Shawn LANE is amazing. His real love is art. He collects old records (he owns more than 10000) he loves old movies, he is an amazing piano player, he can write for an orchestra, and oh yes, he blows everyone away on the guitar with his amazing technique... The guy writes catchy tunes, and I'm saddened because his latest stuff with Jonas Hellborg, aren't really my type of stuff. They just get together and write 30 minute longs tunes, on the spot... And they play it as if they had played them for 20 years...

Buckethead is quite funny, because there's great stuff in his music. I have just listened to monsters and robots (I hadn't played it for a while) and it truely unique. I love the 1st tune, where a guy just whispers over the music "I can never stop working hard, everyday I feel I have to improve" and there's this amazingly fast guitar solo at the end of the tune...that turns into a slow bass groove, to go back to the stampede like at the start of the tune. Cool...
