Singing bad melodies badly with autotune, or speaking over music. Bands that are big in Japan have more interesting chord progression, they use more advanced chords like 6- 9- or 13-chords, more chords per song, and guitar solos are in like every song.

Really? 45 years on guitar, I'm pretty good, but what just happened? Been a fan for decades, and now rediscovering the gift of Paul Gilbert. Holy S***!!!

Paul Gilbert's crew once told him that he couldn't play a show because of technical difficulties. Despite no electricity for 11 miles, he was undeterred and played unplugged for several hours. Slash then appeared in the sky, mounting a flaming lion and flanked by Dio and Vivian Campbell riding a dragon. They were so impressed by his immense mad skillz that they gifted him an amp of solid gold. Thus the result is this tribute.

1:42 -- Still one of the coolest runs I've ever heard on guitar. Almost has a Scottish bagpipes vibe! It's not on the record, and I don't think I've seen him do it on any other live performance of the song.
