Hi Shadow,
Actually the slide guitar in CrossRoads was mocked on screen by Ralph Macchio, and actually played and performed by Ry Cooder. The footage of Steve Vai to my knowledge doesn't contain any slide, but is smokin' hot none the less....22 years later it's still one of my favorite guitar ...

Dean,
Go ahead and put me down...I'll take at least 2 of them.

Steve and Vito....yeah! I read an interview with Vivian one time where he said that style he played with Dio really wasn't his forte. I think his playing on that first RiverDogs CD is fantastic.

What about Jake and Nuno Bettencourt?



Andy

Really?....Vivian just released blues record. I just saw him with Def Leppard, and he had a pretty fiery blues based style....he wasn't as "over the top" as he used to be but a fantastic tasteful player none the less. Additionally he sings now as well.


Andy

Jake & Billy Gibbons

Jake & John Sykes

Jake & Gary Moore

Jake & Vivian Campbell

Jake & Stevie Ray Vaughn

Jake & Mike Stern

Jake & Gary Hoey

Jake & Neal Schon

Jake & Carlos Santana


Too many to list....I'd just settle for more of Jake's playing period.


Andy

Speaking of John Sykes...anybody see the Thin Lizzy concert on VH1 Classic the other night?
John Sykes was a monster even back then.


Andy

I saw Oni with Lynch Mob back in '90 or 91....whenever they came through Texas. I always thought he was a really good singer, but he was also a good enteratiner as well. Very good stage presence, and entertaining to watch.

I have an old Hot Licks tape w/Wolf Marshall that is a Jake E. Lee Style. Seems like I remember some of the stuff he does on there is played out of Mixolydian. Still got the book that goes with it too....

Andy

I'll admit, I think Bo's first album is well.....very commercial, way too much for my tastes. My suspicion is that he's much harder edged than what the AI exects allowed him to be.
Whatever the case he was really personable, and seeemed to have a genuinely deep appreciation for Ray and Jake.

Thanks ...

He sang "In A Dream"

Andy

Go back and read dude...I never said he SOUNDED like Ray, I said it was his overall vibe.
Gees, try to share a story and get blasted.....this is why I don't post.

Thanks Dean, I have been admiring your hardware for a while... at some point will give them a try.

Andy

Hi All,

I don't post here hardly at all, I am mostly a lurker, but yesterday something so cool happened to me and I have to share.

From the very beginning of the season of American Idol w/Bo Bice, during every episode I would always tell my wife "Man, that guy for some reason reminds me of Ray ...
