@eqsmooth I thought you were referencing the fact that Gene Simmons is Jewish with the "take all your money" comment. My mistake. Jeff Beck is amazing, and I'm not quite sure why changing the subject matter from the genre that AST plays to Al's particular performance here, but you're right. Let's just leave it here.

@JaketheSnakeESP Anti-semitic? WTF? Let's leave it here. You are losing your mind. I love Skolnick, this particular performance just isn't very good. he's entitled to have a bad day and so are you. On the other hand, Jeff Beck never has a bad day. Give him a listen.

@eqsmooth So you go from being close-minded and snobbish to downright antisemitic? You don't seem to be of any worth when it comes to defending your point of view...

@JaketheSnakeESP

Keep practicing. Perhaps someday Gene Simmons will discover you and steal any money you might have left in the bank.

@eqsmooth They are "unrecognizable" because there are long passages of improvisation and rhythm alterations to the original arrangements of the songs. I'm well aware of Alex Skolnick's other musical ventures, much like most people who enjoy this project I'd assume. I know that this is obviously not from the original jazz fusion generation and the reason the "cameraman" isn't professional is because this isnt a hired cameraman, but clearly some guy just recording on his handheld camera.

@JaketheSnakeESP

Not even close to jazz fusion. He does "jazzy" versions of rock/metal songs when he is not shredding w/Testament. Sometimes his covers of classics are unrecognizable. This is not one of his better attempts and the cameraman sucks balls. What is w/the drummer? Someone one needs to fuse your skull back together. Jazz fusion was defined in the late 60s and 70's and was pioneered by Mclaughlin, DiMeola, Cobham and the like.

@c197373 considering the group is named after him, I'd be asking what he did to them, haha

[JaketheSnakeESP]

@PanosIliou It's jazz fusion... a little bit of rock combined with a little bit of jazz to make something similar, yet different. Don't be a snob...
