That's definitely the "problem" of why he's so often overlooked and underrated. The Steve Vais and Eddie Van Halens of the world get attention because of their guitar theatrics. And not that those guys aren't talented -- they certainly are -- but when you play to benefit the
song, as LB does, and not just to get your audience's rocks off, your skills tend to go more unnoticed.
