It's not like MP was double bass crazy on SFAM anyway. He used it tastefully.
I've enjoyed some of his DT reactions, but the guy is kind of a douche.
Thank you.
I've watched a few of his videos now and really don't see what the fuss is about. I'm impressed with his ear, but I agree his manner and the way he comes across sometimes is a bit like he has a high opinion of himself or something, can't quite put my finger on it.
I always expect a bit more insight also to his thoughts on the music. Most of what I've seen is just him telling us the chord progressions and key changes. Well duh, I can figure that out. I don't know his exact background but more interested in his thoughts on the tunes and songwriting of these bands that are not familiar styles for him.
I mean, I watched one he did for Holy Wars and he ripped it to shreds. Didn't mention much about Marty as a guitarist and ripped the song for not having much variety musically. What the hell does he expect, it's classic thrash, you don't like it that's fine, but don't rip it because it has no key changes or anything technically amazing going on.
Also, something like the Jason Becker Altitudes video he did. He appreciated the song but then carried on how the song ended. Saying it shouldn't have resolved like that. Whatever dude, it's one of the most amazing masterclasses in guitar shred and he carries on about that. Has this guy done anything more worthwhile than the artists he's reacting to? I think now.
I don't know, ignore my rant, don't mean to derail the thread, but yeah, not a fan.
