that's harsh... trust me, this guy can solo, he may not do it in these songs for some reason... I don't really know why not... but, man, when he does solo, it's insane... trust me, I've heard it... maybe he only solos when he's playing live or something.. I don't know...

oh, and about the backing tracks. it's funny that you should mention that because whenever my girlfriend needs to sing a song somewhere, and she needs the backing music without any voice on it, she goes to this guy and he makes her backing tracks... lol
