Shredi Knights unite!
Storm Rider:
Petrucci does plenty of melody. When he does decide to shred though, he is damn good at it.
And although I know you did not say this, and I am not accusing you of doing so, anybody who says Satch can't express emotion is dead wrong. Satriani has some of the most emotionally charged music I've ever heard.
Kai:
This entire thread without mentioning Buckethead? for shame.
Actually, Satch is my personal favorite of the more well known shredding peoples. He doesn't go too far out and show offy (VAI), and what he does sounds more like music than playing up the fretboard 23 times in a minute (YNGVIeWIE MALMSTEEM. I hate his name). Eric Johnson is great. I haven't seen Fripp play but what he does is good stuff. Petrucci is simply mindblowing.
Bucky; that little rant (that you swiped from yourself from another forum too) is a pretty good look into it. I'm really into the whole drama thing (although I'm generally a techie first) and that generally is how it goes, with a few exceptions.

--- Quote from: DynamiteKid ---Look, I had to go quickly so I couldn't put this across. I wasn't trying to imply that shred is passionless. I think that, if done right, shred can be pure passionate music, like Satriani. I just find that - and I hate to say this, Petrucci comes to mind - a lot of shredders seem to mind any melody in their solos an optional extra and it just doesn't SOUND like passion. Most Dream Theater I hear - note MOST - seems to be Petrucci just shredding because he can.

Well duh. I was talking about Petrucci's solo efforts. Saying that listening to Dream Theatre is boring is like saying that apartheid in South Africa was slightly demeaning to blacks. ;)

Why, thank you. Wait...you're primarily a techie? Well, I guess this means I shouldn't start telling my "theatre tech" jokes. ;)
...
What do you say when you're doing lighting and a tech tells you that he could use a wash?
"You certainly could."
Ba-dum TSHH.
Kai:
No, go ahead, because whether or not you think actors or techies are better, we can both agree on one thing: we're both better than musical corus members/dancers. Seriously, fuck them.
"An actor without techies is a person standing naked in the dark. A techie without actors is a person with marketable skills."
And I've totally gone onto a different subject. Whatever happened to our little theatre thread that disappeared?
Anyways, shredding. Some of Buckethead's solo stuff is simply mindblowing. I mean, You cannot tell me that Electric Tears isn't a beautiful album.
La Creme:
The moral is, Dream Theater should become Liquid Tension Experiment again full time.
