    If you don't like Mike Portnoy's drumming, that's fine and your prerogative, but if you don't like this guy's passion for music, it defies logic. He absolutely loves all genres and brands of music and that is to be admired. I happen to love his drumming and passion.

    I agree with Portnoy about the guitar community especially the shred community. Guitarists are always ragging on other guitarist which is bullshit. I always try to encourage younger or less experienced players and when I get a chance to play with someone better or different than me I hope I get the same courtesy and am able to pick their brain about shit. No one is ever the best, I have been playing for 20 years now many of those years spent practicing for hours and hours a day and I still have moments where I feel like I'm terrible because someone blows my mind with their playing. After practicing Neoclassical type stuff and instrumental rock for years I started trying to learn Donna Lee by Charlie Parker and I realized fucking hell all this phrasing is totally different and difficult to get down. My mind was then opened to another way to express yourself on the instrument. Country players also opened my mind to this whole other world of shred. Unfortunately guitarists are always standing with their arms crossed thinking "he didn't play that clean, those sweeps are sloppy, that guy sucks", as if we all just started playing with the ability to execute perfectly. I still play sloppy at times and I play constantly. It should be a brotherhood of people who love music and love the instrument. I love many instruments but guitar is the one I have dedicated myself to and it has become an extension of who I am, like an appendage. I am connected to anyone who feels the same, in fact I feel connected to anyone who loves art and music the way I do. I think there is an element of jealousy involved when someone successful in music and who is thought of as great plays sloppily which seasoned players can recognize more readily than greener players. The impulse is to say "I can play cleaner and better than them, I should be as well known as them, they suck". I understand the impulse but it should be avoided. One thing I always say to people who want to play especially if they feel like playing at a high level of skill is unobtainable is you don't have to be great at guitar to be a great musician. This is a fact that eludes many in the guitar community. Like em or not guys like Chris Cornell are great guitar players. I can play circles around Cornell but Cornell can take the instrument and write something utterly beautiful with it. I'd like to think I can as well but Cornell has wrote stuff that I find exceptional and can only hope that I can come close to doing the same but will almost always fall short. He 's an amazing musician, far better than I even though he doesn't possess the chops that I do. Even Kurt Cobain with a rudimentary ability on the instrument was able to write this amazing music and express himself as effectively as any virtuoso. My advice is always simple, if you want to learn to play you must first identify what you want to get out of it. If you want to be a songwriter the rules are different than if you want to be a virtuoso. Neither one is better than the other, your technical ability does not make you a better musician by default, it might make you a better player but not a better musician. Like I said you don't have to be a great guitar player to be a great musician, guitar is simply a tool to express yourself creatively. The guitar community sometimes puts too much emphasis on the mastering of the instrument which has its merits but ultimately its about music not an exercise in ability. The drum community seems to have more solidarity and camaraderie than the guitar community. I think the guitar snobbing started with EVH and all the terrible hair metal dudes in the 80's. They are a good example of great guitar players making shitty uninspired music. Most of the 80's glamers played much better than the guys who usurped them in the 90's. The 90's guys had the most important factor on their side, inspired creativity and awesome rock songwriting. I'm a big fan of 80's players who were in the underground alternative scene, the underground metal scenes, and of course the shredders who made instrumental records. The hair guys were fucking awful. They may have had talent but they used it in a formulaic rehash uninspired style of God awful rock and roll.

      @callumforsyth9186 9 лет назад +1

      erm Im not sure, I think just because mangini is far technically superior doesnt mean it doesnt come from his heart or he doesnt groove. If that were the case the two dream theater albums would have ridiculous drum parts on all over it - even though theyre complicated parts theyre not so in your face (you can tell as many think the parts SOUND less technical than alot of Portnoys drumming)

    • @anirudhviswanathan3986
      @anirudhviswanathan3986 7 лет назад

      IMO Its more of a case of Mangini playing it safe than being heartless. He hasnt written any song as of yet so i guess thats why people see it like that. JP also needs people other than Rudess to share musical ideas, get Myung and LaBrie to write songs again. Also, JP needs to go back to standard tuning, his guitar tone is just so muddled in djenty style riffs that imo, it is one of the worst things on Astonishing.

    Absolutely Mike. He puts so much thought and heart into his music and thats why these technical dime a dozen types get so old. If you cant write, and groove, you will never be a group musician but a soloist. A now getting old example is look at Mangini, super technical and trained but extremely lacking feel and heart into the music and its kinda boring to watch nothing but stick tricks and rudiment fills when the music is so neglected.

    • @anirudhviswanathan3986
      @anirudhviswanathan3986 7 лет назад

      Same applies to Jordan Rudess, who feels the need to compete with JP in most of the songs post 6DOIT in shred wars(even in parts of Metropolis part 2). Just listen to Kevin Moore or even Derek Sherinian when they did the keys, such atmospheres that Jordan can do, but gets lost in doing shred wars and wanking solos. Competing should be left for live concerts where it IS epic, but in general listening it just makes the listener want the song to get over quickly.
      Which is why i am of the controversial opinion that Metropolis part 2 is not that good a concept album, even if it is a great MUSIC album. A concept album should draw u in with every single minute with its story/concept with every single song flowing with the story, not make u forget that there is a concept in the 1st place with needless instrumentals. Dance of Eternity would be a fantastic instrumental on any other album, EXCEPT Metropolis part 2, where u feel that the story has suddenly come to a grinding halt before it is even over. Fatal Tragedy was also guilty of this post the 3:50 mark. Like, they suddenly forget that there is a story they r telling and want to play as much as they can without tiring out.
