I'm no guitar expert, but the sound is very similar to Joe Satriani.

good either way

I believe Satriani taught Vai for some time. Anyone remember?

re: #3 Slumbering Behemoth

Yes, I believe that is true. They are very similar is style...and both incredibly almost freakishly talented

I saw a guy playing with Axel Rose ( the remake of GNR after they lost all their band ) and he had a bucket of chicken on his head.

I remember now hearing that it was steve vai.

any truth to this?

Not him

Some guys make that look like it's the easiest damned thing in the world.

I don't think I want to know what's going on here:

Toward a 'culturally cliterate' family law?

Sexual desire and sexual activity long have played central roles in family law, rationalizing its rules, informing its policies, and animating any number of calls for reform. Since the 1970s, gender equality has also become a salient value in family law - purporting to correct legally imposed double standards of the past. Yet, despite the conceptual centrality of sexual desire and sexual activity, family law says nothing explicit about sexual pleasure. And despite the salience of gender equality in contemporary family law, the field remains preoccupied with performances that produce heterosexual men's orgasms while ignoring or rejecting women's interest in orgasmic pleasure. As a result, family law today is marked by fundamental omissions and inconsistencies.

The article goes on to describe a "culturally despised body part." Three guesses which part - the first two guesses don't count.

To be honest, there are a host of women who have been maimed by what is euphemistically called "female circumcision," but the feminist euphenism for this event is beyond my gag factor.

Social Science Research Network. Now there's a hole with no bottom. You can pour in as much money and time as you want and never get any useful result.

That was smokin'!

15 notutopia  Thu, Jun 18, 2009 8:56:31pm

Wow, I was going to call it a night, but I'm re-energized after that tune!
I'll go fold the laundry.

No foolin'.

The score goes up wihen no one is watching, but that's par for the course.

No one is watching most of the time -- or if they are, they have a stake in what's being watched.

BucketHead. Search on YT.

Saw him play with Frank Zappa's kid a couple years ago.He rips. I agree, a Satriani influence, but he also is shows signs of being influenced by Zappa riffs which he is quite good at.

23 SummerSong  Thu, Jun 18, 2009 10:03:21pm

Late to the thread, again. :(

24 racerx1128  Thu, Jun 18, 2009 10:05:59pm

That makes 2 of us.

25 BartB  Thu, Jun 18, 2009 10:41:28pm

Sigh. Another musician who cannot tell the difference between "LOUD" and "good".
Why is deliberate distortion considered good? Artsy, even.

Andres Segovia (SP?) is good.

26 harry catbox  Fri, Jun 19, 2009 2:30:39am

oh pure goodness

thanks

27 loubob57  Fri, Jun 19, 2009 6:52:32am

I like it. And speaking of Satriani I just bought the Chickenfoot CD last week. I'll have to get this one to keep it company. :)

28 aRedPhishHead  Fri, Jun 19, 2009 8:38:44am

Love the music recently, Charles.

I used to live on a steady diet of Satch, Vai, Eric Johnson, Dream Theater and Rush in high school, with Pink Floyd and Steely Dan thrown in.

29 Ponch  Fri, Jun 19, 2009 9:58:44am

Hey Charles, how's about some Steve Lukather too! ;-)
