Yeah? And what about Adrian Belew, Richard Thompson, Robert Fripp,
Alan Holdsworth, Peter Townshend not to mention Fred Frith...
BTW I play guitar in a Backing Band for a kind of major artist here
in Japan, actually I am in two of her bands, but because she is very
well known for her own songs to distinguish one band from the other
one does covers and all the guys in it are kind of progressive and
free music freeks and she is actually a certified schitzoid, I mean
like she has been institutionalized and everything so at the last gig
I said well "why don't we do 21st Century Schitziod Man" so I have
been sitting here all day with the album slowing it down and
listening close. I have it all worked out but hey that unison break
before the guitar solo is a real MOTHER!!! Phew!!! I hope I can
pull it off with out embarassing myself...
