Sounds Like
What if you took Steve Vai, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, old Genesis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nirvana, Black Sabbath and Kelly Clarkson, rolled them into a joint, smoked them and then did a shot of Patron??? You'd KINDA get the Alien, but then again, nobody gets the Alien, he's too f*&%ed up... Uranus is a crazy place...
The Furious Guitar was recorded for one reason only... To rearrange the status quo landscape of the last decade of rock and roll. "I am f*&%ing bored to f*&%ing tears by today's bands," is a Mike E.T. quote.
Michael Trapp (a.k.a. Mike E.T., a.k.a. Captain Freak, a.k.a The Alien) came to this planet in the year of our lord 2004 from the planet Uranus (hee hee, he said Your Anus!) to write and record the semi-literate yet non-sensical Furious Guitar CD. An overblown, overplayed, too many notes monstrosity of mind numbing proportions The Alien recorded a bloated work of such pomposity even George Bush thinks it sucks. And believe me, when George Bush thinks something sucks, it must really suck! OKOK, no more political commentary, just listen to the silky, scintillating, seductive, suicidal, sonorous, sweaty strains (these are words with an S this time!) of the Furious Guitar and let the guitar mastery of the Alien brainwash you into thinking that American Idol is a worthwile and highly entertaining show. Even Simon Cowell enjoys an Alien tune now and again so America, sit back with a bottle of Jack Daniels, a spliff the size of Texas and just f*&%ing enjoy the music...
Alien Mike music is being used in a soon to be released indie film, "Divine Unrest." Check it out at http://www.divineunrest.com
