Good to see Stuart Hamm get a mention.

Billy Sheehan all the way with me but I do not like how he fucked Dave
by quiting the EEAS band. The way he did it was not in class. He didnt even stay for the tour. I guess he got some of what he dished out. Mr Big fired him.

And it was his band. LOL fuckinn LOL

Isn't Stu Hamm the bassist of Joe Satriani? If so, I think I have his debut solo "radio free albumeth" or whatever from ('88).
