Originally, this CD was going to be called "Guitars SUCK"

A quirky mix of instrumental guitar music and hard rock, a la Chili Peppers, Zappa, Hendrix and Mr. Bungle - guest guitarists include Mattias Eklundh and Dweezil Zappa - 100% of the profits donated to disaster relief organizations.

After the tragedies of September 11th, there was no question but to dedicate this CD to the incomparable honor, courage, and bravery of all those who gave their lives to save others, to the memory of all those no longer with us, to the comfort and healing of those suffering with personal losses. And also to commemorate the unbreakable goodness of the human spirit. In times of tragedy, we join together and are there for each other. Nothing can destroy the collective human spirit - those who try only make it stronger.

Reviews:


"...more experimental than Hands, with most of the tracks being instrumentals. Bumblefoot is easily the most unheralded guitarist out there. What he does is beyond amazing and needs to be heard to be believed...you WILL be blown away by what you hear."
- Rock And A Hard Place

"If you're into pumping and hard-slamming axe with killer solos laced throughout, you'll love this release."
- John W. Patterson / All About Jazz

"Nothing on this record is a cliché or formula; Bumblefoot's arrangements, melodies and guitar playing are remarkably inventive and exciting, and never suffer from showoffitis even at their most insane"
- Rog Billery-Mosier / Satan Stole My Teddy Bear

"Bumblefoot's amazing technique & fretless guitar playing make the album worthwhile to guitar fans of all varieties, but more importantly, the innovative songs and sheer amount of emotion put into the work is more than enough to make me rank the CD as something all music fans should look into."
- Eric Rasmussen / Starvox

"Bumblefoot is not just another extremely technically proficient guitarist. His eclectic style, combining metal, jazz, classical, & funk is at its best on this album. If you appreciate top notch musicianship, but are tired of hearing groups that all sound the same, get this CD!"
- Gianmarc Johns

"One of the true geniuses of the electric guitar. How one piece of reflective plastic can encompass so many different styles of music and yet stay true to that good old BBF originality amazes me every time."
- James Went

"Proof that modern music can be original and intelligent AND still be fun to listen to."
- Sam
