    Well alot of the well known "shredders" tried to switch gears when everyone didn't care about it anymore. Could you imagine making a living by busting your ass to become good as humnaly possible..then suddenly (grunge) nobody cares. But music is your bread and butter..therefore you try to do what is popular and it just fails. That has to suck.

    I just watched from the sidelines and it sucked.
    Rivers Cuomo of Weezer went from shred to ... well, Weezer! And Tony Fredianelli went from Apocrypha to Third Eye Blind and then Ashlee Simpson!

    But they'll pay ya for it, what the fuck....
    Ron is the MAN!!!!

      RICH!!! I was going to mention Apocrypha to Jackson Shreds..he would love them!!!

      I burned "The Forgotten Scroll" for Glen Drover when it was going for about $200 on Ebay before they re-issued it. But yeah man..you're absolutely right!!!

              He probably prefers that to working as an accountant or whatever....

              It doesn't bother me that much anymore because I read Al DiMeola say basically the same thing in an interview in the mid-70s; the better you are musically, the less money you usually make in the realm of popular music. The 3-chord wonders make the money.

              So Tony is basically scaling back to simple stuff in order to make a decent living. I'm sure he still burns it up at home or on his own time. He just can't get paid for it, sadly....

                Yeah, not even shredders and metalheads know that much about Apocrypha. Everyone knows who Third Eye Blind is..even tho I couldn't name you a single song of theirs. But I'm sure I know a popular one if I heard it..and go, ..Oh, is that them?

                Actually Curt Cobain gave lessons to John Petrucci before Nirvana became huge. Taught him everything he knows..

                  Is that why John is so boring?

                    YES!

                    John Petrucci can play at 400 BPM and say absolutely nothing.

                          Are you making dead jokes about Kurt Cobain?

McDonalds delivers that. At least they weren't throwing back flapjacks at the Denny's across the street.

                                I know them! The singer was the guy who replaced Mark Wahlberg in Steel Dragon!

                                And they had that one song - doesn't it go doo doo doo.. doo do do doo. doo doo doo, etc.?

                                Apocrypha was some good shit.
