It's difficult to compare, but for the money...I definitely prefer Buck
live. My fondest concert memory is watching Buck play Last Days of May.
The man was in a zone. So was I.

The last few digests have seen a bunch of band names fly by:

Steve Stevens and Atomic Playboys:  I have this album. The one song that
strikes my memory is the instrumental piece ("Desert Running"???) in
which Stevens plucks the hell out of an acoustic, while keeping a nice rhythm.

Queensryche: Operation: Mindcrime is awesome. One of the few times an
thematic album worked for me (Sorry, the theme of Imaginos didn't hook
me, just the music). The Warning and their first EP are also very fine.

Death Angel:   Did somebody post about Act III from Death Angel? They are
one of my favorites. Have you checked out their new stuff as The
Organization? Very much like Act III.

This is enough rambling
