Well, I do understand, Per, which is why I feel I can poke fun at the whole
genre and approach (what I'm doing) - I lived and breathed the life of a
shreader at
one point in time. It's not about understanding, rather my right and
ability
to have an opinion on the approach 20 year later. It's all music. I'm just
stying I thought Malmsteen's attitude sucked in the interview and he came
across as pompous, and that having played like that, I can say it is a lot
harder to do with
a clean sound. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that I don't understand
the
music
just because I don't like Malmsteen's attitude, or that I don't place the
same value
that I did 20 years ago on playing fast runs and scales with high gain.
That is
my own prerogative and personal expression.
Sorry to bash your Swedish friend. Perhaps I should have picked on Gilbert
or Macalpine. :)
