Green Meanie FYI

[86mod5]

In the latest edition of Guitar World, Vai is asked about the gear he used in Crossroads and mentions his "Green Meanie" for anyone who's interested.

What guitar was he using in crossroads? Is it a San Dimas or an import charvel?

Re: Green Meanie FYI

I saw the interview. Are you talking about the guitar he recorded with or the one that was on camera? The one on camera was red with black headstock. It was also funny that he had to clarify that Rlaph Machio did not really kick his ass in the guitar dual. I'm glad he cleared that one up! [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Thanks for the answer. I thought Ralph did decent enough miming for a non player. Jack Butlers gonna like you!

I've always thought that his only justified acting was when the bullies kicked his sorry-ass in Karate Kid.

I love that scene in Something About Mary where Matt Dillon is trying to impress Mary about the movies he likes and mentions Harold and Maude and the Karate Kid in the same breath. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Macchio is the only thing that ruins that movie. I thought he was a lame ass pick for Crossroads. Same era, real guitar player, could also play a kid, better actor = Michael J Fox

I know. I mean, really, the dude was like 50 years old when he did Crossroads and the Karate Kids. They could've picked a better one....
