Any love for Neil Giraldo?

[Racerx2k]

Hell yeah! One of the most underrated players ever. When asked about influences, I almost always list him. And Pat is one of the best rock singers, to boot.

Everybody in this thread needs to check out the "Summer Vacation" DVD. So awesome, he heavies it up nicely.

Don't know what movie I was thinking of. Some teen coming of age at the beach in the summer movie, I guess...

I'll have to check that one out...

Excellent player. I'm not a big fan, but everytime I hear his solos, I'm impressed. The guy always seems to play the right thing... very tasteful. His style is also really identifyable, which to me is the mark of a good player. Also he plays with alot of feeling, whether he's burning or being melodic.

Because of him, I can actually sit through "Jessie's Girl" because of that great solo

I had no idea it was Neil on that song.

Isn't that Rick Springfield on the Jessie's girl solo?

Haha nope, its Neil. Like I said, you can recognize that guys playing anywhere.

Aldo Nova

Fantasy has a great guitar solo in it too. Its perfect for the song.

I alwayed loved the video for that song, All the Red Marshall stacks in the back ground! Too Cool!! Aldo Nova is a great player. Heard he once played in a Beatles tribute band.
