Slash then fails at life at the 30th Anniversary gig. Enough said.

That is the fantastic Jennifer Batten. She played with Jeff Beck too.

(Edit: damn, Blue beat me to it!)

Weird seeing that first video - MJ is like a completely different person now, and not just his face.

To be fair to Slash, it's hardly his style. But what he plays there is horrible.

wasnt that one played by van halen?

besides, she gets props for playin that flawlesly, WITH those huge horns, lights and 5" high heels

slash realy cant tap, that's why he cant play it well

I could play it better than him, and i can't even play it (yet)

And that is my next question!

Anyone know of any instructional videos to help me learn this solo because it is fecking hard!!!

Also does anyone have a GOOD tab of it because i can't find a right one!

I think she's saying "If you took the hair out of your eyes you might be able to play it better!":

since when did cc deville play with jacko? :twisted:

EDIT: also, judging by the video, even dressing up like a deer was fashionable in the 80's...

extra edit: what was wrong with slash's? wasn't what eddie played, but I thought it was good. :?

Jennifer Batten is a fantastic player - very sad that she didnt get more attention
I always loved the rhythm guitar track on that songt - Steve Lukather played it.

Another video clip

The skin on my fingers have been ripped off in attempting this solo, and i still can't do it all.
