    Playing Live - Things to Watch for

    Ed, what about the classic Zacky Vengeance tip, act like you are the absaloute man when playing rhythm, then seem depressed as hell when you need to sing back up! :) Or what about having a massive set of dud Marshalls to set on fire at the end of the show, a la Ritchie Blackmore?

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    There seems to be a lot of respect for Mayer on the forum, surprised. You would definitely be leaning towards Syn though, I assume?

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    Did Mark actually say that? Huh, surprised. The song is okay, decent solo, drums and bass, never been a fan of Myles voice, but the riffs really aren't there, kinda reminds me of Nickelback actually. Which is pretty funny because I know your opinion of them, hahaha, but I haven't listened to...

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    I don't doubt that Mark is a great guy, he seems it in interviews. But in terms of songs? Nope. Alter Bridge, musically aren't much different from Creed, and Creed wasn't all that impressive musically. The only difference is the singer. Stapp has a polarizing voice, so it's no wonder AB has...

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    I never meant decent in terms of ability, definitely not, there probably isn't anything on the guitar Tremonti couldn't do. He's a technical master. But in terms of songs? Nope, he's not got it. I can't think of an amazing Tremonti song. This kind of reminds me of the Blackmore vs Satriani...

    Can you take ME HIGHARRRR!

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    Is Ultimate Guitar UK based, I only ask because AB are a theatre act in the US, but are playing Arenas in the UK.

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    Which is surprising, you wouldn't expect the guitarist for Creed to be popular.

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    He's decent, but best of the decade, nope. I can give you a list of Power Metal lead players that destroy him. Absolute joke.
  10. Edward John

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    He's a decent guitarist, but best of the decade, nope. Heck, I'd give it to an elderly Tony Iommi before I gave it to him, based on his work on 13 alone.

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    Correct, Ultimate Guitar is a joke.

    Tremonti vs. Syn

    https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/alter-bridges-mark-tremonti-named-guitarist-of-the-decade/ Mark Tremonti just got voted as the guitarist of the decade for Guitar World magazine, my obvious response was nope. Nothing against Tremonti, great guitarist, but compared to some of the others, nope...

    Syn is this true???

    With Vince Neil opening!

    Syn is this true???

    Yep, Goerge Lynch is great, but Don's voice, while being good, is similar to other singers of the era. How about a Dokken/'Back headline tour?

    Dime plays guitar!

    Have you checked out Dokken yet?

    Me and Calvin turned the Paul McCartney thread into a Motley discussion!

    Yes, this is the Church of the 'Back! :)
