Erpland is awesome!

Whoa, Passion and Warfare. I get a hangover everytime I hear it, it's one big guitar lead. I'd submit it for upload to the Moon, but I find it just outside the paramaters that I think Jim would set. It certainly is one of my favorite heavy CD's, along with Satch's "Surfing With the Alien". Stu Hamm on both ...connection here! And "Sisters" is such a nice song.

I've been looking for something to match up with "Alien" on my show, maybe this is it...

Ever hear Zappa's "Shut Up and Play Yer Guitar"? I think it's guitar solos from live tracks edited together. Now that's crazy.

There's at least three of them (Son of, Return of, etc). I remember a hilarious song called something like "The Secret Carlos Santana Chord Progression"

It is Beer Klaas, of the great Dutch band "Finch". His name is Beer, he's half-naked, and he's having a good time. I saw that picture and thought, what the hell...
