anybody see the latest volswagen commercial where there's a lead guitarist riffing away, and his electric guitar's connected to 6 vw's as an "amp?"

that guitarist is Slash, the guitarist for Guns and Roses. very good guitarist i think.

good stuff; i love "You Could Be Mine," and there's a ton of other songs i love that they have.

if i could list 5 rock bands i really liked that are from "back then:"

metallica(they've been going on a long time, but yes, their sound used to be slightly more shredding back then; Master of Puppets is a good example)
guns and roses
joe satriani
ac/dc
van halen

there's probably more; i always forget how many classic rock bands i used to listen to. these are just 5 i really liked. i don't think i ever heard steve vai.

oh yeah:

my bro loved Rush. come to think about it, i really like their song, "Tom Sawyer."

Aerosmith and KISS were good too.

good ol teen days where i would just sit around in my room listening to 92.3 FM.
