He's a real musician. Has Batio...I love Buckethead. He's a real musician. Has Batio ever collaborated with Bill Laswell? No, Laswell couldn't fuckin care less. Does Batio hang with Bootsy Collins? No, he's first cousin to Sir Nose DeVoid of Funk. Has he recorded over 60 albums since 1993? No, he made some cheezy instructional videos, and appeared at some even cheezier guitar clinics. I can listen to Buckethead without even one tiny scintilla of irony. And I do. That said, Batio's wrist-breaking top-bottom neck-flipping fretboard gymnastics at the orgiastic climax were so outgoddamnrageous, I gotta hand my vote to him.<BR/><BR/>And I don't hate Yngwie, I just think he's got his head so far up his ass he's stifling himself. I like that Alcatrazz album he played on, even though singer Graham Bonnet sucks balls. 'Rising Force' and 'Marching Out' are awesome, for what they are. "I Am a Viking", you can't deny that. Come on. Unfortunately, the Swedish Meatball hasn't made a listenable record since.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you should totally check out some Shawn Lane vids. He used to play with Jonas Hellborg. Dude had some mad chops.Stevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11342128832508476425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-6930027797504413322009-01-27T01:48:00.000-08:002009-01-27T01:48:00.000-08:00Tough call but I think its gotta be Batio.Tough call but I think its gotta be Batio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6645554669355760340.post-62087684365048953062009-01-26T15:45:00.000-08:002009-01-26T15:45:00.000-08:00Hard, but Buckethead.Hard, but Buckethead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
