When Mike STERN ( a really hot jazz guitarist) was hired by Miles DAVIS (a really dead jazz trumpetist), he started playing jazz bebop lines to fit in the mold he thought he was hired for... Miles told him: 'c'mon, let it scream, all those jazz guys wish they could do it!'
Well, I know about emotions, tone and stuff, but dang, when you can rip it and shred a song to pieces, AAAAAAAAAAAArgh, it's pretty cool...
