WTF!
I don't give a wet crap who's playing guitar on that, it's a fukking abomination.
Wolfie is ok with this?

That was interesting for sure. But I have to admit that his tone on that is the best I’ve heard from him in years. Not too mid heavy and it was near perfect.

thats because nobodys buying Steve's music which is basically weird strat noises.

Guitarists have gushed over Vai and Satriani for decades but I guess I never saw the attraction to it other than Joe is kind of a gymnast with the whammy bar which I guess is kind of cool for five minutes. *shrugs
