You said it all, van alen--100% true!
BTW-Hasn't Tolkki lost a lot of weight? I saw the latest pics of him and he has slimmed down considerable!
Lookin' good!

And yes, he plays excellent guitar! He is one of the best...

Brownie, how can you say what's true if you haven't heard neither Tolkki nor Romeo live? "Word of mouth" is not good enough an argument to pass the quality control this time

(I mean, Romeo is generally considered the best riff-maker there is... And that's the truth!

)

I don't like to compare people 'cause they have their own style !
Romeo is very Good ! But I prefer Tolkki & His music is really great for me !

The two guys Rock ! But Timo Tolkki is my fave !

You said it best, LadyofEternity--I certainly agree with you.
Timo Tolkki Rocks! He is the greatest!

But just pure technically seeing? You can't really answer that, can you?

I have seen both Romeo and Tolkki on 12 April in Milan.

I was really impressioned by the qualities of Mike and,all right,it seems that he is better than Timo in thechnique but... I'm not so sure.

All right,Romeo plays with a great tapping and his style seems more thechnique than the style of Timo but after all he only plays scales.
Listen to TT in songs like TKOJ,SOS and others...
His tapping is unhuman!

And at the concert,if you look at the position of his nail in Stratofortress you won't be able to believe what he's doing...

Another point is the emotion,when Romeo makes a solo he didn't make you prove any emotions.
Well,Tolkki is very emotional on his solos (think about... A million light years away,Coming home,Paradise etc...)

So at the end...
ABSOLUTELY TOLKKI!

yeah thats what i meant

tolkki has so much feel, aand very much charisma
and it makes him iinfinite likeable

Yeah Tolkki play with his Soul & touch my Soul too ! I Love his music , his solos & for me He's the Best !

I clearly prefer Tolkki. His technique is far better than Romeo's and Romeo doesn't play with any emotion at all. I think he's only trying to impress people/make money.

"You said it best, flyingfinn!"

Thanks. I know.

Posted: **Wed Apr 30, 2003 11:29 pm**

But Tolkki is Tolkki, I still prefer his style of playing.

Well, that's me

Posted: **Fri May 02, 2003 10:55 pm**

Haven't you heard?!? Romeo is Tolkki and vice versa! They changed identities like in Face/Off to test their fanatic fans whether they could hear the difference... (Obviously they couldn't)

Posted: **Sat May 03, 2003 12:33 pm**

No shit

!

Posted: **Sun May 04, 2003 6:41 pm**

hehehehe

that is fun !!

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2003 12:04 pm**

@finn: c'mon.. don't tease them..

Posted: **Wed May 07, 2003 7:56 pm**

2 guitar player, 2 different style!!
I prefer Romeo for string skipping, but not for composition.
For Timo style I like alternate picking and I love its sound!!!
Great Timo T.

Come back when you've seen Romeo's video The Guitar Chapter... Then let's talk technique...

I prefere Tolkki's style but they are both great

Posted: **Sat May 17, 2003 6:08 pm**

Tolkki....Thats all that needs to be said!

Posted: **Sat May 17, 2003 7:39 pm**

I don't know a lot about guitar technique, but there is one thing I wanted to mention:

I've played a lot of different piano songs. And I discovered, that some songs are REALLY hard to play, and other songs are EASYIER to play eventhough they are twice as fast than the DIFFICULT songs.

Speed is not the only thing which makes songs difficult. You can play an ordinary scale very fast, but complex figures need more practice to be played fast.

So I'd suggest you listen carefully what kind of lines, scales and figures Tolkki and Romeo normally play and then come to your own conclusion which of them is better...

well prometeus thanx
i think the most guys here know that hehe

this is the 10000000000000 thread about best guitarists
and speed and technic were never together

hehe however i still like tolkki more
