Wow.
There's really not much more to say about it, except maybe 'wow' again...
Last night Carole and I were at the G3 '03 Concert, along with about 2,000 hardcore guitar-lovin' fans, and at least six of their girlfriends.
As if Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, and Yngwie Malmsteen wasn't a shreddin' enough lineup, just get a load of the rest of the band members... Vai's keyboardist and um, 'rhythm' guitar player was none other than shrapnel gawd of the late eighties, Tony McAlpine, and they were accompanied on bass by none other than Billy Sheehan himself. Oh, yeah - speaking of bassists, Satriani's compadre was Matt Bissonette.
If I may borrow from the Georgia Straight, "That was a lot of notes!"
I had an awesome time - and I'm kinda speachless... I mean, how do you review something like that, other than to just say: Wow!
In other news, China Makes Space History Today by being the 3rd nation to successfully put a man into space - third only to Russia and the U.S. Hmm, sage is gonna grind me on this one... score: that's two for the commies, and one for the capitalsit pigs. As well, Ozzy Scraps Tour to seek treatment for his tremors... which, as we've all seen, have been getting pretty bad these last couple of years. Poor guy... get well soon, Ozzy!
go commies go!!!
it's funny that you commented on 2000 guitar fans and 6 of their girlfriends... when i saw vai @ the commodore in '95, it was the same thing... first time i'd ever seen a lineup for the guys' can... wish i'd have been there last night... i forgot all about that...

Meanwhile, I had moved about 30 spots closer to the urinal by time she got out, which left me with about 45 to go... THAT'S JUST NOT RIGHT!!!
