Yep I'm a musician. The rock instruments I play are keyboards/piano, drums, electric and acoustic guitar. I'm also a decent trumpeter and others.
You don't need to attack me by saying I think I know everything. That's just stupid, especially when you're the one who's naming 1000 musicians who you think are better than DT and whatever.
I disagree with pretty much your entire list. There's no way that all those or even any of those guitarists are better than Petrucci (besides Angelo). Most of them are total lol, Blackmore! rofl! The man hasn't heard/seen Pertucci at all I don't think! And all those bassists made me lol too. Come back to me when you watch L@B, i.e Myung is a maniac. I don't like it how you said: "Whoever says this is a idiot." I so don't understand how someone can say this then say things like "especially when you think you know everything." You're acting like your opinion is Godly. I just wanna say that there is no way on Earth Emerson is even in the same universe as Rudess. It is just ridiculous. You really need to see Rudess play live. You act like you're the only one in the world who has heard said music. It's not like I haven't heard almost every single track Emerson has every keyboarded for, and there is nothing there that has even mildly impressed me with comparison to Rudess. And the fact that you've named a pack more is ridiculous. And since I've been a musician and critic for a long time now, it's pretty safe to say that anyone who thinks Rudess is one of the best or the best keyboardist in rock isn't an idiot, so stop being silly and arrogant. But I will grant you with the fact that Emerson is definitely one of the best keyboardists in rock history, maybe even number two, and not just skill wise but of course as an innovater amongst other things...But better than Rudess???
PS: And you were joking with the Mahavishnu Orchestra thing weren't you?
