well if some one will tell me why some of the shredders are here, it will help me with my arguments in the future, because i really didn't understood why vai is here, and satach isn't. again for me they all "just" shredders.

Songs that I mentioned before are enough to get him included, but I haven't heard his whole discography.
I think that progressive composer is what did it. I'm sure whoever added him was also having a good day and was feeling kind enough to add him  |

well thats why LTE , DT and Explorer's Club are here, but i dont see how its got something to do with his solo album, its just a pure shred album. if tony macalpine plays with vai, cab and planet x, it doesn't mean that his solo albums should be considered as prog.

It is impossible to go back in time and review each and every inclusion, we do not keep those kinds of records. At the time of their addition to the site, a team of people listened to their music and voted them in. As I have already said - the inclusion of one artist is irrelevant when considering another. Whether you or I understand why Vai is here is immaterial to the inclusion or exclusion of Satriani.
Prog Related is a special category that is outside the "normal" definitions of Progressive Music covered by our main sub-genres (Progressive Metal, Symphonic etc.). Artists considered for PR have to have some relationship to Progressive Music but do not necessarily have to be "Prog"

i dont care about each and every one, i care only about two, there are
only two shredders here, and i got an answer about one of them.
actually i got an answer about the second one two, but its a really bad
answer, and im looking if i can get a better one.

of course they different, but he said that vai is here because of his "symphonies". Malmsteen all so have symphonies but his not here. yes, of course if we judge by the technical lvl and creativity vai is much more superior, but its more about definition then ability.

You've confused me about who you are talking about. You were given a "bad" answer in your opinion for which artist?

I really must leave this thread now cause I really don't know nothing about these guitar players except for their fame.. So I'll leave the experts for this. |

sorry its 2 AM here
 .about petrucci, the only answer i got is that his solo album is here because he plays with DT. and i don't see the connection between his solo career and his work with DT, his solo album is pure shred just like satriani. |

Since I do not deal with Tech/Extreme Prog Metal inclusions I cannot give a better explanation than the one given.
Also I've never heard Suspended Animation so cannot comment on whether it is shred or not - I can tell you that until recently his discography also included An Evening With... but this has since been moved to Crossover under Rudess and Petrucci... whether this move has made any difference to his placement in Tech/Extreme is a question for the PMT and not really "on topic" for this thread (i.e. it has nothing to do with Satriani).

Well ... as a matter of fact there are some more shredders which were cleared for addition by the PMT: JT Bruce, Chris Brooks, Marty Friedman, Kiko Loureiro, Tony MacAlpine, Chris Poland and Ron Thal.

if petrucci is considered as tech, i dont see a reason why satch wont be considered as tech. but to be honest i know that petruuci shouldn't be there, i just wanted to see if some one can give me a batter answer then "Icon of Progressive Rock and Heavy Metal. Thats Why". well thanks any way.

^ there is no way to explain it in a brief sentence. But when it comes to Satch I'd like to point out that his music isn't really metal ... it has a heavy edge to it, but I would still place it in Rock, the same goes for Vai. And with that being the case, the prog metal team has no saying as to whether he should be included or not. Personally, I think that he *could* be included as prog related. But I think that it's definitely not as strong a case as Vai.

As a general policy, we do admit the solo projects of prog band members to complete the picture for that band. Such artists are tested for prog and if they fit in a prog category they will go there.
If they are not considered prog in their own right, they are added as Prog Related on the basis that their project is closely related to a prog band.
Note that this policy does not extend to members of Prog Related or Proto Prog bands. You may or may not agree with this policy, but hopefully this helps to explain the raitonale.
