Ah, okay, now I understand what you meant!! I read that you play, which guitar do you use? Please don't tell me a Music Man John Petrucci!!

Panzer, but for you he's a genius too, Angelo... really too much for my tastes!!

I'm sorry, Miki Page, but I don't agree with you either regarding the considerations about Queen or those about Led Zeppelin. Freddie Mercury had a greater importance in Queen, clearly surpassing all the members of the group, including May, even though the latter certainly contributed uniquely to the band's sound. If anyone else had died in Mercury's place, Queen would still have made incredible music, perhaps with some changes, but always of the highest quality, and the guide into this new era would have been Freddie himself, who, through his masterful personality, would have shifted the leadership of the band even more onto himself. Regarding Led Zeppelin, I disagree that Page was the leader; or rather, Page was one of the leaders, because in terms of personality and talent, they were all on stellar levels: Plant, Page, Bonham, and even J.P. Jones, who, although more reserved as a person, profoundly influenced the musical lines of the group. Moreover, considering that Led Zeppelin disbanded with Bonham's death, you can easily understand how all, and I emphasize all, were essential and irreplaceable. In Queen, absolutely not; the band's dynamics have always been different, and certainly, neither Deacon nor Taylor ever showed a very strong personality that would position them as leaders or irreplaceable, despite being excellent musicians and contributing to Queen's success. Your perspective is mistaken: not all groups have the same dynamics regarding leadership, and not all musicians always hold the same significance; the case of Queen and Zeppelin serves as a clear example.

I'm sorry, but I didn't like this review. You focused exclusively on a ritual, the destruction of the guitar, which certainly made Hendrix famous, but this is a live performance with great musical content. There isn’t a single mention of Jimi’s music, its historical importance, or what he left behind for future generations. If I didn't know his music and read this review, I would get the impression that Hendrix was just a "schizophrenic rapist" of electric guitars. He may have been that too, to be clear, but he was much more than that. It would be tragic if he were remembered only for his excesses. I believe people understood and loved him unconditionally in his genius and recklessness, and the 4 million records sold on average every year are living proof of that!

Great work by Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody is certainly one of the greatest songs of all time. It's true that saying it's the greatest might be a bit reckless; for example, a Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin is not inferior, indeed, let's say they are different songs in their musical content but qualitatively excellent! I'm also very attached to You're My Best Friend, a well-written review, on an album that is rightly a classic in the genre.

a great guitarist undoubtedly and of high historical importance, but nowadays I find him a bit trapped in his patterns; certainly, the class is still there, but he convinces less overall. I think his last great guitar work is The Division Bell, still with the glorious Pink Floyd.

no comment

I don't know him, but it seems strange that a guitarist could simultaneously resemble Vai, Petrucci, and Satriani, also because they are very different from each other in terms of style and techniques used. Anyway, the fact that he can already compose some decent pieces, even if emulating the big names, is something!

Well, if we compare Ritchie Blackmore to the guitarist of Simply Minds or Ramazzotti (just to make an example), there's really no debate; it's obvious! However, the genres are so different that I find even the mere nominal comparison quite daring!
