yknow what, im gonna get on my soapbox for a second
ray toro would have been considered a guitar legend if mcr wasnt written off as a shitty emo band, he would have been known as one of the best guitar players of our time if mcr had been percieved as idk, a classic rock band. im pissed over the fact that he doesnt get the respect he deserves and im sick of people writing him off as lousy bc they cant get over the fact that hes an amazing guitarist and mcr was a good band
the range of styles that ray toro not only plays well, but easily transition to and from is absolutely amazing, which comes from years of hard work and should be acknowledged as such. the guitar solo in any mcr song slaps across the board bc ray knows how to write a song and execute the solos well and the dismissal of him is absolutely criminal. the fact that he has played with brian may and held his own is stupendous. i know im not getting my point across bc i cant type what im trying to say but honestly, raymond toro deserved way better than what he was given
