Can we make a rule where if you only post the link to YouTube you have to also indicate what song and what show for those who are reading at work and YouTube is blocked (or for those who don't want to have to watch it or go to the YouTube website)? I would like this rule.
I think Jesus Christ is the Mike McCready of saviors.

Also, you might not find as much "trolling" if people on this board stop saying Mike is the "Jesus Christ" of guitar playing, or the "Jimi Hendrix of this century", or that Mike is better than Hendrix, Page, Van Halen, SRV, etc....

McCready's lengthy live noodling really annoys me.
I LOVE his contributions to the records, because they're considered and are nearly always as perfect a fit to the song as you could write. So then, when he strays from them to mindlessly, and often in my opinion uncomfortably fret wank his guitar for 20 minutes I can't wait for the vocals to kick back in.
I reckon some of the recorded solos are so amazing that playing anything different live is fucking mental,...Even Flow, Why Go, Immortality and Yellow Ledbetter spring to mind. Those solos are outstanding and the things he does live instead of them confuse me no end,...the live tone of Yellow Ledbetter is horrible and jarring compared to the recording also.
Stone however,...is ALWAYS bang on the money live.
If he played the same songs with the same notes, it would get real boring, real quick. Mr. McCready bleeds his emotions out through his fingers. He is not some dancing monkey that exists for your amusement.
Its like complaining that Jesus turned your water into a midget instead of wine.
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Truth be told i don't think he's as capable of improvisation as most people here do...and don't understand why he insists on trying.
im still praying for you..

Why would it get boring? Does it get boring when Vedder sticks note perfect and verbatim to the melodies he's written?
And as for people resting thier case on the Of the Earth performance,...if that song does make it to the next record i dearly hope that they reconsider everything past about 2minutes where it takes the most uncomfortable and ill fitting tangeant just to let McCready indulge himself.
Showing me videos of half way decent McCready improvs does not change the fact that it doesn't always serve the song to cavalierly noodle whatever comes to you,...in fact it's often to its detriment.
i respect your opinion,,but for proove what u believe u just say random things about a great guitarist player..come on....the guy is just fuckin great..his tune and the way he plays is brilliant..

Nothing about my posts in this thread have been random. I have cited specific solos, the live performances of which I take issue with. I have explained that I feel the songs could be better served if he was a little more disciplined. I have also expressed a love for his creativity when he stops and thinks about what he's doing.
I'm not getting into whether he's a better or worse player than anyone else, so really shouldn't have to 'proove' anything on the purely subjective matter of whether wanking your guitar off for 20 minutes is an appropriate substitute for some of your favourite recorded solos.

I love Mike however there is a big difference between Mike and Jimi. Jimi blazed the trail, Mike followed it. Mike is not the new Jimi of this century, as has been said, Jimi is the Jimi of this century.

Grow up, It's subjective you berk,...
I can't and am not trying to prove whether one subjective opinion is more valid than another, you're perfectly entitled to blow as much smoke up McCready's arse as you like,...
Similarly, I'm entitled to prefer it if he were to play certain solos as he recorded them.
Yes, I am a musician, No, I can't play lead guitar better than Mike McCready.

Do you have a full time carer?
All I've stated is a preference, I CAN'T BE WRONG!
Ironically enough, given your belligerent hard-on for poof of the subjective, this bizarre smugness you're pumping my way is pretty compelling evidence of learning disability.
You're about one push away from resorting to "so is your face" as an argument winning retort.
All i've really said is that I love the records so much, I'd prefer to hear them as they were recorded.
too much talking make no sence at all.....stay and comment on my opinion ..talking about me in person wont help u to proove you are right

I'll edit this analogy for it to make sense:

I guess he can't melt your face 1000x, but he certainly did the first 100.
Time to head to a show where you can hear the exact same solo to every song again.
same people in this thread would complain about Stevey and Jimi noodling up there if they saw them 100 times......BOOOOORIIINNNGGGG
no...but his music is still alive and well.
