Here is the write up for the show at the WOWOW website:

Universal Music and UDO Artists, in conjunction with Hard Rock Café’s 20th anniversary in Japan, present Guitar Wars. This will be a unique event involving 'super guitarists' from different genres and backgrounds. Confirmed artists so far are Steve Hackett, John Paul Jones, Paul Gilbert and Nuno Bettencourt.

John Paul Jones needs little introduction after being part of one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time with the legendary Led Zeppelin. A truely amazing bass player, session musician and artist in his own right.

Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big has established himself as a popular solo artist, not only as a super guitar player but also as a pop songwriter. But, as if to let go of his virtuosic needs, he also plays guitar in his heavy metal unit, Racer X.

Nuno Bettencourt was hailed as the next guitar genius after Eddie Van Halen when he emerged with Boston outfit Extreme. Since turning solo, he has released 4 albums under monikers: such as Nuno, Mourning Widows and Population 1.

Completing the lineup are Pat Mastelotto from King Crimson on drums, Roger King from the Steve Hackett Band on keyboards and Mike Szuter from The Szuters on bass. A "super group" in the true sense!

Expect an evening of excitement and surprises? Who knows what what may be brought out of vaults filled with great songs. Genesis, Led Zeppelin, Mr. Big or Extreme classics? Interesting rare covers, maybe. And always watch out for the guitar battles!!

The concerts will only happen once each in Tokyo and Osaka. Don’t miss this experience of a lifetime.
