Who's the Better guitarist?

Listening to Public Image LTD's 'Album' Album.

It years since I heard it & listening to Lydon singing in songs that have Steve Vai guitar solos just sounRAB really really odd.
 
Vai just appeals to me more, his technique is well rounded, whereas Satch is more skilled in the legato and tapping department, I don't think he can take him anywhere else, as for overall music I'd probably go with Vai there too as his music is really really weird and amusing, then the songs where he tries to be serious he blows you away, but come on having Yngwie Malmsteen beside these two is a disgrace, yeah sure he played with them in G3 once, but he certainly has not reached the quality of music they have, to me Malmsteen is all about neoclassical shredding in the Phrygian and using arpeggios with economy picking, sure he's fast but at the end of the day nobody will dig it unless it has soul - Andy
 
Vai is difinitely the most well rounded, creative and original axe man. And the most skilled, he's capable of different styles. Malmsteen however is all Neo Classical Shred.
 
nick drake? there is a difference between songwriting skill and being good at an instrument dude.


i personally prefer steve vai. ive just found it to be a case where the student has surpassed the teacher.
 
Don't be so daft. Drake operated at a completely different end of the spectrum. This is a metal forum so people are looking for solo's, sound, reverb, echo, noise etc NOT PICKING.
