Firth of fifth (Guitar wars)

[eurojammer47]

L'inizio, anche se lo so che è un caso, pare l'inizio di Domino dei Genesis, quelli però di un secolo dopo ed anni luce distanti da Hackett....

[benlorenc]

hackett... you can do soooo mnuch better

[millsy2010]

I could understand criticism of Genesis if this is how Phil drummed.. how to make a great piece of music as boring as hell!

[Sergione59]

Grande!! Che peccato per i Genesis aver perso oltre il magico Peter anche il mitico Steve!!!

[elguillerebacan]

QUE BUEN SOLO LA CONCHA DE TU MADRE

[lorenic95]

oh no i'm a drummer and i can't hear this...poor phil collins...anyway, great steve

[kimikazzo]

semplicemente..... DA BRIVIDO!

[uttersman]

greatest guitar solo of all time!

[66tull]

@uttersman Listen to the guitar solos in Marillion's Easter, Sugar Mice, Forgotten Sons, Incubus, Tux On.

[uttersman]

@ skintrade....im w/ you , i prefer a traditional kit.....

[skintrade]

whats with the drums? sounded like he was hitting a bag of rice crispies with a paintbrush

[kingcrimson234]

i know he only had a few days to practice here, but i think mastellotto is one of the most overrated drummers around. any good drummer could have come up with some interesting fills to throw in here and there even if he's never played the song before in his life.

the man was really lucky to work with king crimson, i'm still not sure how that ever happened. (and honestly, would anybody know who he is if he didn't?)

[ceazea]

Mastellotto should know Firth of Fith if he is a Prog Player????

[Topographer]

A famous Steve Hackett quote:

Who needs drugs when we've got tea.

[angusyoung98]

paul gilbert and hackett just can't be on the same stage, the're different guitarrists, very differents musicians in every fact.

but hackett as usual he made it great, he is one of the best guitarrists in the world

[BevelBob]

I'm with pelusidae. What's Hackett doing in 'Guitar Wars'? Yes he brought Emmett Chapman's tapping to rock guitar conciousness, but as a complete guitarist, Howe and Hackett could have a war (I'm sure the likes of Segovia, Williams and Pass had the technique and ability, but were too one dimensional to be 'complete') but SH is a nuclear bomb compared to axes, (pun intended) in that war.

[arvydas0069]

man I wish I could smoke pot

[damnedcarrot]

He sounds like Satch with a 1000 less notes

[aliaslechuga]

incredible guitar player and musician

[pelusidae]

My tack is that Hackett is more of an artist and composer, fid it strange that he participated in Guitar Wars which is more for circus acts... but anyway, good to see he enjoyed it and had fun, that's the most important part.

[3orchidsrising]

I read Steve Hackett in an interview, he seems to like to joke around.

[prog4evr]

It is part of his humble nature. But notice how he shreds over and above Paul Gilbert and Nuno Bettencourt on "Darktown" (another YouTube vid...)

[josiahgust]

Just watched it and I have to disagree. I'm not saying anything bad about Mr Hackett, just that he did not out shred them. He did nothing shredlike. Its not his style

[Satiaraha]

@josiahgust well actually he have one or two shredder light songs just like firewall from Tokyo tapes cd2 besides he have an excellent classical tecnique with a very personal tune wich is very diffrent from Steve Howe i think that GTR was a very waste they could do a lot of thing together but they did't want to

[N1095A]

He's certainly no Daryl Stuermer.

[gittarr]

Thank God

[snoozingphil]

The drummer really ruins this it makes it sound so flat

[ZEPPELIN198]

Pat Mastellotto is actually a really good drummer, just watch his performances with King Crimson

[davestix]

I agree, he's great, but apparantly he had a very hard time with one of Steve's songs (Mechanical Bride)

[genesisrock43]

I see your point there. I posted that comment about 2 days before buying Hacketts "Metamorpheus" album that has proved your point very nicely.

[saulocpp]

The sound is a bit thin, but great music anyway.

You guys mentioned 4 guitar giants, and though Hackett is more enjoyable, Howe is probably the most technically acomplished. Just read how many awards he received!

He can sound strange at times, too experimental.

Hackett uses to write pieces that people will definitely like, which is a safe path.

[chunter203908]

Hackett used to get crazy sustain from a les paul in his days with Genesis but on the Fernandes here he might as well not even use his pick

[celtno1]

was that nuno bettencourt from exreme sitting beside hackett? that guy can play a bit!

[xarlione]

Where is the basss ???????? A half of this song is the basssss !

[frododarg]

your probably thinking of the "thunder" that

banks created on the keyboards

alot of the great talent (sound) laid on

banks keybords

[69strathead]

great melody and note choice but aweful vibrato.

[rogerthehat]

trem on a les paul it should be a bigsby

?

Great guitarist still

[hesmon]

My God the Guitar wars CD version is a thousand times better. I thought this was the same but unfortunately it is not.

[entangled1]

Steves fantastic but i still love the jazz feel that daryll puts into it .

[funk7000]

Hackett's guitar work on this song is classic and spine chilling, but people overlook the importance of Rutherford's work on his bass pedals that really gives it that dynamic effect

[sandprof]

nobody tht has played axe with genesis (ie Rutherford or Strummer)can touch this - I think mike deliberately recruited an average drummer - so as not to up-stage him making the bass sing. The drumming is awful btw - needs Collins really

[tperr63]

i love genesis but the best guitar player is jimmy page

[SirAtkins]

Hackett and Gilmour are more enjoyable and technically better

[NoNo48Zoso]

You enjoy it more :P For me Jimmy is the God, Hackett and Gilmour just kings! Do you think Zeppelin isn't great technically??

[genesisrock43]

when we get into technical skil the award goes to Steve Howe because he is classically trained but Hackett and Gilmour are still more enjoyable as they get the feel and emotion into their playing.

[thankugoodnite]

piss off douchebag. Page is technically average and sloppy at times.

[tperr63]

page is the best

[NoNo48Zoso]

I agree with you!!

I really love genesis and other great bands, but Jimmy is my favourite :D

[ABittenfeld]

The drummer is a complete jerk.

[africa101]

This guy is the best guitar player of all time!!!

[tyjochay]

Thanks for posting!
