The tiger and those Esso ads were drawn by MAD Magazine artist Jack Rickard.

This Tony the Tiger theme reminds me of my 67 Goats license plate... I had an extra so I mounted it on my best friend Gibson's K9 Kruiser Kart... Arizona's streets get extremely hot in the summer so I made him this cart to take him from my house to the park without fear of burning his paws... he just recently passed away at 15... boy I sure do miss him

ok, now ya did it.  now i'm cruising youtube for unusual, rare, unique, overlooked muddy waters stuff.  Perhaps this should have been MTV's  first vid instead of something like the Thompson Twins.  MTV's First 30 vids    First up The Buggles!

Thanks. The sound quality is dicey thru the iPhone- sounds a bit tinny to my ear vs. what I hear in person. Boss ME 50 w/ dist., delay and some noise gate, running to a JVM 50 watt head on a M412A cab.

No doubt about it- this is a nod to Vai and his younger, more daring aesthetic tastes.in guitar decor.

Or a nod to the Cuyahoga River ca. 1970s.

Coincidentally, my playing has been compared to the toxins and waste that used to infest that river...
