He's for sure getting some "studio assist" there but yeah, his tone is still there and live, he can still do it which is impressive. Guy must have really taken care of himself.

" Hey Teemu, listen to highspeed dirt and then play something that Marty would ok?" Cheesy lyrics and likely an AI performance using his voice but there are some really good musical parts throughout at least ( thanks to Teemu)

100%. If you want to see how you will sound with the mod, step on a wah and dial your tone pot back a bit to where it is still a bit squawky. Sweet Child O Mine riff sounds really great on the neck pup because of all that cut.

I will probably pick one up but the mod I tried on one of my amps was hella bright. Same with the 34. It's awesome and does that thing but then when you realize it is just that ONE thing and you aren't recording... it's not something I wanted to play everyday. Sounds great though and no...

Yes that right there is a mic drop. Brilliant phrasing, so clean, barely any gain. He was something special. I still think je was the next great one right after evh

I had zero interest in toneX but this makes it tempting because it is so damn easy. They've definitely figured out the model. It also sounds great. Add capturing your own setups and it is a no brainer for gigs, sessions, or demo tracks.

I see what they are saying when it comes to the early work. The live Alcatrazz stuff on youtube is pretty incredible in terms of him seemingly playing with less gain than the later stuff but really digging in and being incredibly precise.

More kicks and more picks!

I really don't get your guy's love for Fire and Ice. Huge let down for me on it compared to Eclipse where he was dialed in on the 3 string arpeggio breaks. Also, the standout lead part in Fire and Ice is a rip off of Jet to Jet so he repeated himself. Eclipse for me is the top and end of the...

That's true, Odyssey is totally going for songs with hooks and radio time. Probably got him closest to that goal on that one. But he still played too much on Odyssey for the babes :D.

I understand the chorus on Odyssey isn't for everyone but man, the songs are great on that one! Maybe less impressive lead wise ( though Rising Force come on, easily one of his most iconic lead breaks) but I love the songs. Then follow that up with Eclipse and I've jizzed my pants. I think maybe...

I heard the band members themselves referring to themselves as Lynch Mob so sorry George, it's never changing.

I wouldn't say best if you are saying Alcatrazz was well above Rising Force and Marching Out. I say they are all on par lead wise. But for sure Steeler fits in with it's time. YJM is simply awesome no matter how you put it. The nickname "Maestro" fits.

How about the fact the Yngwie is clearly on Ozempic? Dude has gone to skinny body, big hands, big head. Hope this does not affect his fury? At this point, not sure much can. That guy knows one speed... overdrive. Good time for this mess of a song ( with drum machine and some cool parts)

I don't know, that sounds pretty badass to me. Why mess with a recipe that works?
