Anyone digs Synyster Gates?

Go check out Falling Into Infinity as well as the Liquid Tension Experiment albums BEFORE Petrucci became a robot.:twisted:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Petrucci never became a robot! He just became more proficient technically! That is not being robotic, in fact, I see it as a natural improvement over time!
 
hey guys...not dissing any of you or your guitar heroes,but this here's a SYNYSTER GATES APPRECIATION THREAD.SRV and those,John Petrucci?yeah they're great,but please stick to the topic.
 
Lol.. Cause you still haven't elaborate on why you like Synster.. This is our way of saying how we don't like Synster, but have other people we'd rather immerse ourselves in discussion about..

That's nice of you. Telling us to get back to topic without stepping on toes. I applaud your sensitivity to others. Sorry for the digression.:mrgreen:

But I hope you realise that the point of this is to show you there are more guitarists out there, and honestly, there's not that many of you who appreciate him. I for one would prefer listening to Mark Tremonti over Gates. For the simple fact that A7x seems to be appealing to a younger generation. I'm over my 30s, and a father of one. So I guess I prefer to listen to people who offer me something new and fresh. Unfortunately, Synyster Gates doesn't offer me anything I've not heard before. That's not to say he's not good at what he does. Hell, I even see the merits of Billie Joe Armstrong! Even Lost Prophets to me is a killer band.

Anyways, everyone has to begin somewhere down the road to guitar fanatiscm. Good luck on your journey!:twisted:

...and ONE for the road!

Erm,if you check my earlier posts,i said a whole lotta stuff about Syn's playing.Yeah.check em out.You want soulful playing?You've got Seize The Day solo and Gunslinger Solo.You want technical and Shredding?Afterlife and Scream for ya.I'm just saying that Syn's style and solos appeal to me more greatly than any other guitarist,that's why i like the guy.
 
heh, guess what i wrote earlier is slowly turning into reality, little by little, slow and steady

we are not that predictable, are we?

+1 to Pathein's post haha expecting that when i first saw the thread's title. Seems like not many softies like A7x haha.

Anyway i like syn's compositions and solos but yeah hes not like extremely clean live like the other guitar players like Petrucci and Paul Gilbert. Those guys are guitar heroes for a reason man...

Hes a good guitar player and I've got to admit, but its pretty hilarious to see him do the video on sweep picking for the guitar magazine on youtube.
 
imo synyster hasnt done much that other guitarists before him have done before. perhaps you can check out other guitarists that have already been mentioned if you havent.

tastes do change over time. i used to think atreyu's guitarists and a7x guitarists were the best. not anymore, since "best" can be subjective. by talking about other guitarists here is perhaps to give you suggestions to other guitarists/bands that you can check out to see if they do interest you or not. if they do, gratz, but if they dont, then perhaps you could share why not.

like "best" player with emotions and soul? to me there are so many: thomas blug, neil zaza, andy timmons, satch, vai, tony macalpine, SRV, hendrix, gary moore.

"best" technical player? petrucci, michael angelo, malmsteen, joe stump.

"best" in a band? again, petrucci, EVH, maiden's 3 guitarists, etc. maybe satch, but we have to see his new solo project chickenfoot xD

and my personal opinion: its hard (almost impossible) to talk all about only one single guitarist in a thread. lol.

anyway Flight of the Conchords and Paravonian are really DAMN FUNNY! especially love the friends theme song and sugar ray one.
 
one thing bout all the geetarers mentioned, they fit in the context of the music they are playing. Interchanged them, perhaps it wont be nice anymore and prolly no one would take note of them.

More than often, when we talk about geetarers, we tend to overlook the music they are making, in general.

To talk bout geetarers, perhaps we have to have a clear idea of the differences, similarities the style of music which the whole band is playing, then comes the role of the geetarers. And for the geetarers, the focus perhaps not about the skill, feel, techniques or how long is their instrument(bass or guitar or baritone, not any other organs/things), but how their playing, fit into the music, as a band.

Heh, geetarers must look beyond the idea of geetars only, if not, we be going round and round till our sons and daughters still talking bout geetar, geetars and more geetarsss. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hey there,not dissing you or anything,but i don't jump on any ol' shredder on MTV.I've watched John Petrucci,Steve Vai,Joe Satriani,Kirk Hammett,Richie Sambora,Jimmy Page,Dave Mustaine,Marty Friedman,Michael Paget,hell even JerryC,these are all great guitarists,timeless guitarists.

But none of them touched me like Synyster Gates did.Get whut i mean?
 
heh, even openly declaration for favourite_______(fill in blank with your choice of things, people or toys) also must think deep deep before shooting off. Break down into points if necessary and most importantly, having an open mind between different style of music and not just geetar, geetar and more geetarsss.

ever thought why would we like something so much but yet when being ask why we like, all that we can give, are all vague answers(feel, mood, emotions) that might not have any meaning to others who dont understand, trying to understand or simply too weak to convinced non believer why we like.

its the same as saying "i love you". Simple as piak, but whats the meaning behind other then "cos i like you", "coz you are nice", "coz we click", "coz you give good love" whatso ever

if theres something that we like, then better prepared before hand, the breakdown on why we like, how it affect us, how it influence our thinking, our behaviour, whats the pros, whats the cons as well.

Its really not, easy to say what we like, if we dont even know why we like and able to tell those who dont understand.

heh, anyway, the above was half serious and half talk kok, so read it with pinch of salt
