I'm thinking that video is partially live with a few punch-ins after the fact. I'm assuming he did a little editing slight of hand to keep that note going longer than when he originally played it. He may have re-played that harmonic with a little bar vibrato and then did an insert edit. And yeah, that neck slide is at 0:20 is pretty egregious. Also, I'm not hearing much delay, if any. That's not a solo where you'd want a dry signal. Alex loves him some delay and reverb.

Hmmm. Yes, he does seem to keep that note ringing. Is it me, or am I hearing that note continuing to vibrato after he lets go of the bar?

The first half of that solo is a master class in combining harmonics and pinch harmonics with the tremolo bar. That opening bar dive is a bitch -- Alex is somehow able to keep the note ringing out strong while he's easing the bar back up. When I try that the note just dies.

Agreed and, as I've said many times on here, it features one of Alex's very best solos.

Seems like Holdsworth hated every piece of music from his past. I can still listen to his work on Bruford's One Of A Kind or his earlier solo records and fully enjoy his playing, but he would probably cringe at just the thought of them.

That cover should be on every top-20 worst album covers list. Good song, though -- Allan and Jeff are ripping it up.

BOO THIS MAN!

Not sure I'm sold on that lineup. What I liked about the Gillis/Watson pairing is that Gillis' frenetic whammy bar style was balanced by Watson's precise melodicism. I wouldn't mind Watson by himself but not Gillis (for instance, I didn't like Gillis when he was with Ozzy). I'll give the first couple of songs a listen.

I only have the Dawn Patrol CD. Not familiar with the above album at all. Before I listen, is it still Jeff Watson and Brad Gillis on guitars?

I wish they published the voter tallies for these HOF inductions. I'd really like to see who would vote down a slam dunk like Ichiro, and you wonder if they'd make the same down vote if they weren't anonymous. Maybe they would -- some sportswriters and movie/music critics love being seen as a contrarian because they think it makes them seem smarter than the others.

I wasn't sold on Sabathia either. He was a likeable guy and a solid pitcher who had a very good 19-year career, but for me, I'd want to see 300 wins in those 19 years to deserve a trip to the HOF, and 251 doesn't quite cut it. EDIT, Analog Cub brought up a good point about Sabathia's 3K strikeouts. I had forgotten about that. Still, not sure if 251 wins is enough for me.

Of all the baseball "hero" scenarios you daydream about as a kid, hitting a walkoff homer in your home stadium to win the Series has got to top the list, and Joe Carter got to live that. As pure a "holy shit" moment as you'll ever see in sports. Unless it happens against your team, then f*** that guy!

Yep, he said the same thing here in NY. Rush played the Nassau Coliseum on Long Island on May 20th, 1981 (Moving Pictures tour -- I was there), and it was the night after the NY Islanders beat the Minnesota North Stars for a 3 games to 1 lead in the Stanley Cup final. The Isles had won the Cup a year earlier, so they were going for their second straight at the Coliseum the night after the concert. Geddy gets on on the mic to do his welcome speech and he says, "Thank you! Nice to be back at the Coliseum on the eve of another Stanley Cup." You can guess the reaction that followed.

Me along with Frank Booth mourn Lynch's passing.

"Juuuust a bit outside." Uecker improvised that line (among others) and it became a household phrase. RIP to a baseball treasure.

My sincerest condolences, Jack. Knowing you as I do there's no doubt he was a good man who taught you well.

I wouldn't be opposed to new music from the boys. Record some stuff with a new drummer and maybe a vocalist, call it The Lee/Lifeson Project or something and put it out there, and they don't even have to do a tour to support it.

Fixed. I'm an idiot.

People listen to what he says because he knows a shit-ton about music -- music theory, stage and recording gear, music production -- and he's very good at teaching it and making it easy to understand. He's also a very good interviewer, to the point where accomplished musicians who don't normally give long-form interviews will sit down with him because they know they're not going to be asked stupid questions and they're going to be allowed to give free and detailed answers without being interrupted. He doesn't have 4.6 million subscribers because of his old-man-screaming-at-clouds shtick (which I'll admit can wear thin).

That documentary is why Beato made that video.

Donald Fagan's response on that phone call is spot on.

Gluten intolerance.

That is the greatest song (and music video) ever created by a non-human.
