Post by: Afghan Dave on March 07, 2007, 09:18:23 PM: You know... For a guy who can make magic music, everytime I see live clips - even vintage in this case I wonder what the feck is going on..

He must have been drunk most of his life...

On this evidence, I understand why Randy Rhoads thought that he was all "tricks" and rated George Lynch more highly.

I just admire and fail to understand the guy to an equal extent.

:? :? :?

Post by: Philly Q on March 07, 2007, 09:55:06 PM: I always hated it back in the 80s when every rock/metal gig would include an unaccompanied solo spot from the guitarist. Just totally pointless wanking.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing musicians showing off their "chops" (as our American friends might say), but play an instrumental. With a bass player. And a drummer. It's called music...

I'm not sure how he had the nerve to stand up there and play a solo spot that badly.

If I get totally pissed at the London Guitar Show - I can pretty much guarantee I'll demonstrate the same musical gift :roll: :wink: :roll:

Less is more IMO:

It really doesn't get much better than that. I've been trying to get that vibrato for ten years, and I still can't get anywhere close!

Hope you're not disrespecting the Angus there fella ;)

Post by: 99_not_out on March 09, 2007, 09:33:50 PM: Lol. no way!
But just to be clear, Angus Young is IMO untouchable as a live Rock guitarist, and I was simply noting the similarity in Eddie's stage show to one of the true greats :)

Post by: HTH AMPS on March 11, 2007, 01:51:39 PM: BB King just bores the tits off me these days - thats probably one of the worst clips I've ever seen of him too (quite a few duff notes). Here's a MUCH better one...

I'm not the world biggest BB fan though, give me Muddy Waters or Albert King any day of the week. checkout this Muddy here, he was a slick dude...
