Oh, and that bass player playing the "funny looking bass" is Billy Sheehan. Probably one of the best rock bassists around. The answer to why he is playing it - BECAUSE HE CAN. | |

I'm more into Greg Howe, though. Steve is the quintessential rock guitarist...thus he gets very little love on certain messageboards. ![]() ![]() I've got some decent live stuff of Tony Mac when he was doing his solo thing. Maybe I'll YouTube some of it. | |

I agree. Hoping to catch him doing some live stuff since he's relocated to the L.A. area. This looks interesting... ![]() ... ![]() tA ![]() http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Well besides Jesse Johnson 1) Prince's tone has been far less pretty since -- I'd say -- Graffiti Bridge. Not sure what processors he threw out with his drum machines and computers (if you believe that story he told), but his tone is nowhere near as fat and pretty as it used to be. 2) Only 5? Eric Clapton Doyle Bramhall II Steve Lukather Robben Ford Eric Johnson Phil Keaggy Michael Hampton Jennifer Turner Mark Baldwin Nick Gonzalez (Salvador) and Eric Gales, among many others. | |

Anytime I'm able to rave about Doyle II, Jennifer Turner and Nick Gonzalez, et al., I'll take the opportunity. Just for giggles, let's add theAudience and ThreadBare, too... I'm a neck pickup-boosted mids kind of guy... | |

Though, in Mr. Vai's case, he might insist that church be "somewhere between pagan and Christian." | |

Vai is a legend. The movie Crossroads (Not with Britney Spears the other one from the 1980's), played with Whitesnake, 1990's album "Passion and Warfare".
Thank's for the UTube, I added this to my favorites. Have been playing this song here and there this summer. I love how they make Vai's hair blow all around while he is playing. . classic stuff. . very rock n roll. I also dig it when he plays the guitar in a piano position, his fingers are so long and crazy all over the place. | |
