whenever i see conversations about Tom DeLonge on the internet (looking up tabs or people's questions about playing their songs, etc.) i usually see people saying he's a horrible guitarist, and that he's sloppy.
is there anyone here who thinks so? because i can easily deny that he is a bad guitarist, and that he doesnt know what he's doing. if he plays a little sloppy, who cares? that's awesome. normally it sounds cool hitting wrong notes, like when he intentionally plays Going Away To College weird at the Big Day Out concert in Sydney in 2000.
and about people complaining that all he does is power chords and octaves?
that's unbelievably loving stupid when there's songs like
Wasting Time or pretty much anything off Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch.
i'll link ShadowsfeaR to this thread since he's the only guitarist i know of here ;-;
