Al Di Meola - Race with the Devil on Spanish Highway free for downloading

this reminds me SO MUCH of Liquid Tension Experiment

What Santana would sound like if he would practice.

So this is where Liquid Tension Experiment "stole/borrowed" one of the riffs from acid rain from haha xD 

What pisses me off is that Yngwie Malmsteen cites RItchie Blackmore and Hendrix as influences, but not Di Meola, Holdsworth, and Uli Jon Roth. The least he can do is take his head out of his ass for a second and mention them, because if it wasn't for them he would still be playing the blues

Is there a speed limit on the Spanish highway? Cause I'm pretty sure Al just broke it.

That's one sweet sounding Les Paul, sustain is incredible. I wish I could play that run at 2:53. Kind of chaotic sounding. I hear Zack Wilde do it sometimes.

The pianist/organist and guitar duo is always so cool. Also worked in deep purple and focus

The bassist is laying it down. His tone is insane!

The guy is utterly badass on so many levels. Great playing, excellent backing band too.

When i hear this tune, i picture a 70's police chase, with unmarked police cars flying down the streets of San Francisco , with the light siren on the roof f the car..

This gentleman is THE Godfather of all shred, neoclassical, etc. "rock fusion", guitar.  I can hear Yngwie, MacAlpine, Gilbert, Moore, etc. in just this one track alone.  Al was truly an innovator and a giant technical monster for his time (and even into today).  He's one of my all time favorites and still one of THE BEST guitarists on the planet IMO.

The whole Elegant Gypsy album was just sick

... another great is "Alien Chase on Arabian Desert"...
