Killin' It for The Bride and Bill

Remember the iconic song most commonly (and erroneously) tabbed as the "theme" of Quentin Tarantino's 2-part epic Kill Bill?   The song is actually called "Battle Without Honor or Humanity", and the gentleman who wrote it was Tomoyasu Hotei, a legend of the Japanese rock music scene with over 35 years of recordings and hits under his belt.   A multi-instrumentalist,  he plays bass, drums, and keyboards, in addition to the guitar work he displays in the video below, which shows him and his band delivering what I think is a killer extended version of this iconic masterpiece.   He's got the chops to be sure - I think bringing him to the states for a tour or some concert appearances would be in order, yes?  Check it out here:
(Yes, the video is likely copyrighted - and I'll take it down if requested.)

His website is here.   He's got a lot of other stuff on there that's worth checking out.
