xilddx Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Pretty f***ing stunned by this. Kid seems to have immense compositional ability, and harmony and cadence are in his bloods it seems. Not to mention monstrous chops. I'm sick of this kind of music but once in a while, something rams itself up may arse and won't let go. And is that Dave Marks on bass?

(not enough coffee) [/quote] Harsh maybe, but you have to say what you feel. In my opinion, someone with compositional skills at that level will probably need to be writing and trade fairs are not going to satisfy that. What I see from the trade fair clinic hounds is more technical ability and little in the way of interesting music. Anyway, the geezer is fabulous, and although there are obvious Yngwie influences there but the tonality of his composition is very different from Yngwie. But who knows, he might be a pain in the arse to work with and never keep a band together. Quote

steve-bbb Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) im sure i would have enjoyed it more if the drummer hadnt been dragging it like a doom dirge and the bass moved off the low B just once in a while to provide a hint of dynamic lift to the melody at appropriate points compositionally some nice stuff in there but he said it all in 1:30 so the remaining 3:00 were just more of the same without actually going anywhere imho ymmv mcton etc etc just my 2p worth you understand Edited October 3, 2014 by steve-bbb Quote

[/quote] But he's done a lot of other things too and released two albums on Steve Vai's label [url="http://www.officialdanielegottardo.com/bio"]http://www.officiald...ottardo.com/bio[/url] If you want to make a living as a musician you have to do almost everything offered, there's no money in albums really. Shame he doesn't gig more but to be honest, most people aren't interested in that sort of composition are they, they want shred over a blues progression. Edited October 3, 2014 by xilddx Quote
