Keith Watanabe * NET 2.0

i just got a copy of the song for "Rockin' in the Free World" by these guys. Malmsteen, Vai, and Satriani. Wow! If anyone asked me to name the three gods of guitar, well there you go! And on the same stage at the same time! Just fucking brilliant! Some call them wankers. I asked myself whether the hand of god reached down and magically pulled them together at the same time, because it definitely is a phenemenon! There's a jam session with this unfucking believable tapping moment that is some of the most amazing guitar work i've ever heard. Malmsteen is as sharp as ever with his blazing linear scales and arpeggios while Satriani slaughters you with screaming string bends and stunning taps. And Vai is just Vai no matter what you can do; his voice on guitar is so strong that you can identify his playing with just a single note. He doesn't have to keep up in speed, but can. He doesn't have to pull off a million tricks, but can. But what he manages to do is pull his personality into his playing no matter what. All three are like that in fact here and it's just amazing that they got the opportunity to colloborate for this event.
