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.Comment

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."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.

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!Comment
