Everyone likes to point to Sparky's classic bassline for "Hoogie Boogie Land" as a high point of their album, and rightfully so. But his work on Dream-Ing is at least as phenomenal if not more so.

He has a stage presence to rival Steve Harris. Many bassists are totally static and expressionless, but this guy's all over the place and obviously having a blast.

What really strikes me is sparky's ability to play melodically with Curtiss, the singer...who I must point out, rivals Rob Halford and Joe Perry.

I saw pictures of it online somewhere... apparently it's limited edition. Epiphone moved production from their factory in China, to their factory in Hoogie Boogie Land. Only 300 were made. Each comes with a hardcase and a commemorative silly hat.

+1. And check out his incredible chops on 'Hot as Hell.' His left hand is just a blur. I'll try and slow it down on my computer to transcribe it, wish me luck. Wow.

I fall for it every time. I think that Complete will be so bad that it is funny -- it is just bad.

Sparky on the other hand is a BASS GOD, and needs his own solo project.
