[JLM]

Why not Portugal? Or Europe...

[Dookie92]

Come to Athens. Please. Just once.

[U.P]

wonder if theyre gonna make another dvd....

[^Aquila^]

GAY. They need to get some new guitarists involved instead of the same old boring faces.

Buckethead
Andy Timmons
Paul Gilbert
Guthrie Govan

C'mon Satch! All of the above would probably do it. Give 'em a call!

[Carbonated]

I'd love to see Buckethead play, haha!

[Gein]

I've got my tickets. Yes, I'm only here to brag.

[Vrstone87]

buckethead!?! *slap*

try others like Eddie Van Halen, Zakk Wylde, Alexi Laiho, Herman Li, Sam Totman, or Slash....anyone but buckethead.psh

JLM :

yeah, why not Portugal?

[guitartilldeath]

i thought paul gilbert would be starring in the next G3...oh well guess i'd have wait. I'd kill to see all 3 guitarists using floyd roses at the same time

[Dayn]

Yep, I'm going to the first show at the Convention Centre. I was bloody shaking, can't wait!

[rockstar18]

Checked.

[nehpets5555]

whats wrong with petrucci? he is superior to all of those other guys.. though i admit that all of them rock. "same old boring faces"? are you insane? steve vai, joe satriani, and any other awesome guitarist? how can that not be appreciated?

petrucci wrote suspended animation because he was invited to do the G3 with satch and vai. he needed material to play! haha thats ownage. suspended animation is great, though i like DT more.

buckethead is great... herman li is really good, but too cocky.. he doesnt have the right attitude--although, i wouldnt be surprised to see him do it. shit, they had yngwie malmsteen, right? they will get around to other guitarists... so far theyve chosen pretty unique guitarists though. herman li isnt really unique, just fast. they already did "just fast" with yngwie. =/

[Guitar_Poet]

same thing goes for sam totman, i guess...

[rush4life]

Also, I don't think Zakk Wylde or Alexi Laiho would fit the "G3" mold.

[acshadow25]

BRING IT FOR ENGLAND!! G3 is like the perfect guitar chemistry, it works so well

[Eternal_One]

For all those who say the Buck sucks:

Watch the whole thing fools.

[fluffylump2]

they need to get John 5 on that tour as soon as possible. It is not likely the John 5 will tour solo anytime soon, so G3 would be great for him.

[Soul Power]

Is it just electric guitar, or do they do some acoustic stuff too?

[CreepyGuy]

Buckethead would be awesome for them.. but I don't think he would fit in..

[JS5150]

I really like the Eric Johnson one. Although EVH or Buckethead would be pretty cool. Another great one is Neil Zaza. Haven't heard of him? check him out.

[Devon_555]

I would shit myself if i got tickets to that... Vai, Petrucci and Satriani are ****in amazing. COME TO CANADA G3!!!!

**** yea, me too! this is my fav. g3 lineup so far... in fact, i dont think there could be a better g3 lineup. come to the states guys... at least California... i mean youre only doin a handful of shows in teh australia.. youll have time! =P

JS5150 wrote:

yea me too! eric johnson is friggin awesome (ah via musicom is just incredible)... but i saw him when he was touring with satch (they did a mini g3 then too, in fact. vai was missing though *cries*)... and i never thought id say this but it was horrible... the bass overpowered EVERYTHING... hope he fired his sound guy cuz i really wanted to hear johnson play... i did hear him a few times when the bass was quiet and he was awesome... lol... he kept screwing up on the intro to Cliffs of Dover, and he would pretend to be randomly soloing instead, lol. it made me laugh... im sure that part woulda been awesome had the bass been controlled..... but then again it only made satch sound 100000% than he already is. satch's performance was flawless.

[SurfinWithSatch]

There is quite a simple reason for it being Satch Vai and Petrucci more than anyone else, for a start, satch and vai are gonna always do it together coz of being best mates, and the reason the keep choosing john is because he isnt egotistic like a lot of the guitarists mentioned above, thats why they havent asked buckethead or herman li, or called yngwie back to do another G3, too full of themselves.....although it would be good to have eric johnson come back to the line up again, or even have him join the other 3, that would be a show!!!(^^,)

[Loomis-Amott]

Dude, I wanna see Jeff Loomis on there

[Cobalt Blue]

I heard Steve Morse joined G3 for an encore at some time... i'm not sure his style would quite fit in, but G# with Steve Morse be cool to see

[mbuu007]

it shouldve been paul gilbert

Dude, G3 is for solo guitarists. None of those guys are, even if they're awesome guitarists.

I agree.

If John 5 had been on this tour, I would've killed five people for front row seats.

[playfielder]

I've got my tickets. Yes, I'm only here to brag.

He he, me too. I can't wait. They are some of the most influention guitarists around!

[Iron Skull]

I've heard that Paul Gilbert is thinking of joining G3 in the future. I've also got my tickets and I couldn't hope for a better lineup that the one they have now. Plus Malmsteen is touring australia, so all's good.

[Deaniemcfeeni]

i agree witht hose who said paul gilbert. even though i don't live near australia, it'd be awesome if it was satch, vai, and gilbert. hmm, maybe i'd fly down there to see that show haha

[pearlJam_31490]

i actually i would be shocked if they had herman Li do it cause he isnt that unique or creative same for Alexi. I would really enjoy seeing paul Gilbert or Rusty Cooley though.

[ampedgrappler]

Just come to within 500 miles of wv. Please. God if u love me u will do this 4 me.

[angelcommand]

eric clapton should have done something... he was here in aus not long ago doing his tour, he's a talented acoustic player, im sure he could whip up something that would compliment these guys, not just plucking your guitar at 200notes per bar. harmony sounds just as amazing

[rock_or_roll]

Dude, G3 is for solo guitarists. None of those guys are, even if they're awesome guitarists.

ah, yeah isnt john in dream theatre?

[angelcommand]

and petrucci's a robot

Bucket head kicks the sh*t out of slash when it comes to who's the better guitarist. But yeah as the guy up there somewhere ^^ said, none of those guitarists mentioned, including buckethead would fit into G3

That would be friggin' sweet, especially since (I think) Via appeared on Songs For Sanity on a track or two.

Vai appeared on the track Pernieum. He does every second solo.

Actually, when G3 hits South America, the tour will be with Satch, Petrucci and Eric Johnson..so no Vai in South America.

I'm pissed off though..I'll miss out the G3 in australia by three days..because Im going to South America, where they'll already have played

[Rajah]

This is news? I got my tickets a month a go when they went on sale. I got 6 rows from the front for the first show in Melbourne.

well, ive heard more from li than totman. maybe i was wrong... but being in df and playing alongside the cocky, egotistical likes of herman li is strange for a guitar player who is better than that.

Okay I am going to G3 tonight
