Hi Marty!

I'm a very big fan of yours and Megadeth is my favorite HM band of all time!

Anyway, I often bump into people who are so close-minded (or maybe purists?) that when they hear a guitarist plays fast, then they say the guy is a robot and that technical playing is wanking and ZERO emotion.

I have have tons of answers to these poor souls and but...

I wanna ask you how would YOU answer people who say shredding has zero emotion?

Thanks! And see you in Manila on May 26th!!!

Soren

P.S. I always tell these close-minded people, something like: "shredding has zero emotion eh? have you ever listenned to marty friedman?"

The key is to not get into arguments that boil down to musical taste. Everyone has the right to their own opinion, WHATEVER it is. Mr.A may think radio static is gorgeous emotional music from heaven and Mr.B may have orgasms when he listens to rap music played backwards, Mr.C may listen to Queen all day long. Each opinion is EXACTLY EQUALLY valid. See ya in Manila!
