After
Richie Kotzen was kicked out of
Poison, he teamed up with fellow shred-guitarist
Greg Howe to record
Tilt, an album that was nearly half-a-decade behind the times. Filled with fretboard heroics in the vein of
Eddie Van Halen and
Allan Holdsworth,
Tilt lacks any memorable songs; it is comprised of nothing but hot-shot guitar playing. Granted, some of the playing is impressive, but the two guitarists sound like they're fighting each other, not playing. Consequently, there's nothing on
Tilt to appeal to anyone but the most fanatical guitar aficionados.
