steve vai was in Kyiv last month i think, giving a master class. witnesses report he would also talk to people before and after the show, and seemed a nice guy. and how funny, the audience actually were a dicks, asking idiotic and obvious questions.

Theres plenty of arrogant dicks out there that can barely play, at least Malmsteen has something to be big headed about.
Gilbert seems the most approachable of the bunch though. I dont know if i would class John 5 as a shredder.

i'm not into john 5's music, but to me he's at least fun to watch. i even listened to some of his albums few times.
also, he's got incredible collection of teles.

Paul Gilbert melts my face and I always enjoy it.

I'm realising now why people on youtube used to call me "Like a Fat Paul Gilbert who can't play", he looks like me when I had short hair.
Anyway he comes across as a really nice guy. He uses Vintage/Modern amps these days I believe.
