agh you finally got it!
i could see the cornell comparison there straight away ( a positive BTW) but with summergirl did not jeff buckley come back from his watery grave? he has his own voice and style however and hearing him got my excited for alter bridge. mark writing that great music and those solos, the rythmn section of brian and flip and myles the cream on the strawberries how good is it going to be?
he's a good lead guitarist as well playing all the guitar in that album, that solo in believe is hella good! a greater number and more complex solos (thats where mark comes in) and alter bridge will rock! zia uddin their drummer is also badarse!
