I'm not a very big System fan. But, they are, however, slightly prog. They're out there, and some of the riffage is interesting and kind of cool. The singer has a unique voice that is awesome at times. Over all, they're stuff just goes over the edge for me. I don't really like that.

trust me if you like prog, go get a mars volat CD, either will do, but I recomend Frances the Mute, it is prog for the new century. Dream Theater is keeping it alive while The Mars Volta is taking it to new and uncharted grounds. But I still perfer DT over TMV, for the simple fact that DT has made better CD's than TMV, LIke Scenes from a memory. but TMV is just plain awsome Cedric fucking rocksout on the guitar he is my hero, behind JP.

I shall check them out :)

What I heard from Mars Volta, I didn't really like. Maybe it's because my brother introduced them as "exactly like Dream Theater," and they sounded nothing like Dream Theater. I should give them another chance.

John Petrucci: brilliant genius
Mark Tremonti: *please don´t beat me down with sticks, but I´m not sure who this is*
Steve Vai: creative genius
Joe Satriani: boring as hell
Bumblefoot: creative, hilarious, awesome shredder...there are no other options -kay, I´ll just agree then...
Linkin Park : no?
Axl Rose: annoying as hell, but listenable.
Yngwie Malmsteen: amazing player
Jimi Hendrix: highly overrated, but he did make guitar a lead part of a band, not just something in the back, behind the trombone- and saxophone-players.
Jethro Tull: cool
Prog: musical masturbation
Shredding: legit guitar technique
Dave Matthews: overrated
Mars Volta: pile of crap, but a pile of crap that I like
System of a Down: the future of prog(for those who are not "fucking-weirdo-sounds"-crippled)
Zakk Wylde: savior of somewhat mainstream rock

[matt100fly]

I think you have system and mars volta backwards

i>John Petrucci: definitely brilliant
Mark Tremonti: pass
Steve Vai: creative genius
Joe Satriani: awesome player with a gift for good melody
Bumblefoot: don't know him
Linkin Park : not my thing, but a lot better than Limp Bizkit
Axl Rose: has LSD. 12 years after he shouldn't. Could have been on the top of the world again if he wasn't an idiot.
Yngwie Malmsteen: amazing player whose pompous, asshole attitude outweigh his playing ability. And I don't like his style, although that's a matter of taste.
Jimi Hendrix: Don't know enough to say how much of a genius he was, however he was influential on a lot of people. So I'll say Jimi is a god (on guitar legend scale)
Jethro Tull: don't know
Prog: musical masturbation or a legit, awesome style of playing? both.
Shredding: mindless, musical masturbation or a legit guitar technique? if done right, both as well.
Dave Matthews: I'm happily ignorant on this issue
Mars Volta: ---
System of a Down: didn't know they were prog. They have my respect.
Zakk Wylde: mainstream? Has BLS become

John Petrucci: brilliant genius, if that even covers it, which it doesn't. Have you picked up that new solo album of his
