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 only set out to prove you wrong.

I think you are quite ignorant to all the talented musicians who are out there.

Well you think wrong, terribly, terribly, terribly wrong. In this thread I've named who I believe to be among the best at each instrument - yes, boo boo, I've heard all the musicans you listed, it's not that far fetched is it?

You just like waving all your prog at me 'cause it's your pride and joy. I edited my previous post severely btw.

Most of the musicians i mentioned arent associated with prog.

Well I excluded Gadd, etc we're only talkin rock here. The wave prog thing at me was a different unrelated point anyway

Only some of those musicians were Jazz...Mostly stuck with rock.

All the keyboardists i mentioned are rock keyboardists.

Okay let me actually read them all.

Alright, to tell you the truth I didn't know of most of their histories so I quickly looked them up and I found out something bizarre; none of them went to the Juilliard School of Music at nine years old and were identified as a prodigy! But yeah, if someone did that and had professional classical training at that age, they'd have to be like a God at the keys or something. I wonder if Rudess fits that bill...

Oh btw I love how you said "anyone who has played with Yes."

lol. Right so if you play with Yes that automatically makes you better than an elite prodigy. I know you were joking but whatever.

The only non-lols are Emerson and Wakeman. Both are extremely skilled, obviously, but.....
lol. Sorry but come on!! Rudess could ****ing play in a ****in piano ****ing concerto if he wanted to. In fact that was what he was initially set out to do! Well I know Wakeman's a classically trained pianist but he'd be totally lost in a concerto.

lol. Nice

One day we'll take over the whole of MB and dedicate to DT.

I don't have any LTE Cds yet. They seem pretty hard to find. What is their best one ?

No he wouldnt, he would pull it off better than Rudess would, i garantee it.

Emerson has proven that he could do it firsthand...And i was serious about Yes, their musicians are always top of the line.

And being educated in theory dosent automaticly make you a good musician or a very skilled one at that.

Some of the best musicians around cant even read sheet music...Music is a universial thing, its not limited to just a bunch of notes on a sheet of paper.
