Thanks, EB. Nice to see others that recognize good tunes. You have any opinions on Schon's solo stuff?

It's ok. It has its moments. In general, I like lead breaks over instrumentals. There's just something about the extra context that brings out the lead and punches you in the face with it.
The thing Schon has that nobody can really touch is his melodic sense. He can inject the simplest little sequences, but they're just so damn RIGHT. That's the stuff the greats are born with. Of course he has the fire, chops, and deep rhythmic pocket as well. Maybe the most well-rounded rock player ever.
Check out Doug Aldrich's work for more in the sort of vein you're into. Very tasty stuff.
