I don't watch a whole lot of live shows on youtube, but aside from this I can't think of any even remotely recent ones where he also plays the solos coherently and more or less how they were originally written.
I completely understand a desire to mix things up on a nightly basis with the solos to satisfy a creative drive, but as far as I can tell he was almost always just playing random notes in a very sloppy way for most of them. Not "pure acid" but more like "I hope this hard-on bearer has a ride home" caliber messiness.
At any rate it's a relief to see that he's still more than capable of doing his music justice live on stage.

trey's solos have always been pretty erratic and atonal, even on the grindcrusher footage from 89 they're completely wacky

Go to 39:47 thereabouts, the last break in Prayer of Hatred, listen to his tremelo pick. That's not the fierce and "trembling" trem picking I remember historically from him.

Yeah that's obvious, but there's a difference between erratic, atonal, adventurous, etc. and downright lackluster, flimsy sounding and sloppy.zim wrote: trey's solos have always been pretty erratic and atonal, even on the grindcrusher footage from 89 they're completely wacky

Definitely there is a difference. it's like a slayer chaotic solo vs. trey classic chaotic solo = noise vs. interesting and memorable soundscape.Paste Human wrote:Yeah that's obvious, but there's a difference between erratic, atonal, adventurous, etc. and downright lackluster, flimsy sounding and sloppy.zim wrote: trey's solos have always been pretty erratic and atonal, even on the grindcrusher footage from 89 they're completely wacky
