Can't write a good riff?!?!

Say what you will about Angela Gossow, but Michael Amott is amazing.
the riffs for arch enemy are pretty mediocre. in fact, i've only ever heard one enjoyable AE song, and it was an instrumental guitar solo. the guy can obviously play, i just am not moved by what he produces.

it's like van halen - eruption is very good, very technically challenging to play. however, i find eddie van halen to be the most boring, unmoving guitarist i've ever heard. he plays with no emotion at all.


I would respond to your accusation with just two words: Yngwie Malmsteen
i've never really listened to much yngwie, idk why, but my response to van halen is usually randy rhodes. they were playing at similar times, and both were excellent technical guitarists, both used fingertapping and other cool techniques, but randy always put feeling into it, whereas eddie van halen has always sounded like he's just practicing.


When I said Malmsteen, I was reffering to the part about being technically challenging but totally emotionless. Of course Randy is totally awesome, but that's not what I was talking about :S

Ehhhh, Malmsteen has at least some degree of emotion in some of his songs... Michael Angelo Batio, on the other hand... Sterile as a medical clinic. confused
as i said about yngwie the first time - i havent listened enough, i cant really judge. i do have to agree with gnarl about batio though. satch and vai are the same way.

Yeah... And Joe Satriani will always be more win than any of the aforementioned virtuoso players. 3nodding

Alright, one more cover. I like the original by Ozzy better, nevertheless...
