Cool, thanks for posting that.
"What we've been doing, which is great and certainly cost saving, is I train in the sand pit in McDonald's. I do a few laps. I go through the tunnel a few times. The kids don't mind if I smoke. Plus, when I'm done, lunch is right there."- DLR 2003

I never liked Jason's soul-less, mechanical playing style and disliked his trashy Carvin sound even more than that.
He does take some creative liberties, that's a plus. However, there is no however. I don't like his playing and that's the bottome line.
I did buy the "Cacophony" tape when it came out. I loaned it out after a few listens and it never came back as it got passed around like a month-old National Enquirer with Rosie O'Donnell on the cover with a story about how fat and disgusting she is.
Pretty cool stuff...
Drop in The Bucket demo is nice...better so than whats on the album...
He butchered the Hot For teacher solo...
That sweep crap gets old just like tapping does...
I agree but I thought you were the big Yngwie fan????
It's remarkable that he learned the tunes and recorded that in a single night, if what he says is accurate. Pretty fluid and relaxed sounding. Effortless, really.
It sounds like the dbx compression of the tascam porta cassette unit.
I had one of those.
I buy the story that he did it in one night: I once went to an audition and the guy spent 3 hours smoking pot, and a half hour talking to me while duping his cassette copy of the demo he wanted me to learn.
I wasn't given the chance to listen and discuss it.. just "here ya go, gotta run, let me know"
So I wasn't surprised when I got home and it sucked.. I flipped it over and rerecorded a parody of his tune with a better solo using my Alesis HR16 drum machine, and left it on his answering machine.
I did that in an hour, programmed the drum machine with the correct verse-bridge-chorus count and my own Weird Al version of the guy's vocals with mock lyrics.
HFT could have been done in a day, what's so difficult about it especially when you'd have heard it 100 times on MTV that summer of 84, it was all over the radio, and if you was a EVH fan, you'd probably played the record a couple hundred times stealing the licks off it.
I say Becker had the song down years before he was asked for an audition tape!
Did that sound like Yngwie to you ??Originally Posted by Seshmeister
Yeah Gar, I had the Cacophony stuff as well...
What did they do, two albums ??
I only had the one, bought out of curiosity.
