I have never heard of this band but I'm really impressed with this cover. It was recorded in 2001 somewhere. BUT, I am not impressed with the hired bass player, he simply isnt a bass player for this song which I feel is a very bass driven song (in my head the bass should have always been in very front of this song with guitar accents present when played) At one point the guitar player plugs into another bass and plays the bass solo, which isnt played right but whole song has numerous little changes in it. Other than the bass player, I feel it is a very well performed song and fine live recording. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=464bWop6xpA

The shredmeisters are at it again? 
I was bored by them in the 80's, musical masterbation just doesn't do it for me. Give me a good groove, solidly in the pocket anyday.
Pretty much everyone after EVH, RR, YM, & SV were carbon copies IMO. |
