.
I never said because he's playing slow, he has feeling. I don't know where you got that, but OK. Again, let me reiterate. If he has no feeling, he wouldn't be playing the guitar. Get that through you skull.
And for the poses? He looks like a fag? Maybe he's showing to the crowd what he's ... what's that word again, oh yeah, FEELING.
XguitrfreekX 2 years ago 2
So, dude, let me get this straight. Anyone who plays guitar, plays with feeling. You think he plays with feeling just for the simple fact that he's playing guitar.
As far as his poses, I still say it has nothing to do with "feeling" and everything to do with "look at me, I am a guitar God. Aren't you impressed by my greatness and faggity see through shirt?"
Dude, your logic defies facts. Like I said, you MUST be a newbie.
betteroffshred 2 years ago
My logic defies facts? You call him a faggot because of his poses, and you think he believes that he's better than everyone else.
You call him a faggot because he wore that shirt.
You say he plays with no feeling, even though he's bothered playing so many years and write music. If you think he plays with no feeling, you are the "newbie".
Unless you are in his shoes, don't say that he thinks this and believes that.
XguitrfreekX 2 years ago 2
You're saying he plays with no feeling because you obviously dislike his style and find it boring - it does nothing for you, it has no emotional depth for you. But truly, the only person that can determine whether or not he's playing with any feeling is him. You may think his style is shit and boring and totally devoid of any emotion, but how do you know what he feels when he plays? Unless you have a clip of him saying, "I feel nothing when I play guitar, it does nothing for me," don't assume.
gullagullagulla 2 years ago 6
Excellent post! Now THAT statement cannot be argued with. You're right. His playing style does absolutely nothing for me. Although I'm sure when he's playing, he feels like he's king of the world and no one can touch him, as his ludicrous facial expressions show. Personally, I think he's bottom of the heap. Now Paul Gilbert, to me, is a shredder that plays with tons of emotion. Search for Paul Gilbert with Freddie Nelson. Pulsar and Waste of Time. A little "pop sounding" but very good.

I'm actually jealous of his skills. I just think he could use some help conveying the emotion he feels to the audience. That's all.

a few long notes doesn't suddenly make a melody. All the note choices are about as obvious as possible, and as a melody it just doesn't flow. Face it, the guy has monster chops but when it comes to creative and imaginative solos, he's light years behind most of the top players.

there is when it sounds nothing like him. Sure, the notes are roughly there but it's got absolutely nothing of the beauty of pachelbel. And no, the speed isn't the issue- because a lot of guys are capable of shredding mammoth chops and still sounding great. But his fast stuff is tasteless and his slow stuff is painful. For feel and speed I think Gottardo and Vai are light years ahead in the shred world.
