CRUISE TO THE EDGE. Now with extra The Aristocrats. 😉

See you in April 2025!

ROCKING THE PRAIRIE MIDWEST: Satch-Vai tour hits Omaha tonight, then onto Salina KS, STL & KC MO. This Cleveland pic is the tour vibe (also unfortunate Rai Thistlethwayte erasure but I'll fix that in a future Rai/BB post!).

Also: big news from The Aristocrats Monday!

Thank you, Ellie 🐶, for making me feel and truly understand this joke.

This. I read all the righty thinkpieces for 12 years on limiting principles, judicial activism, all of it. After Bush vs. Gore I knew that, when it really counted, it didn't amount to shit. Just pure smokescreen ideology for operatives, one of whom ended up on the court itself.

SALES PITCH: 'You! Yes, you in the front row! What'll it take to get you into a Gallien-Krueger rig *today*?'

The Satch-Vai tour plays Springfield, MO tonight. I have been touring the United States for 25 years and I have never played here. Pretty town!

SHRED MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: At the SatchVai show in Indy, I had a special guest: Sean T at RCP.

Most of you are probably like, who? But PoliticsTwitter is gonna be like 'how the hell did *that* happen?' (attn @alexskolnick!)

VINTAGE GUITAR MAGAZINE GOES TO THE ARISTOCLUB: Check out this little video of “Aristoclub” I did for my friends at Vintage Guitar Magazine. They did an article on me for The Aristocrats’ new album DUCK in this month’s (April) issue. Thank you VGM! Vintage Guitar

HELLO MILWAUKEE: It's amazing how you can still find new and gorgeous parts of cities you've seen over and over. Locals will know where this all is. My god, the ribs at Pat's were amazing. I recommend the Mad Dog BBQ sauce.

See you tonight for a Satch-Vai show, M'waukee!

SLASH, BEAR & ME: Hard to imagine any scenario where I'm on a track w/ Slash, but thanks to Bear McCreary 🐻🎶 it's 'The End Of Tomorrow', the climactic track from his concept album 'The Singularity'. At 10mins+ long, it earns a spot in the pantheon of epic rock tunes. Check it out!

HELLO CHI-CA-GO! See you onstage in 40 minutes!

HOLDING IT DOWN: The jams with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai are getting further and further out there. We called last night's jam in Detroit 'the brown acid jam'. Who knows what will happen tomorrow night in Chicago?

Thanks to tprs.com for this incredible shot.

Woke up this mornin', found myself LeBron...

TIME KEEPS ON SLIPPIN': That's the one and only Steve Miller @smbofficial second from left. Again, this is back from the NYC gig. So many hits, but there is just no other track in the world that sounds and feels like 'Fly Like An Eagle'. What a groove and vibe. Legend.
