Yup I was there!

One of the most showstopping performances by an individual guitarist within a band context I've ever seen. He was as big as the stage required that night.

With Roth too..

Till Firegarden he still tried to throw us a bone by way of the rare chorus... Then the sphincter snapped shut and I've been bored since.

This artistic self obsession doesn't have to happen.. Ask Paul Gilbert how it's done.

^yeah, can't really sit and listen to him, but when i saw him at G3 he put on a fantastic show and it was hugely enjoyable.

More posing and posturing than Celine Dion these days. I still have Flexable on vinyl (original cover) and Passion & Warfare (also vinyl). Haven't bought anything of his except the G3 dvds since though
