"Frankly, i wasn't a huge manson fan, perhaps it was his die hard fans and their average age of 15 and little in the way of musical diversity, however the man wrote great rock, but manson isnt the one im reviewing.

John 5 is hyped, but in the wrong direction certain reviewers, giving scores of 1 or 0 claim that he is all hyper and playing with manson in makeup built him up. But then, John Lowery is a respected player Vai himself said that the new album showed origionality and creativity, Les Paul (heard of him guys?) having heard Lowery play urged him to release a solo effort, and he did.

I own satrianis surfing with the alien and crystal planet, and have heard some of his best tracks, the same goes for vai, owning flex-able flex-able leftovers (all fancy techniques and flash, i thought someone said that about john, but leftovers really was scraping the bucket) passion and warfare and the ultra zone, yet vai never gained the popularity manson did, perhaps due to image.

In relation to the person who said lowerys record label was poor and that he should have given up, Andy timmons, an amazing player, still only plays on vais favoured nations label, a label so small the cd that was then this is now, is nearly impossible to find in stores, also, if lowery is so washed up why is it that hes playing for rob zombie on tour, or that, due to his "poor tone" he has previously played for david lee roth and rob halford, and, wait who else played for lee roth.. oh yeh, vai.

Frankly, i like Vai and Satriani, but! their records are samey, i welcome country techniques seen in john 5s playing, chicken pickin' right through to banjo rolls, infact, i challenge those downraters to actually play zugg island conflict or sugar foot rag to the level that john 5 can, amazing record, good technique, a breath of fresh air from the usual overinflated shred scene"
