This is an interesting development... but I feel like all these artists were forced to do this or something! Like Sony whispered "sing this or we might not renew your Japanese distribution and touring contract"...

08. Kumori Nochi Hare / Mark Slaughter (SLAUGHTER)
09. Dreams / Mike Ruocco (CINDER ROAD)
10. Triptych (Alt Ver.) / George Lynch (ex. DOKKEN)
11. 1/3 no Junjou na Kanjou / Acid Black Cherry [Special Track]thx ryan!
Shinya (Dir en grey), me (jrocknyc!) and Junji (Siam Shade)
Because why would Yngwie possibly want to pay tribute to a band he's prolly never heard of, unless he was threatened with the prospect of reduced support and access to the only fans who still buy his tickets and tour goods?
Or who knows, maybe Siam is HUGE among 2nd-tier western metal artists...
