I thought it was pretty EVHish as well. What the hell was that fuzz EVH looking thing in the solo section? A parody of Diamond Daves fuzzy guitar?
(hence the 'Diamond Darrell'?)
Yeah, I can see some Def LP in this, but even the moves post solo with the shot his coming towards the camera with the Charvel were very Eddie..not many people didn't emulate Ed to degree back then. You can definitely hear Darrell's style taking form in his tone, the writing, playing back then.
I was wondering if that was Phil too but I think it may be their first singer Terrence Lee. They had a few singers that took up the post in '86 before going with Phil it seems.
Terrence Lee (a.k.a. Terry Glaze): - Vocals (from 1982-1986)
David Peacock: - Vocals (1986)
Donny Hart: - Vocals (1986)
Matt Lamour: - Vocals (1986)

I never was a huge Pantera fan, I got turned onto them by my ex girlfriend who was really into metal/death metal far more than myself.
When I heard his playing on Cemetary Gates, that was when I really took notice of his talents and that really wasn't until 101 proof came out. I probably saw them once or twice, but they weren't the headliner.
I look at these guys format and their background had alot of Van Halen type similarites. Even their Father helped form their own label.
That was Terry Glaze on vocals.
You guys are right on about the influences. I remember how much the band liked the Def Lepard High and Dry album.
Edward was a huge influence on Darrell. Back in the early days he had a black Hondo Charvel copy with yellow tape on it. Didn't play it much but it looked cool.
One of the best moments I remember was going over to his house and hearing him at 15 years old playing the tapping part of eruption through a Roland Space Echo and his Yamaha practice amp.
I had just started playing metal and had never seen anyone
play like that live. He definitely had the gift and was
nice enough to show me some stuff.
Funny thing is when he showed me the standard pentatonic scale, he called it the "Darrell Abbott" scale. Wish I still had the pages where he wrote out the tapping part of Eruption for me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Was there a video for the first song off the "Projects in the Jungle" albumn called "All Over Tonight" ? I don't see that video there now but another video of a song called "Heavy Metal Rules" which is also from Projects. If anyone has it, I would greatly appreciate a email.
