He looks like one of those Sharppe dogs or something..

Have you looked at Jon Bonham lately, drinking killed him...

but yeah RP isn't looking good, neither is the forementioned Eddie, though he had his bout with cancer I think the booze did some damage. He's only 2 years older then me, I look early to mid 30's, he looks his age and then some. If I'm not mistakebn his father died from alchohol poisoning as well (that's what you see in Plant, the drawn out skin and such). It's sad to see, look at Alice Cooper...he's another that almost let booze kill him...but it's legal

I think Alvin Lee's solo was just as good...

now I find it hard to believe you at all, because the Ratt/Poison tour that came to the Worcester Centrum in the mid 80's had Loudness opening...I never saw Cinderella in my life. I would like to know how you know what shows I saw. We all laughed because Loudness was all such small guys, they looked funny.

It's simple. I was working for Poison at the time. We did two tours around then, one with Ratt, the other with Loudness.

If you want, I'll dig out an old itinerary and find out what day you were there.

(Caveat: Maybe they did it after I quit in '87? I doubt it, though.)

that's the stupidist thing I've heard in a long time, I like a lot of things that are popular. But you have proved my point about the LA scene, fake, phony, know it alls. Rock n Roll does not revolve around L.A. you know...

I think the stupidest thing I've ever heard is your sweeping generalizations about the evil big city and how I'm part of it.

...but how would I know, I'm just a small town guy...born in Virginia, raised in Michigan.

My music is on my site. Follow the www link.

like I say I don't like rifts with people, but I guess I over assumed by seeing your location..listed. I too am a small town guy, but I am sorry to tell you that the only reason I went to the concert was to see Loudness. Not Ratt and not Poison, but that's like when I saw Def Leppard on the Pyromania tour, Krokus was the second billing...the opener was Gary Moore. I say there's a show that slid downhill...but only by taste. I like Krokus and old Def Leppard.

I also had this thing for seeing the whole show. So I saw some crap. But my concert days were good to me, I was Boston Garden in 75 to see Areosmith and Foghat opened...the last show was Deep Purple in 90, Winger opened....sadly that show went downhill too, Ritchie was pathetic...

I really don't want to argue with anyone, I like being happy and mellow, I never hold a grudge. In fact my favorite saying is I never carry around a grudge, it just weighs you down....and it doesn't even have a handle...now go tattoo that on somebodies ass...

How do you know I didn't tattoo that ass already?

She's got MY ass tattooed on HER ass, but it's too muddy to see my ass on her ass even though her ass has my ass on it.

heh.

ok, bye.

Clapton on Crossroads. So fluid and eloquent, melodic and emotive.

Slowed it down to learn the first solo recently, and it just makes you appreciate it even more. Even at half speed, it flows so well, and the vibrato is just divine.

I was so pleased I could play it at full speed, but I have about a hundredth the skill and feel Clapton had. And he improvised it, and live in one take. Just perfect (but not perfect)

Hink: just as you think some people see too much in Eddie's playing, I personally think you see too little. Those are 2 opinions that won't change any time soon.

FWIW, Eddie WAS one of the reasons I took up guitar, but I'd rather listen to Tuck Andress if I'm looking for "guitar music" these days.

Id say...

A Show of hands - Victor Wooten

I played it for one of my college recitals a while back about 15bpm slower. one of the best guitar solos ever (bass guitar). Huge respect for victor wooten.

I probably first got inspired by the solo in Sweet Child of Mine. Awsome wah pedal use IMO. And the solo in I Remember You by Skidrow is awsome. It is just so fluid throughout all the passages and dives in the solo.

it was Ritchie Blackmore and Mick Taylor that made me pick-up the guitar, difference of generations I guess. I did say I like EVH and have every album up to and including 1984, most on vinyl. But I do think he's overrated that's all. So isn't Malmsteen.

BTW did you know that when Mick Taylor left the Stones they tried to recruit Michael Schenker? It was his brother Rudolph that talked him out of it. He convinced Michael that his lifestyle was already bad enough, the Stones would of pushed him over the edge. Imagine what the Stones would of been like with Schenker..

Look at Steve Morse, how many years in a row did he win the Magazine "Guitar" guitarist of the year? Several I know but not so many people know him, or even ever heard of the dixie dregs....

Well...

I believe the show you saw was March 16, 1987, and Loudness wasn't on it. It was a Ratt/Poison show, possibly with a local or regional opener, or Cheap Trick, who were on some dates of that tour.(They got dropped because they weren't selling tickets...)

How come you didn't come up and say hi???

You: "Hello, kid, you don't know me, but decades from now we'll argue on something called the internet. Exciting, isn't it?"

Me:"Security!"

...Loudness played the centrum the previous year with ACDC, which, I believe, was their only appearance at the Centrum.

...anyways, I'm not one to hold grudges, and I don't consider any of this anything more than a gentelmanly discussion of guitarists and facts pertaining to them.

...one in which you're frequently mistaken

Ignorant slut!

BTW, yah, EVH was fond of ye drop-D, but not a big open tuning guy. I don't believe he played a fernandez on the early albums, that (those) guitars mainly being fender and charvel parts, which they are marketing again in the coolest memorbilia sale I've ever heard of. Eddie actually paints the damned things(!)

http://www.evh-guitars.com/

...eary instruments for ed included piano and drums, with their father Jan playing clarinet (I believe) on big bad bill.

You can't tell me EVH all sounds the same, if you listen to the aforementioned examples, (Cathedral, PCTS, Spanish Fly, Women and Children First), blind, I think you'd be hard pressed to identify them as the work of a single guitarist.

...so there, Mr. Poopy Pants.
