BEST BAND EVER: Results!

[JudasMyGuide]

The Core album.

This song is the soundtrack to GTA San Andreas, therefore also to my finishing of the high school. It's a really weird throwback (like Lopez' Waiting for Tonight or Minogue's Spinning Around, maybe?)

 

[karljant]

This makes no sense. You're too smart for this.

Is he?

Anyhow... Miles and Pat are good singers but Chris and especially Layne were top of their game.

 

[jazz from hell]

Scott Weiland with Velvet Revolver, great song:

 

[LooseCannon]

But with this band becoming, like, a weird variation on Rush it's a moot point anyway. US college hipsters unite!

Rush has three of the greatest instrumentalists in the history of heavy music, if not the three greatest instrumentalists.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Rush has three of the greatest instrumentalists in the history of heavy music, if not the three greatest instrumentalists.

I’d say two. Alex Lifeson is great and perfect for Rush and incredibly inventive, but he does not stack up to the likes of Petrucci or others in his weight class.

We differ.

 

[Black Wizard]

I feel like that was more anti-Canadian hate rhetoric.

 

[Diesel 11]

I’d definitely take Lifeson over Petrucci.

Lifeson is underrated but Petrucci is from another level (Satriani and DiMeola)

This is true. Let me give you a visual demonstration of the level:

Lifeson














Satriani Petrucci DiMeola

 

[Midnight]

This is true. Let me give you a visual demonstration of the level:

Lifeson














Satriani Petrucci DiMeola

Is this about technical ability, composition, or both?

 

[LooseCannon]

Let me respond to your question by flying the flag harder.

 

[JudasMyGuide]

This is true. Let me give you a visual demonstration of the level:

Lifeson

Satriani Petrucci DiMeola

Yeah, that's pretty much your typical rabid Rush fan.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

I mean, we can basically just shut down this entire game then, right?

Our band is just Freddie Mercury + Rush (with Geddy taping his mouth shut)

 

[LooseCannon]

Yeah, that's pretty much your typical rabid Rush fan.

I like how I specifically said heavy music and people are comparing to a jazz fusion artist, who, while worldbeating in his old genre, is absolutely not known for heavy music.

I've been saying this for years.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Personally, I'd be much more interested in the output of Neil Peart, Geddy Lee, Joe Satriani, and Dio...

Spoiler

...who would make one perfect album before disbanding under the sheer weight of differences in brilliant songwriting strategies.

 

[MindRuler]

I'm sorry for the misunderstanding there. I know DiMeola's stuff isn't that heavy. I just wanted to make a point in the use of technique. It's not that I'm not A Lifeson fan (avatar says enough)

 

[KidInTheDark666]

I don't get the hype about Lifeson.

 

[Mosh]

He’s no Jerry Horton but has a good riff once in awhile I guess.
