I can see the Malmsteen thing falling apart. There is not much lead guitar on Strange Dreams,lol.

Can't wait to hear the tribute !! Sounds like a fun project, but lots of hard work as well. Great job !!

I hope this gets rave reviews and huge sales. I'd like to see a sequel. I mean, there are lots of great Frank songs...LOTS.

My only regret is that Joe Bonamassa isn't on this one. He's a huge fan and, IMHO, pays tribute to the early Marino style in his own way. Maybe most people don't hear it, but being a guitar player, you can tell when somebody's been listening to Frank's stuff...and learning it. I really think that Joe would agree to do a song, too. Heck, he'd probably do it for five bucks and an autograph !!

Did any of these artists totally rearrange the original version ? Or are they all just note to note covers ?

Take for example Sheryl Crow. At first I thought her version of Sweet Child of Mine was just awful, but nowadays I like it better than the original Guns 'N' Roses version.

ZoSo Cheryl's looks are affecting your thinking man lol!!!!!

No no, I really like the soothing atmostphere of Sheryl's version.

On the other hand I love Slash's solo in the original version though...

They all did their own versions. I think only one is "note for note".

Ah, sounds much better already !

Are there any really "strange" versions ? Like reggae/ska version of Poppy ? That would be hilarious... :mrgreen: With horns... OMG... I can picture it already in my head... Someone teach me to play some friggin' instrument phhhleeeease....

Dear Willy,
You really are "WILD",you have done so much,just because you care!
thank you,JIMMY .,......

Is this thing any closer to being released?

Ya know who you could maybe get to do a song if another one of these is done...Micheal Fath. He's a great fusion/jazz guitarist from Northern VA.
