~ L@@K at this Charvel that Vai played in Alcatrazz ~

[xenophobe]

Is that an Alcatrazz Malmsteen-era tune? Sounded like Vai was burning some YJM licks in there.

That's almost blasphemous...

Yes.

If you don't own Alcatrazz No Parole From Rock & Roll or Live Sentence, you're WRONG! Live Sentence has to be one of the best live albums ever created.

Interesting thing about that video... the strat Yngwie's using in that video doesn't have a scalloped fretboard.

...Which I guess is why he chose to destroy it!

The vocals on that video were much better - getting away from Graham was a good thing.

Ritchie's playing still is awsome to me even after hearing all the shredders that came after

Alcatrazz/YJM/Rainbow have a lot in common and the fact that WingWay was a huge Ritchie fan...

And Straight/Live Between the Eyes was an awesome tour!

My friend had his school pix taken with an Alactrazz "NO Parole" shirt in 6th grade.
