I have a giant poster of Q-Bert naked in my room; in moments of greatest despair, I know that Mother Nature has blessed us with a human being like this :D Of course, reflecting on the fact that there are simultaneously men like Q-Bert and Giucas Casella leads to the conclusion that in this world, truly anything is possible...

Well, it’s obvious, the ITF would have been born in the late '80s and the X-Ecutioners and ISP would have arrived 10 years later, so I think they were even scratching without a mixer and fader, like Schumacher driving the Ferrari in first gear (maybe he did it this year though ;-). Anyway, all jokes aside, there's one certainty: this record is still a colossal piece of junk! :D

Grandmixer D.S.T. was a kid who barely used the turntable? :-/ Sometimes I'm baffled... Anyway, the album was called "Future Shock," come on, it wasn't bad! I liked it :-))

I'm listening again to "Inventions For Electric Guitar" by Gottsching... Wow, what style! There's a piece where he repeats the same chord for 20 minutes with minimal variations and stratospheric effects; it almost sounds like Techno-Trance, truly incredible, way beyond Vai :D

Herbie Hancock is untouchable, "Head Hunters" and all the albums from the first half of the '70s are experimental and untouchable masterpieces of Jazz-Funk/Fusion, which I definitely prefer to classic Jazz. I agree with you about Bill Evans, he is undoubtedly one of the top ones; I really like "Bill Evans Album" from the early '70s, the first in which he abandons the traditional piano and plays the Fender Rhodes, following in the footsteps of Miles Davis's experiments, Zawinul, or Les McCann. "Funkallero" is an extreme blast :D

I am not only fully convinced of this, but you know what? Do you know who else has breakfast with Vai and company? At least half of all the Funk guitarists from the Blaxploitation era. Try listening to all the black productions from '67-'68 to '75, and you will find musicians who Satriani and his associates should be holding the instrument for or tuning up.

One of the most horrific covers I have ever seen in my life. I don’t know the album, nor am I likely to be interested in listening to it, since I detest egocentrism and the pointless display of technique for its own sake. To me, playing an instrument (I speak as a layperson) means creating. Yes, it can involve a showcase of technical prowess, but above all it should be about inventiveness, originality, and, most importantly, communicating emotions. That’s why I don’t even consider these pseudo-virtuosos remotely comparable to masters like Jimi Hendrix, David Gilmour, Manuel Gottsching of Ash Ra Tempel, Lee Ranaldo, Johnny Marr of The Smiths, Billy Corgan, John Frusciante, Buckethead, or anyone like them. The most beautiful guitar album of the last 25 years? "From Here To Infinity" by Lee Ranaldo tied with "Niandra Lades..." by John Frusciante, two whom Vai would gladly devour for breakfast ;-)
