June 10, 20197 yr comment_806867 The best rock debut album ever? Is it blasphemy to say I prefer the US track listing to the UK original? Report
June 11, 20197 yr comment_806877 I love these dirty, sputtering guitar tones. Bluesy hard rock. No, it's a little bit harder than hard rock, but it's not metal. Harderrock? Report

June 13, 20197 yr comment_806955 Well, Dream Theater seems to me more focused on their instrumental skills than on the music itself. I feel the same when I listen to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani... I hope no one takes this badly but IMO they are great "instrumentalists" (I'm not sure if this word exists in English) but they seem very "poor" musicians. Report

It is a trap for sure, but simplifying it this way can be a slippery slope also. For example, saying Paganini or Art Tatem are bad musicians because they go for technical difficulty and speed would seem odd. But they are exactly the same. The list would clearly go on. Buckethead offers both, super crazy riffing and whole albums with soulful rhythms and melodies without a single speed riff. Anyway, I think I agree with your general point, but I do think all of the above are great musicians. I think Yngwei Malmsteen sucks and would be a shining example of your point, however.
