"Alex Skolnick, the metal god who plays jazz"-D. Zelinsky

[1OCBR]

is this Purple Haze..????

[JJTechnologies]

Well it's either recorded that bad or it's just very bad - but I'm inclined to agree with those saying it sounds like crap

[Transamstance]

My ears began to bleed around 1:25 and my entire head exploded at 2:04...this is horrible.

[spectralglider]

i have been to namm and been to mark woods booth at namm and namm has very strict rules about volume...given the number off booths in very close proximity..so add a touch of forgiveness for that and enjoy the talent and what they are able to share...thanks TSO..

[AttilaThe1]

this sounds like somebody took the "sound "of a male cat getting his balls squeezed, then put it ( the sound the abused cat made ) in a tin can .. and slowly let the agonizing squeals escape as the lid was ground open

[IMBACHABRI]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[MrJonathan170877]

I'm a metal fan for a long time. But this sounds like shit!!!

Really annoying effects!!

[TYLERMBECKER]

Alex Skolnick!!!! Didn't realize it was him never seen him with that short of hair, but he still Kick Ass any ways!

[mullen2105]

@TYLERMBECKER holy crap it is him! haha

[jcfbell3001]

[revolt63]

thnx 4 the post !!!

[RockstarBassQueen]

I LOVE HENDRIX! PURPLE HAZE RULES!

[mullen2105]

met mark wood twice, he's amazing.

[dogboner2001]

Completely agree! Had the opportunity to work with him in '08 during his "Electrify Your Strings" clinic and performance at my son's high school. Very down to earth and related well to the target audience of school-aged orchestra students.

[chillichomper]

Flying Violin???!!! with 7 strings at that! Sheesh

[bartolemeo]

Sweet Hendrix cover....that's wonderful ;) Alex there is even better.

[christopher321]

this sounds like a cat in heat

[Dexterecus]

Fucking great jam!

[SzczepsonPepson1]

PURPLE HAZE!

[777v666]

Catchy!

[eileenrose629]

Even with bad audio they can play great!!!!! Liston to the music not the sound !!!!

[OZoneGrl]

...n00bs. :D -pokes the whiners complaining about the audio-

Don't care about the audio being bad, TSO always rocks. x)

[jpmaxtor]

the sound quality is bad but that is sweet XD

[jcksnguitars]

this recording sounds like SHIT! that or its just that bad?

[Venomboy666]

It's called audio and video compression. You should look it up one day when you're not playing World of Warcraft.

[jcksnguitars]

wtf is world of warcraft? maybe you should get some real recording equipment before you post a shitty sounding video!

[Venomboy666]

Google: video + audio compression

Take lots of data, eliminate data. Pretty basic concept, even for trolls like you.

You don't like it, don't watch it. Save drama for yo mama.

[xDanxThexManx]

lmao 'drama for yo mama'

nice one, bro

[SP1R1TCRUSH3R]

Save drama for yo mama.

ROTFL thumbs up

[plechatam]

it really does sound like crap.

[Venomboy666]

Poor babies!

[hughpearse]

hahaha world of warcraft!!

[Sachseguy07]

Those "v violins" are made by Mark Wood,

Hes the founder of them.

His title is "String Master." Cause hes that hardcore

myspace dot com/page9

=)

[jazzysaz1]

We now have 2 violins, 1 viola, and a cello in my school from marc wood now. I'm documenting the entire thing..and by some grace of god our school gave us the money for it...

yes. he invented them.

and yeah there 3grand each.

[naughty00e]

The dude playing the flying violin is the inventor, I believe.

[stockwellco]

ok alex skolnick, a slop??..and satch better than vai?? holy shit..is this the bizzaro world? ya satch is great and all..but damn..so fucking wat if he taught them..steve vai is technically wayyy better than satch..satch admits it..he learned fundamentals from satch..not talent and skill..that can't be taughtas far as skolnick goes..listen to the album 'the legacy' and say that..goddamn crazies!!!

[mabisaperv]

wow the violins are pretty sweet, but the guy playing the les pual is right slop, i feel bad for the guys on violin having to play with him

[grayfang]

violins wants to be a guitar.. this is cool

[JudasPriestfan101]

i saw those violins and they are like 7 or 6 strings also they are fretted like a guitar

[taterfamine]

OK... I've never seen a V Violin, and I play Violin!!! WTF. He must of built it...

[MindOfPagan]

LMAO are those V violins?

[naughty00e]

Don't laugh, they are 3 grand, and they don't require your chin to hold them up.

[bodom658]

lol purple haze

[IamCOOOOOOOL]

Alex Skolnick is a guitar god, no question about it. He could be better than Vai (artistically but not necessarily technically), but he's not better than Satch.

[DanoruX]

I want one of those violins so badly...

[Darren19]

skolnick is a fucking amazing guitarest

[SRMustaine]

i cnt believe skolnick joined this...

[NickMillerMI]

shame on the people who thought this sounded terrible, mark wood is great, so is skolnick (who is not the GREATEST guitarist ever) cough satriani, vai... anyways.. i just saw TSO two days ago and they rock!!

[Zabzag]

He's better than Satriani (who taught him).

I'd go as far as to say he's more dynamic than Vai too.

[schecterblackjack]

definately not better than satriani or petrucci.

[DarkVegetaman]

Alex is awesome.

[Boco8]

Their Violins are freakin' Flyin' V's!

[Touquie]

do their violins have frets? or just fret markers?

[coz3001]

awesome, I'm going to TSO this coming Wednesday in Greensboro NC, it's my 6th year in a row, best show ever

[13scott71]

indeed terrible!!!!

[MSalomon1]

Sorry people. I tried to keep an open mind while listening to clip and I just couldn't get into it. I have to agree that Skolnick is an awesome guitarist but this sounded terrible.

[nickthedrummer]

haha purple haze freakin great  i love it

[fabio73]

I agreeeeeeee

[daveii]

alex is the most talented guitarist ever

[asswithaB]

The guy playing keyboards in the back looks like my bandmate.

[GOOTENAGEN]
