I do not know about you but I have an impression that most well-known musicians are simply boring.
Joe Satriani, Steve Vai ,Yngwie Malmsteen even John Petrucci.
They are technically great but weak when it comes to compositions.
All their songs are very similar to each other,they are similar to others.
There is nothing surprising in their compositions.
As composers they imitate themselves,they are their own cover bands
They sound like composing own songs, they make a cover of their previous works.
You know more creative musicians than those on the front pages of newspapers?
