I saw that whole thing a while ago. It's very cool. I continue to be impressed by flamenco guitar players. As great as the other two legends are, I'm not sure I like their technical styles so much, especially ADM's. I like smooth players, not guys who jerk their guitars around and look to be physically struggling. I'm not criticizing him, as I've listened to the guy for good 20 years. Just that there are more technical players in metal/rock and I am no longer impressed by jazz musicians other than their theory knowledge and the overall smarts they possess. But I'd put a guy like Luca Turilli (Rhapsody and other projects) way ahead on skill and play, not to mention his deep Classical influence/style. There is no doubt in my mind that metal musicians have taken over on skill in the last 10 years.

good quality live show vids. italian band with one of the best singers in metal.

[Sarcastic]

Full album. It's a magical experience as you listen through the thing. Narrated by Christopher Lee. Deep Classical influence. Beautiful melodies and some of the finest guitar work ever recorded.

Interesting viewpoint.

While I appreciate watching the best guitarists, what I really want is the auditory experience. ADM is outstanding in that regard.

(My personal favorite is Derek Trucks, but I've always been a slide guitar fan.)

BtW Sarcastic, ADM lives in Bergen county so he's just up the road from you. I actually have a "friend of a close friend" who is a bass player on Long Island who's recently struck up a friendship with ADm and has been spending a lot of time in ADM's home studio jamming with him. I'm really jealous.

It's always the crazy kids with long hair who want to play faster and better than the next guy. Guitarists actually took over back in the 80's, as there are no better players technique wise than rock/metal shredders. Drummers equalled the best of jazz in the last 10 years, especially the guys in really heavy styles. And bassists have taken the step to catch up to some of the jazz cats in the last few years, I feel, doing complex sweeps and tapping (something most jazz bassists do not do), although bass is still different than the other instruments and my favorite guys continue to be in jazz. Jazz may always have an advantage in a way, since it is in large part about improvised playing and solos. Which is why its fun as hell if you really like to play your instrument.

Many, if not most, metal musicians listen to classical and jazz as it is and I find they are the most appreciative and inclusive of good music. Sometimes metal gets a bad rap, but it's from people who just don't know mainly because to this day there still isn't enough commercial exposure.

Anyway, cool for that guy, eh?

These are a some of my favorite bassists. The first vid and my favorite was removed on youtube but it's here. He uses a thumbpick and a flamenco style on bass. I'm sure you know him. But if you've never seen him play 'Little Rose', you must watch the youku vid.

Lots of stuff with him on youtube like this.


I love this guy. His technique is immaculate.


And of course Vic, whom everyone loves, and his pal Steve. :)

Some Nirvana for Kurt.

Doing the same tonight (listening to Nirvana). I've had the live show that I went to looping in the background.

Still surprised that the show was on youtube and that it was actually clear.

What show?

For a bootleg, it's not bad. Not sure what happened to Blew and the end jam, but it goes from a clear recording to an alternate recording that may have been recorded with a Fisher Price cassette recorder.

[FreeCandy44]

Radio Friendly is a solid opener. Good setlist also...
