I seriously doubt that David Torn would be playing in bands with people like Bill Bruford and Tony Levin, or Terry Bozzio and Mike Karn if he couldn't play the guitar well, or if he lacked self confidence in his own ability to keep up with them. I bought the videos because I liked his playing on Cloud About Mercury. Not everyone likes all of his work. I've seen people on his own list slam Splattercell. He didn't care. Most good musicians don't care at all what people who criticise their work think of them. It usually says more about the crtitic than the musician. They create and play their music for the few (or many) people who get what they are doing and like it. To quote a great line King Crimson song: (I think the quote was from a shrink to a musician who was letting critics get to him.) "You can't please every one it's a natural fact, I recommend a fifth of Jack Daniels and a bottle of prozac."
