Ok, LOL, yeah I know what you're saying.

I used to be stuck in that genre myself. Anything that wasn't a 4/4, blues-based 80's rock song was intolerable.

Then I heard Satriani for the first time, and it just blew my mind. He sounded so different, and all his melodies and change-ups were so unexpected.

My music listening habits have never been the same since I went and picked up that copy of the Extremist.
