Eric Johnson

[Rick and Roll]

Oh that's Python. Seriously.......

Eric Johnson must not get over to Europe - I'm surprised you haven't heard him. He is technicially a wizard, but I find his music lacking in emotion and not to the standard I need to burn a hole in my wallet. Vai, Gambale, Satriani, Dimeola, Eric Gales, I really like. Johnson, McAlpine (solo), some of these other guys - let's put together some solid tunes and I'm there - not just technical wizardry.

All of that said (I hope that sheds some light on why I'm not crazy about him, Jim) - he is definitely worthy of inclusion into the AM catalog(ue). It fits, regardless of my personal preference.
