For me it's not even that, there's just never been a time where I've been writing a song (an actual, song not a show peice ) and said to myself "Hmmm Nick, I think I need to add a bagillion notes in three seconds here, then I'll end with the world's most masturbatory sweep picking ever." Sure it sounds cool when used in moderation but that's just about it. I love Vai though, the different patterns and layers of sound he makes with his uber-tapping skills blows my freakin' mind!!!

I often refer to Allan Holdsworth as "Howthef Uckdidhe Dothat", and most other guitarists I refer to as "The Guy From (insert band name here)" which works 99% of the time .
