Great interview...some of Arvan's responses don't surprise me.
I have the last Racer X show on tape where he plays Whitesnake 'Slide It In' and Oni is singing...cool. I also have the GIT open counseling tape that he did...completely sick!
This was probably 10-12 years ago, when I got back to Ohio, I hunted him down via information, I think he was still in Burlingame?!!?...anyway got his number, called him, spoke with him for a few minutes and was curious if he was willing to copy/sell any of his demo stuff during this time period...he was completely NOT into it, in terms of being embarrassed of his playing etc. He was into engineering and production, meanwhile, I'm thinking "dude, you absolutely smoke with your playing"...go figure. Oh well...artists you know.
I took a lesson with Bouillet back in '94 when I was at MI, asked about Chris etc. And in regards to Arvan's playing, Bouillet said "Yeah, the guy wasn't fucking around!"
Thanks for the interview....I'm in the process of transferring those tapes to MP3 formats...great shred stuff.

I know this guy will NEVER go back on here, but does anyone else have this show? I'd LOVE to hear that!

I found Chris Arvan's email and I have sent him a message. I'm hoping that I can interview him and find out what's been going on, of course how he got the gig...stuff like that.
I will let you know, the second I hear anything.
Can you please ask him about the gauge of his guitar strings back in the RX days and what the gauge nowadays is like. Additionally you may ask: Taken the situation he had to cut 5 strings of his guitar for good. Which would be the one string that he would spare out and why?
Thanks so much!
