Red Hot Chili Peppers and Chickenfoot skinbeater Chad Smith has announced that a new album by his other band, the Bombastic Meatbats, entitled More Meat, will be released on 19 October. Which leads us to ask the burning question: Where does he find the time?
After all, it was only last year, during the midst of a Chickenfoot tour and the planning stages of the next Chili Peppers album, that the jazz-funk fusion-y Bombastic Meatbats (which also includes keyboardist Ed Roth, guitarist Jeff Kollman and bassist Kevin Chown), released their debut album, Meet The Meatbats.
Somehow they fit recording sessions into their schedules, and as Smith says of the new disc, "More Meat is just that... it has much more music on the bone. We stretched out more, the playing is tighter, and there's a more improved recorded sound, haha!"

Artist: Buckethead
Album: In The Search Of ...
Year: 2007
Genre: Guitar Instrumental, Guitar Virtuoso, Avant-Garde
Format: 320 kbps mp3
NOTE:13 CD (see details)
In Search of The is a set of thirteen albums by Buckethead, released on February 21, 2007. Each was initially personally numbered and monogrammed by Buckethead himself. No two sets were the same, as the covers were hand-drawn and unique from one another. It is considered a special release, making it the first of Buckethead's albums to be referred to as such.
According to Travis Dickerson:
“ ...this is not a regular CD. It's hand made, hand burned. The cover is whatever is deemed to be written on it. This is not a manufactured deal, each one is different and will be numbered and monogramed. No two of these will be the same. I have never heard of an artist doing something like this. This is as direct from the artist to the fan as I have ever heard of.
As far as the content, I don't know, but the mystery around it is no surprise. Again, I can't speculate because I don't want to mislead anyone, I just don't know anymore. My gut sense is this is a conceptual work, a piece of art. It could contain anything.”
The original box set could be purchased as either a box set or separately. There seems to be no underlying theme or thread to the songs on the separate discs, and they feature many different and diverse styles of music. In addition, each song stands alone; none of the tracks fade into each other. The set also lacks any type of track listing as all the songs are untitled, however, unofficial track names have been assigned by fans of Buckethead which are known to reflect his personality and his previous work. As such, references to past material are present. There is a total of 92 songs in the set ranging in lengths from 0:33 to 19:45, not including "Vol. 13: E" which is one unbroken 45-minute track, which has the drum beat from the song "They're coming to take me away".
Buckethead drew the covers on each set of In Search of The until he reached the 999th copy. All further copies available are no longer hand-made and feature the same artwork from set to set.
There are no credits to the set's name, so the all of the music on the set was most likely performed solely by Buckethead; however, this has not yet been confirmed.

What we have here is a selection of Vivaldi's works for mandolin (the Double Concerto, RV532) and lute (Concerto, RV93 and Trios, RV82 and 85), all played on the guitar; sandwiched among them are the Concerto for two violins, RV524 and the solitary one for two cellos, RV531, the former with no other current recording.
The best LP version of the lute works played on the designated instrument remains that of Lindberg on BIS (LP290, 9/85) but if the guitar is accepted as a substitute (which it commonly is) then Sollscher takes a clear lead. As he is no biological 'sport' he has resorted to double-tracking in RV532 (and he couldn't find a better partner). Not only does he play with refinement and sensitivity, he also embellishes the repeats very elegantly—and not just by throwing in a few ornaments. The same is to be said of the soloists (Karen Turple and Patrick Genet) in RV524, whose vibrato is occasionally a little intense—but never objectionably so. The cellists (Thomas Demenga and Regula Hausler) are far more cautious in the Largo of RV531 but, avoiding any heaviness of tone or attack, produce the best-yet recording of the work on non-period instruments.
Of Berne Camerata one can write only appreciatively: they play with the utmost clarity, precision and life, and the recorded balance with the soloists is all one might ask. Tempos are well chosen, with the exception of RV93, the first movement of which is taken very briskly indeed. The recording, aided by a good acoustic, is crisply clear.

Major Impacts is a new collection of original compositions inspired by the musicians who most influenced Steve Morse. You'll find all instrumental tunage inspired by impact bands and players such as Cream, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, The Byrds, Jimmy Page, John McLaughlin, The Rolling Stones, Mountain, Eric Johnson, Alex Lifeson, George Harrison, The Allman Brothers Band, Kansas and Yes. Morse states, "The challenges were there - like trying to give the impression of a guitarist in a vocal band with an original piece of music that doesn't use lyrics. And what are the components of a style? How to reflect those without actually repeating myself? The solution was to use familiar tempos, phrasing, instrumentation, and reminiscent themes that would be literally original but obviously intended to imitate. If part of Major Impacts reminds you of another tune, you can be pretty sure that it was intended. I hope you enjoy it."

