Anyway, we talked for quite a while about those days and he told me that he'd send me an old neck from that era, for free, because he still had a few hundred that he didn't sell to Grover Jackson. Unfortunately, he never sent the neck. But he had some cool stories. :D |
Man, listening to all those singers together just cements the opinion I posted earlier about Dio.

Speaking of hair metal ensembles, Dweezil managed to get Steve Lukather, Zakk Wylde, Warren DeMartini, and Nuno Bettencourt to contribute portions of the guitar solo for this song.
Vocals by Donnie freaking Osmond. :D |
This thread is full of awesome.
I think that guitar appreciation is a lot like the "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" saying. I personally think that Mick Mars was VERY underrated. I also think that Mike McCready is super ****ing overrated. I have no idea why that slug makes it on any list. I also think that Clapton is wildly overrated as well. I hung out with Zakk one night until about 3 a.m. here in KC (Blue Springs) before BLS blew up. It was some dive bar where he literally had to walk through the crowd to get on the stage. He still played for like 3 hours. More pinch harmonics were heard that night than whores seen in vegas. Still, he's one of my fave players, and a very cool dude. Good to see Warren Demartini getting some love, and unless I missed it has no one mentioned Paul Gilbert? I'm sure they have and I just overlooked it. No one was faster than Michael Angelo Batio. Didn't care for his style, but he was so fast that the guys I used to jam with would listen to it and literally be in tears laughing. |
I feel somewhat redeemed... kind of funny nobody has yet to call me out on "Brian Carroll". Either y'all know his stage name, or you don't give a rat's ass.

I'm a huge Kings X fan. I've seen them many times and will again when they open for Kansas next month. Ty Tabor is mind blowingly good. I got to wondering where he'd rank.....guess the world doesn't think he's as bad ass as i do...interesting none the less. from 2010 - Gibsons 50 greatest guitarists http://www2.gibson.com/News-Lifestyl...eals-0528.aspx |
By the way Bowser, that Hear N' Aid shit is a ****ing Hall of Fame of some of my early favorites, what I would consider real "spandex" metal. Quite a few good-to-GREAT leather metal bands on the list too.
Dio, Priest, Maiden, Nugent, Malmsteen, Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Dokken, Y&T, Night Ranger, holy ****ing shit. |
I hesitate to ask this, but is EVH really suffering from diverticulitis and is this the real reason for the tour stoppage?

So yeah, if he really has it, it's a legit reason to stop a tour. |

On his last tour, he took out Doyle Bramhall II and Derek Trucks as his touring guitarist. Those guys are two of the best in the biz. Derek is mindblowingly amazing. If you haven't heard him, check him out. Quote:

And to bring the thread full (mini) circle, no Ozzy Osbourne in that all-star lineup. :hmmm: |
