He did this on Conan O'brien show and I've been trying to find that one ever since. I grew up on metal and hard rock...i very early learned to drop labels and not limiting myself to liking ONLY those types of music. I enjoy GOOD MUSIC. This is good music! The guitarist BLEW ME AWAY on Conan!!! He turn up a guitar solo that made me said, "Jean Claude Van Damme!!!"
Been searching for that performance ever since.
