I mean he REALLY does, theres no innovation whatsoever in the 30 years he's been playing, his 10 minute solos consist of literally 3 or 4 notes over and over again, theres only so many times he can bend his e string (or orange button :p) before it just sounds repetitive as hell!
Guitar Hero 5
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Sep 01, 2009
The fifth game in the core Guitar Hero franchise, and the third in the series from Activision and Neversoft. Though the game goes by the Guitar Hero moniker, it features full-band gameplay like its predecessor, Guitar Hero World Tour.
But.....Santana sucks....
U wanna know who's good? Joe Satriani, Tom Morello, Kirk Hammett, Yngwie Malmsteen, Olli Tukiainen, Padge, Slash, Corey Beaulieu....pretty much anyone who can play more than what the average primary school kid can play.
Joe Satriani - Decent
I have to agree, kinda. Old Santana is OK, just OK. Anything from his Rob Thomas era stuff is garbage though.
Dude, you've crossed the line. No more talking. Santana is the man. I cannot wait for this game. I think I'm more excited for this than Guitar Hero: Van Halen. I think it's pretty much guaranteed I'll be buying this one shortly after its release. Bring on the "Oye Como Va". Oh yeah.
" Joe Satriani - DecentBuckethead - GOD. hehe I know tons of people would disagree though ; )Tom Morello - Amazing, one of the greatest of all time.Kirk Hammett - No.Yngwie Malmsteen - Give me a break, he can play fast. Terrible.Ollie Tukiainen - DecentPadge - DecentSlash - Good, but massively over-ratedCorey Beaulieu - OK."
But I do agree on all of your points, Kirk = same shit over and over, Yngwie is good but can get sloppy and only plays fast, plus is cocky as hell.
" @Drebin_893: Yngwie can play very fast, and that USED 2 b what GH was about, a good challenge for the devotees aswell as awesome songs we all know and love. But now we have Coldplay getting involved and 1 of the most technically unimpressive guitarists ever aswell. I'm not disagreeing that its gonna b fun 2 see what his solo tune is, but when theres so many other guitarists they could have put in this game, its insane.And unless you're goin for the 'hate Metallica coz I think its cool' thing, why is Hammett a no? Can YOU play half the stuff he has produced? I think not"
Yeah, I totally get what you mean.
" Joe Satriani - DecentI agree with your general sentiment, but come on man, Tom Morello is not a very good guitarist.Tom Morello - Amazing, one of the greatest of all time.Kirk Hammett - No.Yngwie Malmsteen - Give me a break, he can play fast. Terrible.Ollie Tukiainen - DecentPadge - DecentSlash - Good, but massively over-ratedCorey Beaulieu - OK."
What about Page? What about Hendrix? What about Gilmour? What about Clapton?
" Well, please inform us of who doesn't suck so we can be as rad as you obviously are. "
And you know what, has anyone EVER heard of Frank Zappa?
He is really one of the most talented guitarists of all time.
He never gets any credit though.

"Thankyou!!As for th guy saying the people I listed are 'terrible guitarists', read my lips, 'FUCK YOU', if you are seriously saying that Santana is up there with Page and Hendrix, then you need your head examined, as you might actually be mentally ill."

" ... I agree.Agreed. *holds on to guys leg why he's running**runs away really fast*"
Well Hendrix has already been in a GH game b4, so theres not a whole lotta point putting him in again, as 4 Page I would rather they did a full on tribute to Zeppelin in their own game as oppose to just a guitar battle, I think th GH franchise is more suited to the guitarists I mentioned, instead of just saying 'Hendrix FTW!' over and over again.

I respect Santana's style. He is not really a technical guitarist, but I like his guitar playing very much anyways.
Speaking of guitarists, a few of my favorites include:
Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Buck Dharma, Kim Thayil, Jerry Cantrell, Jimi Hendrix, AJ Minette, Randy Rhoads, John Petrucci, Mikael Akerfeldt, Buckethead, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai.

FUCKIN POUNDIN
everyone nose that Ozzy Osborn from Led Zepplin is a better guitarist than Santana, i mean hes a bald and wears those stupid sunglasses all the time

Oh and for the record Santana was formed in 66, making it 43 years, not 30, not that anyone gives a shit
" @MementoMori said:Noooooooo no if you were gona make an argument AGAINST Morello, do NOT talk about his technicality, he is head and shoulders above any other player on the planet when it comes to creating a unique sound and playing style, if you dont think Morello is a good 'technical guitarist' then you're just plain wrong....sorry" @Elazul said:I like his riffs just fine, I'm just saying that technically he's not the most talented guitarist in the world.
