Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
I haven't heard many song by Romeo. So I prefer Tolkki. But I've heard that Romeo could the best guitarist in the world.
Aya!
Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
Not again....
This discussion has been done many times (albeit on the Tolkki forum IIRC).

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
They are both very good-but, I still have to say Tolkki does it for me!
But, BTW-whats this I hear from alot of folks that Symphony X almost stole the show from Stratovarius?

Re: Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
Yes, you have heard right. I have never said that (And I never say it. Strato was better!), but many else have said that Symphony X was fantastic, but Stratovarius was totally.. something.browneyedgirl wrote:

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
Romeo is tecnically superrior... and got great emotion in too... but I don´t think this question is aswerable, since they are very different with their style...

They're both great, I couldn't really make out a difference when I saw both of them live.

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
I agree that this question is pointless...
Both of these guys have their own style, both are great at their talent, and both have infinite number of admirers.
To say one is better than the other is pointless because it so depends on individual opinion.

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
It's hard but i prefer Romeo more because hes like a god with guitar and tolkki os good but i don't like to compare these two anymore.
Escape before the others, search for privacy, make a change, close the door, without a sound hallucinations. I have my doubts.

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
Why people always compare Tolkki to Romeo? What incommon they have? Seriously? Not that much.
I say they both sucks.

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
Tolkki & Romeo look a bit same, tho Tolkki way taller!
Both great guitarists, and they play different type of music.

Re: Re: Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
As I see it, Romeo uses alot of different techniques, like legato, sweep picking, tapping, string-skipping and can combine these in many ways. If Hanne means Romeo is more technical in this way, it's true.

Yes, how good? From what I've seen and heard from Romeo, the way he can combine different techniques in a insane but tasteful way and really being capable of playing the stuff is truly amazing, and yes, I'm prette sure Tolkki can play many different techniques as well, but how good? What is he capable of? Since I haven't heard it, I really don't know, and since this isn't Tolkki-style I'm not going to find out. So....Romeo is superior, technically, to me

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
I remember seeing Tolkki playing pure shred in TV (Jyrki) when there was a program series of finnish guitar "legends" and there he played quite insane stuff, his basic technique is good, just the style is weird
I guess he's just not too interested of "showing off" and having stress about it nowadays, relaxed way of playing his own stuff. Guitarplaying on "sportsmen level", technically fucking hard requires practise every day, it's not like when you learn it once you can do it for the rest of your life, constant work is needed. Timo has a life, he's not a guitar nerd. And that's a good thing IMO

Re: Tolkki vs. Romeo
Romeo has a life too, and you know it, coz you've heard The Odyssey Talk about symphonic arrangements!!!
Oh, and about showing off... Then why did Tolkki stress out how hard it was to play Stratofortress? To tell people that his abilities are weakening?
