Hot or Not? Matias Kupiainen signature Ruokangas

I owe a lot to the Ruokangas and they are my favorite people on earth but this isn't my favorite Ruokangas. Just not the right thing for me.

Plus I spent 4 days next to Vik guitars. If I hear one more person play shred metal I'm going to punch them in the dick.

Yeah. I look at this guitar and I know exactly what the guy playing it is going to sound like. A shitload of distortion, lots of LEDs flashing, lots of screaming bends, sweep-picking, and some tapping but not too much because he's not another EVH clone.

Here's a younger version of Kupiainen, back when he played PRS'es and before he joined Stratovarius.

It does seem to confirm what USian Pie said: "A shitload of distortion, lots of LEDs flashing, lots of screaming bends, sweep-picking, and some tapping but not too much because he's not another EVH clone."

He seemed quite arrogant as well.

Sometimes Concentration and seriousness is confused with arrogance. I think this is the case here. I would love everyone to be as comfortable and inviting as Paul Gilbert but that just is not always the case.

well, it appeared to me me had a dig at Kurt Cobain at the end (correct me if I am wrong but he seemed to say 'fucking dick')
