I want a solo record that is fusion/free form/guitar indulgent, instrumental, raw.
I'd even take a keyboard track in the "I'll wait" vein.
When Dave did his CFTH EP, Ed should have released his free-form/metal jazz, solo record.
Get some guests like Brian May or even Holdsworth, Tony Levin....
Just fucking do it for sheer expression.
It's too bad that that ship has sailed.
