Hey guys I am the only one thinking he looks like Nikki Sixx?

[asherasator]

This is a very awesome instrumental, one of the best from I've seen. Joe is very dedicated & inspirational guitar player. Even Yngwie would like this song & the riffs.

where im from "chasing the dragon" means smoking heroin. and im sure its know to others as that too. lol

@WildBillJP

For a guy who doesn't like Joe, you sure are making a lot of traffic here. Get a life, play your music, copied or original, and-rock n roll!

[WildBillJP]

@skingaz We may be on the same side lol

[WildBillJP]

@skingaz No. Just that this specific "neo-classical style" is not a style at all. It's specific to one person, the person who originated it, Yngwie. He is the phrygian and harmonic minor master. Yngwie's music is both unbelievably original and extremely inspired. Both Stump and Impelitteri basically just imitate what he has done, which is why they are both watered down versions of him. Romeo, however, may be INFLUENCED by Yngwie, but def drew from other inspirations and music as well

[skingaz]

@WildBillJP Horribly wrong how exactly? Are you going to continue the trend (which seems so popular these days) of bashing Yngwie? Or are you saying that I've got it wrong when I say that a lot of Joe's pieces contain large chunks of Yngwie's stuff? Because THAT is demonstrable the case.

[WildBillJP]

@jfutach BTW, send me a video of Stump playing and show me a specific part where he plays faster and more technical than Yngwie, I dare you...

[WildBillJP]

@jfutach No offense, but your preference of Joe Stump over Yngwie would be like preferring an Elvis impersonator over Elvis himself. If someone sang, danced, and DRESSED exactly like Michael Jackson, would you say that he is just the same style of musician? I highly doubt it for your sake.

[WildBillJP]

@skingaz I don't mean to be rude, but you are horribly wrong.

[WildBillJP]

@OfAeon BTW, you could say then that Michael Jackson did not invent a genre either, but like Yngwie, he is unbelievably original and a total innovator in his field. Anyone who just happens to have the "same style" as either of them, is obviously just a lame imitation. For some reason, many people can not distinguish the difference in skill that it takes to copy someone, than it does to actually come up with the all the stuff on your own.
