Berenice, there's no release at all that's not worth dying for

True story, swear to God -  I had written a long ass post about guitar heroes/ gods/ whatever and just before I pressed publish one of my cats ran over my keyboard and something happened that deleted all I'd written and fucking 'undo' was undoing fucking nothing. Shit. Abridged version it is, then.

Day 135 -  Joe Satriani - 'Surfing With The Alien'
Easy 9/10

Day 136 - Steve Vai - 'Passion And Warfare'
Looking good so far, another 9/10

Day 137 - Yngwie J. Malmsteen's Rising Force - 'Rising Force'
Didn't love it as much as the other two but still pretty great 8/10

Day 138 - Liquid Tension Experiment - 'Liquid Tension Experiment'
Streak continues, 8/10

Day 139 - Santana - 'Abraxas'
Eh... didn't really like it, and that's ok. I'll give it a 5/10

Day 139 - Cacophony - 'Go Off!'
A two-fer, as you get both Marty Friedman and Jason Becker here. But the singer's voice ruins it for me. It's a 5/10 just because of some of the instrumental bits.

Day 140 - Gary Moore - 'Still Got The Blues'
I don't like blues. Never have, never will. The playing is great, but I just can't really enjoy this. A generous 5/10

Maybe some more guitar shit next week. Either that or bands from a genre I've never listened to - Djent. Which will be, in essence, more guitar shit. Oh well.
