La Villa Strangiato ("Rio" Version vs. R30)
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 11:59 am
Anyone catch the differences in Alex's playing of "La Villa"on the R30 archive video and on the "Rio" performance?
The R30 archived footage shows Alex at the time of its release, playing a relatively conservative tune, staying with the album...
On "Rio", he shreds it....spicing it up with cool fills and speed...I can understand that --after playing it for YEARS, but the difference is astounding...I really dig the latter version....They did it that way at the Vapor Trails show...
The more I watch it, the more I see that Alex is NOT a conventional guitarist...He plays it HIS way, and that's what sets Lerxt aside from all the others...
Siggy
