David Usher. He fronted Moist, a very popular Canadian band and went solo. He plays guitar and keys, but is most famous for his soaring vocals and intelligent lyrics. He's one to check out.

I bought a MIM Fender Jazz new in 2008. I really hated this thing. The E string rang out SO much louder than the others. So bought a set of DiMarzio DP123BK Model J pickups and installed them. Same problem. I'm seriously not exaggerating. (has anyone out there ever experienced this?) So I traded...

Glenn Frey did quite well also.

Why would "Eat'em and Smile be a guilty pleasure? It's a fantastic album. You've got Vai, Sheehan and Bissonette backing DLR. What's not to like?
