I may have, in fact, found the loudest, most ridiculous guitar solo ever in the history of guitar-dom.
Only the monster hair bands of the 80’s could have fostered such an awesome, over-the-top guitar performance.
Your mission, as a guitarist, is to:
- Build up some AWESOME chops.
- Grow long, greasy hair that you can tease into a massive hair-helmet.
- Acquire some TIGHT black pleather pants. Extra points for shiny. Extra EXTRA points for added bulginess.
- Acquire some sort of long, open-chested coat that you can wear. Must have some sort of reflective pattern, or at least be a really LOUD color (yellow or pink come to mind). You are encouraged to show off your ‘man-muff’ of thick chest hair, which is a major contrast to your pasty-whiteness.
- Lastly, purchase an absolutely WICKED tri-necked, heart-shaped guitar. WOW.
Yes, this may be one of the longest, but I have a suggestion for you. Before I get to that just know that I saw Mr. Vai at least two times – LIVE. And another time with David Lee Roth back in the 80’s! AWESOME!!! I will defend the artistic community by mentioning that they have never been known for there fashion sense or wonderful grooming. Now – check out this tasty morsel.

One Yngwie Malmsteen. Enjoy.
Uncle Steve
Quite possibly the most over the top . . . group effort.

This takes a while, but you will not be able to stop watching it. I know I can’t. In fact – I purchased the original VHS tape back when it was originally produced.
Again – enjoy.
Here is the final song/video.

We Are all stars, aren’t we?
