Seems like a pretty epic life to me, even if they do have to play at the local county fair now...

Yeah, aren't you up in Northern CA? You have all the fairs, Stockton, Pleasanton, Vallejo, Santa Rosa, San Mateo, Ferndale, Sacramento..............Le Gusta?

Yes, but I don't go to any of them.

kinda sad

Ya know, even though they are playing crappy venues I joked about since their heyday, I don't that's sad at all. The kinda fame they had is pretty elusive and rarely has longevity. Look... they're still playing and writing and whether we like the new stuff or not, they are doing what THEY want to do. If they didn't waste it all stupidly, they've all prolly got a little bank to retire on eventually. Seems like a pretty epic life to me, even if they do have to play at the local county fair now...

oh yeah for sure. I admire that as what true artists do to sustain. What i meant was sad in terms of the mainstream changes and fan base, awareness. The fact that some of my favorite guitarists used play in Arena's in the day and now play small venues for me personally has been a dream come true cause I 've had the honor to meet guys like Yngwie, Schenker, U Roth, S. Vai, Satch, Eric Johnson, Warren D, Blackmore ( well i shook his hand thats all ; ) and even see sound checks where back then you couldnt get near em...I find the smaller venues actually more intimate too.
