However, I am now at the point where I realize there is no way to get you to see what I am trying to get you to see in their aesthetic. Lightning Bolt's audience is not comprised of people who listen to Steve Vai records; they have turned the whole notion of "virtuosity" on its ear. I cannot make you see this, so I'll stop here.
Feel free not to like them, and feel free to continue to be oblivious to their whole aesthetic.
Gorilla? What gorilla?
I cannot make you see the gorilla, and I tried as best I could.

Haha. I'm not saying that they are loved by Vai fans. I get that they are using the Vai formula and "turning it on its head." That just doesn't work. It's still the same horrendous formula.
