People need to get the fuck off youtube, and on to the Outworld site to buy their CD. I can promise you that you'll be shocked at how heavy/musical it really is.

Well, i have his solo CD and listened to the outworld album, And the solo disc is cool from a technical standpoint, but not something i've listened to in the last year or two. And Outworld is... well, boring, honestly.

But who cares thats my opinion go generate your own that isn't based on what people say in this thread.
Go listen to your own music and enjoy it.

We should be focusing on his guitar rather than his music seemings (even though this thread is in the general music discussion section) the video is of him exercising his technical ability and not showing off his latest composition composed of fantastically well though out ideas.... (yeah i know thats not really Rusty's style)

And my opinion on his guitar is like others, its overpriced. For that cash you should work on buying a custom seven with your own bit of style in its looks and your own features to suit your playing.

Well I agree on his guitar, it certainly is a cool design, but I'd rather get a custom, more similar to Stephen Forte's LAG, ultra thin body, 27-frets, 7 strings, amazing quilt finish...

Impressive technical ability without a doubt. It's not my taste personally, but in terms of being a spectacle he's great. He's very technically proficient and he always provides some interesting viewing too. He gave a phone interview to Jemfest Radio a few years back which I thought was really interesting. Don't know if anybody else caught it?

Whatever, Rusty. I'd love to see you match my drunken attempts at scale runs. You will be playing scales you have never heard in your life.

Well Rusty is great and all but I don't dig his shredding or his riffing. Listened to the Outworld album.. really really did not like it. I have the same problem with Petrucci.
I don't get the lower horn cutaway. It looks stupid and my hand never hits the lower horn, even on my Charvel that had a full size strat body. Chest rocking makes a guitar easier to play but... lo and behold! If you gradually lower it over time, you can play just as well, without looking like a dork!

dougsteele · 05-20-2008, 12:23 PM

He's too fast for my liking, but he seems like a cool dude, and that's what counts.

If it came in black and didn't have the RC inlays I think I'd buy it today, though from the way he's holding it, it looks like it weighs 13 pounds.

Is that trem really as bad as people say? Just wondering, I have no experience with it. If it's terrible, maybe I'd wait for a hardtail option....

And just for the record, I have no idea who Rusty Cooley is. He's probably pimping his guitar so much because it's hard to make ends meet as a virtually unknown musician.

Well I think guitars look dorkier hanging low around your crotch, but that's a whole nuther debate...
