bad quality, prolly the mic tho, maybe this is the un e-q'd version

Still, with artists like Mongrain and Hendrix, there should be no competition.

I'm sure they didn't end up in the music industry just so they could show off; Hendrix had so much soul that you couldn't compare it. On the other hand, Mongrain has a LOT of soul, just a different... "type", if you follow.

Yes, I was kidding. I said that just to strike a nerve. It's a pretty ludicrous claim and I thought people would realize that. I said it simply to underscore my opinion that Mongrain is no Hendrix.

a great sound and a great improvision

Furthermore, Kaki King wrote those songs, and if you really think she can compose better music, then you obviously haven't seen her other works.

"Go listen to your August Rush rip-offs"
Are you KIDDING me? Look, I'm fine with you having a different opinion and all, but to have the nerve to say such a thing, and the ignorance to claim "August Rush rules them all!"

You can't say that these songs are the rip-offs when the most famous song from that movie was repetition of harmonic slaps; while these songs are actually created with care of melodic content.

PS - The beauty of what Erik Mongrain does is in his articulation and dynamics; two elements completely lacking in a band like DEP.

LMFAO @ this tool calling Dillinger Escape Plan innovative. Ben Weinman's entire career has been a huge exercise in copying Today Is the Day's Willpower album. And he doesn't even play well live.

What is "harmonically interesting" rehashing every guitar metalcore lick that has become a cliche over the past 10 years?

Neither artist is very original, but I'd rather rip off Don Ross and Michael Hedges than Deadguy and Greg Ginn. Yuck.

Where'd you get jazz from? All the guitarists I named are in hardcore bands. I do love jazz though. It's the best.

udslash (October 25, 2008 at 12:36 am)

gambit...you're a jive turkey. You seem like a person who worships jazz...and that's just disgusting&wrong. This debate is simple: Andy Mckee and Erik Mongrain for the win. Oh, and Rainsong guitars absolutely own all.

myfavxmanisgambit (October 17, 2008 at 7:08 am)

So there is no need for you to tell me to shut up or that I'm stupid. Go listen to your August Rush rip-offs and I'll enjoy what I like. Thanks for the banter. It's been a lot of fun.

myfavxmanisgambit (October 17, 2008 at 7:02 am)

Fine. I will name a couple guitarists that, in my opinion, blow this guy out of the water. Dan and Pin from Sikth. Paul Waggoner and Dusty Waring from Between the Buried and Me. Ben Weinman from Dillinger Escape Plan. These guys make much more innovative and interesting music IN MY OPINION. Remember that. All of this is subjective. You have your opinion and I don't agree with it. Also, even though he is not technically as impressive, John Frusciante has more soul than most musicians out there.

myfavxmanisgambit (October 17, 2008 at 6:45 am)

I'm better than Mongrain. Just in case you think you're talking to someone who is just trying to be a wiener then let me assure you that I am very educated musically and I consider myself a much better guitarist than Mongrain. Come on man, he just impressing you with a technique. His music is boring to me. It has nothing harmonically interesting to me. You're not going to convince me that he is the best guitarist out there because he is definitely not.

y0ukeun (October 17, 2008 at 12:07 am)

you're stupid. i like doug smith a lot and listened to some kaki king so i knew they were gonna be in the soundtrack. shutup and name ONE guitarist. you can't because you don't know any. because you dont know jack about guitar. next time, don't speak about a subject you're completely ignorant about. if you dont like mongrain, whatever. but if you can't even name one guitarist thats better than him then shutup

myfavxmanisgambit (October 17, 2008 at 12:04 am)

Ha ha you had to look all that up. Or else you are obsessed with the worst movie of all time. You can't name 15 guitarists more innovative than Mongrain because you aren't looking. Mongrain is BORING.

y0ukeun (October 16, 2008 at 5:05 pm)

nd i'm sure freddie highmore could play bits and pieces of the songs, but if you watch, he's not even hitting the right notes half the time. there's a reason why they filmed Kaki King's fingers when they zoomed up on August playing. And I can't name more than 15 guitarists MORE innovative than Mongrain because I think Mongrain is up there...but I can definitely name 15 who are equally skilled and innovative. You on the other hand, I doubt you can name even 5. You claimed there were hundreds

y0ukeun (October 16, 2008 at 5:02 pm)

yes i play guitar. i wouldn't say a word about a subject i'm ignorant about. i know guitar though. kid from august rush? REALLY??! that kid doesnt even play. the songs freddie highmore IMITATED in that movie were played by Kaki King, who wrote Bari Improv, and her rendition of Michael Hedges' Ritual Dance. Doug Smith and some other guy wrote dueling guitars. but neway, you're talking like those are Freddie's songs and he can actually play them. lol

myfavxmanisgambit (October 16, 2008 at 9:37 am)

Do you play guitar? The kid from August Rush taught himself in one night. But seriously, if you can't name 15 guitarists more innovative than mongraine you should shut up. There's more out there than this.

y0ukeun (October 13, 2008 at 8:03 pm)

august rush? you're kidding me right. how old are you? you're bringing up a movie to back up your argument? and you say theres hundreds of guitarists out there doing MORE innovative things than mongrain. try to name even 15 guitarists off the top of your head. if you can't, then i suggest you shutup.

myfavxmanisgambit (October 9, 2008 at 10:06 am)

A U G U S T R U S H

myfavxmanisgambit (October 9, 2008 at 8:21 am)

First of all, that kid from August Rush was doing this when he was like 9 or something. But that was magic. Family togetherness magic. But seriously, innovative/original? Nah. Sounds a lot like Nick Drake to me (I know he doesn't tap). And Micah Scoville 8 finger tapping (his hair proves he did it first). Eric just ripped both of them off and called it airtap. For me, there are more interesting guitarists out there. Hendrix is out of Mongraine's league. August Rush rules them all!!!!

This guy will never be a modern day Hendrix. There are hundreds of guitarists doing things a lot more innovative than this.

Hundreds of guitarists doing this? Granted ...But Watch "Air Tap " name even ONE guitarist coming near (not copying/covering)?? Then.... re-think your statement, i think you will come to the same conclusion (for innovativeness and originality ) that i have myself

AlexLococo (October 9, 2008 at 1:41 am)

it's ok... you don't have to like what i like