SKY OF AVALON is the name of U.J.R.’s most mystical, most encompassing artistic concept. Central to the idea of S.O.A. is an essentially spiritual as well as metaphysical framework which is built around a storyline called “SOLDIERS OF GRACE”.
Apart from distinct Arthurian overtones, the main idea is centred around the ongoing search for the “Holy Grail Of Conscience”.
The main protagonists of the story are an ancient race of chosen ones from various regions of outer space - they are known as “The Knights Of The Deep”. "Destiny" has decided to send some of the knights to Planet Earth in order to help guide its inhabitants and try to prevent their self-destruction. In order to accomplish this mission the knights have to partake in the human experience with all its trials and tribulations, because the law of the Universe would not allow any other form of intervention. This quest, which leads them through many different timeframes and incarnations, must eventually lead them to find the Grail of Conscience and to help piece it together again - if they fail, Mankind will be doomed...
The musical core of Sky Of Avalon is represented by the cycle of SYMPHONIC LEGENDS. This genre was created by Uli Jon Roth and is a very novel concept in the history of music. Essentially symphonic at heart, each of the Symphonic Legends is at the same time a symphony, but one with a difference;
U.J.R. merges his favourite musical forms into a new “super-form.” In classical music there are usually rather strict demarcation lines between various forms and genres; e.g.: there are symphonies. concertos, operas, oratorios, songs, chamber music and other variations. Between these there is usually very little crossing over. Uli has taken the revolutionary step to freely melt all these elements down and reassemble them in a distinctly new manner with very exciting and inspiring results.
The Symphonic Legends are at the same time Symphonies, Concertos, Operas and Oratorios, as well as platforms for Song. Extreme lyricism and romantic melodies are side by side with more purely classical ones as well as those born out of rock. Flashes of Sky Guitar virtuosity and of the Sky Orchestra are side by side with moments of magical tranquillity.
This music is also extremely visual by nature and emotionally touching. Whenever the visual aspect is pointed out to him, Uli always answers that he can see the music like a movie in cinemascope in his mind when writing it. Many people have a similar experience when listening to the music of Sky Of Avalon.
One of the outstanding trademarks of the Symphonic Legends are that they are featuring a wide range of outstanding vocalists - both from rock and classical backgrounds performed together with Sky Orchestra and Uli’s beautifully soaring Sky Guitar leads.

Austin, TX-based guitar hero Eric Johnson is recognized as a perfectionist. He takes great care honing his sound. Along with that, the artist doesn't rush his album releases, as this outing signifies previously undocumented material spanning 25 years. Johnson's intent here is to provide his fans with an album available solely through his website. The artist states in the liners: "The thought came up of having occasional Internet releases. They would be issued as an interim series between regular studio releases." To that end, these tracks are surprisingly good, especially when considering that the bulk of this archival material consists of demos, incomplete ideas, and so forth. The majority of this affair highlights the guitarist's understated vocals atop his soaring lead lines and much more. On the piece titled "Space of Clouds," Johnson minces softly stated vocals with a Hendrix-like wailing guitar motif and his nimbly articulated fretwork. Johnson provides a narrative on a per track basis, and in this instance, added a synth overlay specifically for this album. Other highlights include the band's rocking version of the Beatles' "Paperback Writer," complete with Johnson's phased electric guitar choruses. The guitarist's longtime bandmates, bassist Chris Maresh and drummer Tommy Taylor, appear on most of these works, consisting of warm ballads, boogie rockers, and a memorably melodic pop/rock work titled "Virginia." Overall, this production transcends any preconceived expectations. Recommended.
Originally Release '02. A collection of rare material spanning 25 years. Previously Only available through his website, mostly deleted elsewhere. 12 trax.

It's no secret that the time gap between albums by guitarist Eric Johnson is on par with such notorious 'hibernators' as Boston. And the arrival of his fourth all-new studio release, Bloom, was no different, as it appeared nearly nine years after the release of 1996's Venus Isle. Whereas most guitar heroes of the late '80s and early '90s were all about reeling off a zillion notes per second, Johnson was the exception, as he penned songs that saw his guitar supplying the melody where a voice could have been. This 16-track release (his second for Steve Vai's Favored Nations label) is split into three separate sections -- 'Prelude,' 'Courante,' and 'Allemande' -- which are supposedly "grouped together in terms of vibe and style." Highlights include "Summer Jam" (which does a splendid job of showcasing his guitar tone), the chicken'-pickin' ditty "Tribute to Jerry Reed," and the almost Steely Dan-esque "Magnetized." If you like your sounds raw and gritty and music off-the-cuff, Bloom isn't the place for you. But for die-hard fans, Johnson delivers once more, as all his trademarks are well represented -- chops, tone, and extremely fluid playing.

Paul Gilbert gets out his acoustic guitar and performs live at Tokyo's Hard Rock Cafe on ACOUSTIC SAMURAI. Among the 16 tracks are "Potato Head" and "I Like Rock".
So we all know that
Paul Gilbert is certainly fleet fingered on the electric guitar. But what about on the acoustic? Despite being long considered one of rock's top shredders (just check out his faster-than-a-speeding-bullet work with Racer X), interestingly, it was a schmaltzy acoustic ballad that served as Gilbert's career breakthrough -- Mr. Big's "To Be with You." And on his 2003 release, Acoustic Samurai, Gilbert picks up the acoustic once more. Recorded live at Tokyo's Hard Rock Café, the 16-track set finds Gilbert in a largely goofy mood, as evidenced by the album's opening -- the nonsensical singalong "Potato Head," a cover of ABBA's "Dancing Queen," and "I Like Rock" (just by looking at the latter's title, you know its lyrics won't be confused with Shakespeare anytime soon). Quirky pop continues throughout -- as evidenced by such lighthearted ditties as "I Am Satan" and "I'm Not Afraid of the Police." While it was undoubtedly fun for Gilbert to get all this goofiness out of his system (and it sounds like the constantly clapping/singing audience is having the time of their lives), Acoustic Samurai is for hardcore fanatics only.
