Not sure the the difference is very big if you're a "Satriani clone", playing with Brian May and your solo style therefore is naturally way more technical. Brian is the one at fault here, hiring a guy that can play circles around him. Definitely agree Moses is a better fit.

It's pretty common knowledge Casswell was sacked. 'Upstaging' was just one of the reasons. I had known Mike for the last ten years. Him and bri were not friends.

That might explain why Dr Bri did not mention anything on his Soapbox. Although, then again, he does not necessarily report *all* deaths in the rock world.

Same here: a good friend of mine studied under Mike at ACM and remained friends with him....Mike was not averse to telling the odd story of issues with Brian.

Let's spill the dirt.

That's between Mike, Brian and the people they choose to tell I'm afraid!

Mike is also famous for its dvd's entitled "learn to play queen", volume 1 and 2
