Haha I dunno if GamerGeek is tryin 2 insult me or systech, as both times he's quoted then insulted lol! Look guys I blatently have my own opinion on this and I've given in repeatedly, I even resolved the whole thing with innacces14's help a couple posts back. I'm not gona concede and eat my words completely, because to me Santana will never be as good as Slash or Padge or any of my favourites, so if u wanna bite then I'm gona bite back, but dont do the whole 'I'm better coz I know people you aint heard of' routine, coz I know how it ends.
Who th fuck are Steve Lukather JacoPastorius anyway??
I somehow doubt you were defending me, but yeh I reckon I probably could do anythin Santy's put out, its nothin 2 complicated, he goes for awesome soundin stuff as oppose to technical or skillful prowess, he's not a GUITAR hero, just a good player relative to what is required by himself and his fans.
Yeah thats pretty sweet, and I think if th new direction theyre taking is for a more band orientated music experience, then Santana is definately a sweet choice for that role, his solos still suck ass but like you say, its just for fun and nothing else, he's not trying to impress anybody, its about that style of music, and sonically it sounds awesome.
I think looking at it that way he seems a much better choice, its only when I put him against the choices of the past, ie Morello, Slash, Zakk Wylde etc that I get critical of his inclusion, but he really shines with his band, so full steam ahead for that way of thinking.
@innacces14: Very well said, and thanks 4 that, I never really looked @ it that way, but why even attempt the 10 minute solos if he himself is aware that he cant keep it interesting throughout?
The band perspective is a great way of showing what 'Guitar Hero' has become, as the people they are choosing to front the games arent even 'guitar heroes' anymore, the franchise should continue with the subtitle of 'World Tour 2' or whatever, because these are barely 'guitar' hero games anymore
" @Elazul: I was talkin more about the scratching and use of the amp in manipulating the distortion to get different sounds aswell as th underarm playing seen in th video for Your Time Has Come "
Yeah, that stuff's pretty rad, but you have to agree that it's not exactly conventional guitar proficiency. I think we both have a slightly different definition of "technically skilled". Let's just say that he's an very unusually talented guitarist, and leave it at that. "

@Roger_Klotz: Bullshit, Disturbed have topped th Billboard 200 three times in a row, they evolve with every new album, Dan Donegan is a much better guitarist than Santana, 43 years just adds further weight to th argument that Santy aint changed whatsoever, that he's been peddling th same shite for all those years and now its in GH!
Besides, my homepage wallpaper has no connection to my ability to distinguish awesome music from not, plus if u wanna b all anal about music taste, my favourite band is Poets Of The Fall, who are from Finland, and are some of the best musicians on th earth right now.
Plus dude, we both hav Monsieur Trujillo in our pictures, why th hell are you tryin 2 start somethin with a fellow Tallica fan?
