I was thinking Diamanda Galás.
or Emilie Autumn perhaps.
Hmm, totally different than the other two, but probably also not what TAC would want, I suspect.
Yeah, I think I just have a prejudice, perhaps unfounded, of Guitar Hero style music. It's a "me" problem, and I'm all for having my mind changed. But I will say that I don't like Steve Vai's sound or shtick.
This seems like it might be a highly idiosyncratic bias of yours against just him in particular, possibly based on a potentially skewed sample of his music (though I have a feeling it might be certain types of songs he does, but I can't be sure), but the way you talk about it is so weird that I think I'm still gonna steer clear of that area in the roulette. I'm not at the point in my roulette career where I'm ready to regularly send challenging music to test the host's boundaries (Luke's round 9 is still killing me!), so maybe after the roulette is over I'll send you something that I might have considered sending that round. Or maybe based on what everyone else sends and your responses it'll start making more sense.
That Coldplay thing where he sued them was fucking bullshit. I can't believe he did that to be honest.
Yeah, I agree on that.
Don't over think it.
You must be new here.
If the piece feels like a giant guitar solo, then that's probably what TAC means by "Fancy schmancy guitar noodles". One of the reasons I like guys like Plini (not banned, maybe I'll use him for that round) is because most of the time his music doesn't feel that way. But with guys like Satch and Vai, more often than not, it does. Nothing wrong with it, but there is clear structural and compositional differences in their styles.
Yeah, but TAC likes a lot of music that you could describe as a giant guitar solo that happens to have some vocals in-between, so I think there's something else going on. Plini would have been a candidate for the round, but he's heavily influenced by Vai (possibly not in the sense that TAC dislikes, but I don't want to risk it). He's also influenced by jazz and djent (less so over time, but it's still there), so that could be risky, but that's your prerogative. There are certainly compositional differences, but it varies a lot song to song, and there are certainly Plini songs that I would describe as far noodlier than Satch or Vai ones, heck, that whole style is sometimes derided as "djazz noodling". I'm utterly fascinated now how that round is going to play out.
