Not his playing, but his tone. He has to have the worst electric guitar tone I've ever heard.

Utter nonsense. His tone is superb and definitive. |
I cannot listen to an Oldfield album with headphones. His tone is tinny and causes me pain. Worst ever.

She was showing her age a tad too...the sad life of eye candy. Glad I'm so unpleasant to look at. I digress to the norm with age.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Although on the biggest stage of her life, Christina Aguilera can't remember the words to the Star-Spangled Banner.

Christina Aguilera = talented singer who not only are compareable to her pairs (Britney, Shakira, Gwen Stefani and Jessica Simpson), but are compareable also to the most tallented female singers and divas)
Britney Spears = she got the looks and some mooves but have a average potensial can not be compared to the great vocal talants like Straisand, Warwick, Ross, Dion and Huoston. Aguilera can raise here head and compare herself to the elite divas.

That's too easy. And Wakeman is pretty much second to Richard Clyderman, so I think whatever talent we're talking about, it went the drain, in the last 30 years at least.

I agree about Kirk Hammett. Never rated him at all and his solos have always left me cold.

So I'm combing through some youtube and such watching guitarists and saw the version of Stevie Ray Vaughn's "Riviera Paradise" he performed the night of his death. The talent and soul in that player was just unfair. A true artist.
Earlier in the day I had heard, for the first time, one of the songs off Metallica's Death Magnetic "My Apocalypse" Kirk Hammett may well be the most talentless hack to ever grace major stages. I was thinking to myself that every one of Megadeth's guitarists could probably play Hammett's solos note-for-note after one listening, with more authentic emotion.
So give me first a musician whose talent just floors you, otherworldly.
And then a musician who just mystifies in its crappitude.
