G3, a guitar supergroup that features top-tier shredders Steve Vai, Joe Satrianni, and John Patrucci, is an axe-lover's dream come true. The band's usual relentless energy is cranked up even higher on this live Tokyo date, and the heavy riffing and blistering leads throughout the set are absolutely ferocious.

Patrucci, who rose to prominence in the progressive metal band Dream Theater, distinguishes himself here, and proves that his six-string skills are on par with his revered cohorts. In addition to some extended jams, there are covers of classic, riff-defining rock songs (Deep Purple's "Smoke On the Water" and Jimi Hendrix's "Foxey Lady," among them) that add a dash of fun to the jaw-dropping pyrotechnics.

Recording information: Tokyo Forum, Tokyo, Japan (2005).

G3: Joe Satriani, John Petrucci, Steve Vai (guitar).

Additional personnel include: Tony MacAlpine (guitar, keyboards); Billy Sheehan (bass guitar); Mike Portnoy (drums).
