since several months ago, i've had the opportunity to be one of tracy g's 'facebook friends'; where he posts some example videos of his album-making process, as well as his jamming around. it's become apparent that tracy g is one of the most creative players in rock.
tracy actually has a lot more to his leads than i'd previously given him credit for; and of course, his rhythm riffs are excellent.
overall... gotta give tracy a top originality rating, and high technical rating as well.
Blitz,
He really is a cool dude and if only Vinnie could be even 1/10 as appreciative of his fans as Tracy is. For many years I would buy stuff from the store on his website often at Christmas time for both myself, Jixter Tate and my brother Steve and he would often call me after I made the purchase and inquire and thank me for the purchase of 3 copies and take the time to ask if I needed anything special like a card in the box, gift wrapping etc. On a couple of occasions he has even spoke to me for as long as 90 minutes on the phone telling me what he is working on, who is recording in his studio at the moment and extensive conversations about his years in the band DIO. Tracy is a huge Tony Iommi Fan but I have always told him truthfully that I like his style better than Tony's without slagging Tony in any way. He is a cool and hard working dude and I enjoy his music and buy his merchandise to support his causes.
I too follow his fun and sometimes humorous post to his fan base on Facebook and myspace before when it was relevant.
This guy is a great human being who deserves the praise and accolades of the fans that he has.
