An acoustic FLAMETAL performance at a guitar company's booth. I love these guys!
Bernard Purdy. He is THE original funk drummer, with credits including Aretha Franklin (Respect) and countless others. We recently played together on a rock guitarists album.
Billy Sheehan, Ray Luzier, and Toshi rockin hard at the Coast Anahiem Hotel.
Another on of Billy's amazing solos.

My boy Joe got us up to the front. He's the best drummer with no legs ever! Shoot- he's even better than that! Great Guy.
Ray Luzier- David Lee Roths drummer. Amazing player.
Future Man Roy Wooten chillin after the gig.

Perfoming at the Nady booth with an Ozzy tribute band, led by Brad Gillis (Night Ranger) and my crazy drumming friend Atma Anur.
Brad Gillis and I tearing it up (with the WORST sound ever on a gig)
More rockin at the Nady booth
Perhaps the biggest highlight for me this weekend was the 20-min. bass duet at the Epifani/Fodera booth with yours truly and 22yr. old Felix Pastorious (Jaco's son). Amazing!
Crazy Atma again, with Peter and I.
One of the nicest, down to earth guys I've met- JD from Warrior instruments. He's making me 2 custom basses- a 4 and a 5, so look out in the next couple months!
Showing Felix the Warrior stuff.
Carzy Atma, myself and Ben Woods. Ben is an amazing flamenco player and fuses Flamenco with metal to form... FLAMETAL (dot com)!
I've been shopping for a more portable rig. Wuddya think?
Thomas, drummer for Flametal sizes up the Crate Stack. (Each of these 3 pieces goes for $10,000!)
Me with Dave from Tone Tubby, My favorite speaker company!
Someone knows how to ROCK!
These guys know how to rock too! Ira Black and Mark Z., 2 of my favorite guitarists!
Another excellent bassist. I couldn't help but op in for a duet-bass-slap-a-thon!
Dean guitars Dimebag Darryl Memorial. RIP brotha. (Ben and I listened to Pantera the whole way back!)
