spiral light Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 First off, I am not a great fan of Steve Vai, but credit where credit is due, he can play. If anyone is interested in one of his more eclectic sessions then they should check out Compact Disk by Public Image Limited (when Johnny Rotten became John Lydon after the 'Pistols broke up). Not only does it have Steve Vai on guitar (strangely enough his style fits in well in this case) it includes Ginger Baker, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Jonas Hellasborg & Bill Laswell. Very interesting results... www.windhamhill.com - Shameless Advertising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmo115 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I haven't heard that CD since it came out almost 20 years ago (I believe), but from what I recall, his playing was good on the PIL CD, it's too bad the singing made it unbearable for me to listen to with any regularity.

LMAO!!!!! http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/23/23_4_134.gif Actually, Ronald had a very good voice when he wasn't trying to be Geoff Tate. Plus although he did not play guitar with our band, since I was always a lone wolf , he was an absolutely amazing guitarist and an excellent songwriter, which you couldn't tell by the "Child of Evil" lyrics I can appreciate what it takes to do all different types of music, but Johnny Rotten never did anything for me. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/1/1_4_45.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

musicalhair Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 I have the cassette version, which they called "Cassette". That is a great great record. To me it features great Vai playing over some pretty good songs and Johnny Rotten has a way of delivering a line is pretty cool. It was one of my first big extended exposures to Vai's playing. The song "Ease" is classic, or Rise which is about a guy after a lobotomy saying "May the Road Rise With You". Really, unless you're really irratated by Rotten's voice (I'm not, I think he's an original), I think most will find it a a great record with maybe only one "bad" tune on it that I never really got used to called "bags". check out some comedy I've done: http://louhasspoken.tumblr.com/ My Unitarian Jihad Name: Brother Broadsword of Enlightened Compassion.

musicalhair Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hey Cosmo, I don't get it-- but I'm dense. I only had a cassette player at the time and was still pissed that all my 8-tracks were now obsolete. It took me many years to buy a CD player of any kind. check out some comedy I've done: http://louhasspoken.tumblr.com/ My Unitarian Jihad Name: Brother Broadsword of Enlightened Compassion.

cosmo115 Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 What I meant was, if it is "that" good, why didn't you rush out to get it on CD to replace the cassette. For example: I had Yngwie's Rising Force on vinyl, but the day it came out on CD, I was there waiting for it. Another poor attempt at humor......Sorry....

musicalhair Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 Cool man, don't sweat it. Jokes are always in the delivery and the internet don't let you "deliver" a joke the right way-- yeah thats it. I may go out and by the disk now as I've been reminded of it. check out some comedy I've done: http://louhasspoken.tumblr.com/ My Unitarian Jihad Name: Brother Broadsword of Enlightened Compassion.
