Just as there's only so many pentatonic riffs you can cram together in 80's rock, there's only so many steps you can downtune for nu-metal. So I guess it's bound to get old sometime. But I'm enjoying it here and now.

Maybe middle eastern music will come back. That'd be cool with me.

Joseph, yeah I know Vai's got a ton of great songs, it's just that I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference because I couldn't hear the guitar. That's what sucked about it. Maybe I had just lost all ability to hear high frequencies by that point in the show. I dunno.
