I agree, MAB is one of the silliest looking guys on the planet :p I honestly think he would be more successful if he took a leaf out of Vai and Satch's book and changed his appearance on each cd... that and maybe put some thought into creating more tracks like No Boundaries and Rain Forest etc. Originality is his problem, techinicaly he is fawless and he knows all there is to know about theory (has a degree in music theory). Still though, I think he explains things very well and doesnt come across too bad... apart from the hair! If he lived in Dublin I would definitly go out of my way to take lessons from him.
