Very simple... I emailed Brian when news about the musical first hit the media, and told him I knew my stuff. He got back to me, and said he'd make sure I got an audition. I'm honestly surprised that I'm the only person who got an audition like this.

Well, that is great! Good luck!
Thanks Jasen! Is there any chance you could make the trip to see a show?
I will definately like to come out and see it...i used to live in Toronto for a year...(lived on Bloor and Spadina) will have to make it out and see it this spring or summer.

How many here are planning to see Bob on opening night? Is anybody from the DC/Baltimore area? Do Americans need a passport to enter Canada?

The laws are starting to get strict. I can almost guarantee that you will need one to return to the USA.

Just curious what you meant by this ? Do you mean to say that EVH doesn't read music ?
Wasn't he also a classically trained pianist ??

I'm planning to go opening night. Don't have a ticket yet though, but I'll be there for sure.
If we get enough people here can we get a group discount?

If he's driving he won't need a passport to reenter the United States but if he's flying he cannot reenter the USA without a passport. A passport is a good thing to have if you're going to cross an international border.

EVH says he doesn't know much musical theory, but I take comments like that with a pinch of salt. It all depends on how much theory you use, and how important you think it is. When he plays a G chord, I'm sure he thinks of it as G, and not 320033 in tab. And I'm sure he knows where his notes are on his neck. I count that as knowing theory.
Someone once told me Steve Howe from Yes doesn't know his theory, either. That I find hard to believe. He's clearly a very well-trained musician who usually does things with a very classical approach. But hey, you never know...
Your thoughts?

Sorry, i´ve missed this.
When i asked SirGH about music theory i was talking about reading music from paper like classical musicians and i think the answers i got were in respect to this.
Of course VAn HAlen and Malmsteen know their theory and malmesteen can improvise, but they can´t read.
Van HAlen was indeed classical trained pianist and won two competitions as a pianist, but he stated that he wasn´t reading the papers. He just listen to his teacher playing the songs and then figure out howe to achieve it!
He said it was an interesting result ; )
Now, with an effort he could read but it would take him some time to figure out the song. I think you need to have more training before you can say you read music.
On the other hand he has developed a great ear.
Take care
