Does any one know exactly how Andy Laroche plays the tapping bends in the first solo of Human Form (IndividuleThought patterns), I have the tab but i can't seem to get it to sound right. Also in another one of Andys solos in trapped in a corner (also Individule thought patterns) after the 12th note or so he plays what is called a "tremelo cricket" he uses this technique often and im ashamed to say i have no clue how to do it.

As for your question, I have no idea what a tremolo cricket is. I guess a fast tremolo?
To bend while tapping, try bending the string with your left hand finger(s), than tapping with your right hand finger(s)...

dump the mother fucker and then let it go...it'll vibrate do to the fact that it slams back...i'm pretty sure that's how it's done but don't fuck anything up.

Im not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean hit the whammy bar real quick and release it, because it dosnt sound like a dive.
As for the tab of the tapping bends (tab is slightly skewed but you get it):
