Who would be a really cool 3rd G on the G3 Tour?

[DelfinoPie]

I noticed a post by Marduk111 that made a lot of sense and I thought it would be a good thing to create a thread about...

Who do you want to see as the 3rd G on the G3 Tour guys and girls?

I personally want to see John Petrucci (I know he has already been on it but not on a UK tour )

My other choice would be Jerry Cantrell

take care everyone

Whatever they do, I hope they don't get Paul Gilbert. He's too much like Satriani and Vai to really be something interesting IMO. Pat Metheny would be a good choice.

IMHO i think an awsome contrast (but still the technical ability to match) would be Carl Verheyen!

Paul Gilbert is as much like those two as Petrucci was. So, IMO, not very much at all. He always strikes me as a singer/songwriter who can play great, whereas Satch & Vai sound like great players who also do singing and songwriting (Vai's complex "arrangements" and such excluded- I'm talking about 3-5 minute catchy fun songs).

That said, I would love to see Paul Gilbert... I think he would fit in great in the context of the G3 spirit.

paul gilbert would be nice and i would also like to see vinnie moore (even though im an australian and none of the g3 lineups have ever come here) and there are a range of others that would be cool and different like koichi hayakawa (i think thats how you spell it) man this would never happen but i would even like to see one with gary moore

but i still have to say the next g3 i want to see is with DAVE WEINER as the 3rd g and for one of the g3 jams at the end to be of S.T.S.A i recon that would be really cool

Gary assisted with his son to a G3 with Malmsteem and said that it was a **** and any of them played a "real note" so maybe he isn´t interested in joining the G3. Anyways it would be a great choice.

I was at the G3 in madrid and it was a G2 at the Jam. Audience would like to see a more competitive G at the Jam. For me Yngwie and Petrucci fitted OK that rol. Gilbert would have to be the next, but I´ve read that Vai and satch were looking for Van Halen.

[phlame]

Yeah, Van Halen would be AWESOME!!!

VH would be mega cool, but Ed needs to get his sh*t together first and I mean really get it together.

What?!

My vote is still for Gary Hoey, but EVH would be killer, too. As far as getting his act together, I'm sure he could hold it together. After all, assuming it was an instrumental act, there'd be no front man to butt heads with all tour. So, no problem. Alex and Mike haven't seemed to be at odds with Ed. The question is would he do it? When I saw him in '04, I knew it might be the last chance to see Ed. I'd like another.

Huh?

[DavejWeiner]

HAHA, I'm not a "G". I think I'd be better suited to open the whole show, then have the G's play.

I'd love to see Nuno Bettencourt, Tom Scholtz or Paul Gilbert.

I think for 2005 they should have a G5 tour...and hopefully not get their asses sued by Macintosh lol

And on that G5, there should be obviously Vai and Satch, but also Gilbert, Petrucci and...*thinks hard*... how could I forget?! BUCKETHEAD!!!

My other idea was that one the G3 2006 tour as a kind of ten year anniversary thing (even though I know there was no tour on two of the years) they should get everyone back who has been on a G3 before and have a big anniversary type thing...that would rock in my opinion

ooo sorry about the double post, but I thought since Petrucci wrote new material for G3 when he was invited onto it, maybe Adam Jones of T00L could do the same, I'm certain he could create some pretty creepy soundscapes

LOL hey dave just curious bro is that because you wouldnt want to be a G or because you dont think you are G status (this sounds so funny, i dont mean like baggy pants and too many hats guys) because if it is the latter i think you have already proved yourself already just about every time you play a song off passion and warefare. jees you and tony have to work on some of those. oh well i would be happy with your idea you opening and then seeing the g3.

what was your favourite g3 (mine was the one with yngwie for years steve joe and yngwie were my favourite guitarists) now i listen to way too many to really have favourites but i think as soon as i can hear all of shove aside the sun (look i typed the whole title) i am going to have a new cd to put among my favourites, im really digging these clips (thats why ive been posting so much i keep coming back while im listening to the clips) oh and did you get along well with yngwie?

[DelfinoPie]

My favourite G3 was probably the one that has just gone with Robert Fripp .

On a completely random note...a spider bit me last night...I wanted to catch it and put it outside otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep (being an arachnophobic) but I couldn't find it so slept in another room, I go in my room this morning to find my cat (who I have been told looks like Yngwie) is chasing it...then eats it...

well now that irrelevance is over...everyone have a good weekend
