Tournament of Maiden Solos: the Top 10 video!

[MrKnickerbocker]

Sorry Benjamin, but Alex is surely superior.

 

[Srogyy]

Brutal. I love Breeg so much, but it can't win against AtG.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Fuck this shit! My day was going so well too. I just fixed the toilet, took some stuff to the dump, and did a bit of hoovering. I really felt like today had been a big success. And then, BOOM! Why? Just why, Foro?

This is plodding stuck-together technical-exercise vs. emotional beautiful soulful wailing awesomeness.

What tugs your heartstrings, forum? What has feeling and climactic lovelessness? Your vote has to go with Breeg. Do the right thing! Don't fret over AtG & H, they'll be fine without your vote; they're both still awesome. But Breeg is more awesome. You must vote for it...

Plus, if you don't you're an ass. A total ass. Knicks, Srogyy, you're both already asses.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

And whoever the other two fuckers are who voted for AtG, you're both asses too. And fuckers. Total fuckers.

 

[Night Prowler]

I'm too lazy to check, is this H vs Dave again?

 

[JudasMyGuide]

Breeg. I don't want to be an ass. I'm a dick.

ATG's solo is a study in multiple phrasing attacks centered around a pretty tricky rhythm. It manages to be experimental and interesting while still delivering catchy licks.

Sorry, but I don't hear the "climactic lovelessness" you mention in the Breeg solo. If anything it sounds too upbeat, too many typical legato tricks to have the tugging-on-the-heartstrings moment you're talking about. It is a very good Dave solo, but it sounds like a typical Dave solo.

I just fixed the toilet, took some stuff to the dump

I read that completely wrong.

 

[Edu_Smith]

Adrian the Great of course

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

Sorry, but I don't hear the "cinematic lovelessness" you mention in the Breeg solo.

Neither do I. Who are you quoting btw?

I read that completely wrong.

Word association, just like fret...

I don't really rate phasing as an effect & don't find your "petty rhythm" argument a compelling reason to vote for AtG in this instance.

I'd say that rhythm is anything but trivial, but it might be minor.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

I thought it was in Major... but I'm know magician.

 

[mirtilo]

Alexander. The. Motherfu*ker.

 

[CriedWhenBrucieLeft]

You're an ass.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Instead of banning voters we should just let Cried taunt them into oblivion.

 

[Pand]

Alex

I didn't taunt you, I just repeatedly misquoted you. Big difference.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Look, if anyone is "miscalculating" here, it's you.

 

[mirtilo]

You're an ass.
