A damned good LP, some great playing on there. Recommended.


Oh, and I'm 10 and 3 quarters. I have these hairs sprouting round my tassle and on my pouch, is this normal?

Dude, you kill me. 10 and 3 quarters. HA! Good one limey.

[Rsmacker]

. It was good.

Didn't he also play on Vince Neils first Solo CD? The one with You're Invited But Your Friend Can't Come?

I thought it was a kids toy raygun held up to the pickup.

IIRC, thats how he does it now.

I always thought it was a harmonic (don't know if that's the right term) caused by tapping the side of the pick on the strings close to the neck side of the bridge pickup. But I could never get it to sound right.

Then I think I read about the raygun thing. That made sense.

You are correct, sir. Checkit:

Steve Stevens rips. Always thought that somehow playing with Idol relegated him to "sideshow virtuoso", but I am aware he's done tons of other stuff.

I still don't know what effect he used in the "Rebel Yell" solo, and maybe I don't want to know. Whatever it was, I still love hearing it, 1000x on.

Steve Stevens is fucking amazing guitarist and songwriter and he has one of the best live guitar tones ever.

I love Yngwie but Steve is much more versatile player and better writer.

Steve did some of the coolest rock guitar work I've heard on Vince Neil's debut album

also Steve did 2 albums with Terry Bozzio and Tony Levin.... two one of the most influental and unique musicians out there.... they wouldn't have played with Steve if he isn't that good. Awesome albums wich cover all kinds of stuff from rock to jazz fusion, from prog to latin

besides Steve has probably the best hair out of all the guitarists

Yep..but I wouldn't care if he were bald..he rules!

That entire "exposed" cd is awesome..one of the best guitar tones ever recorded IMO!

I'm into heavier style these days but SS is underatted! His Flaminco stuff is insane!

I have the Black Light Syndrome cds..or whatever they're called. Totally off the cuff and some truly kick ass moments!

Some of those wrestling divas are pretty damn hot. There's actually big tie-ins between a lot of these wrestlers and modern metal bands too. Triple H uses Motorhead for his theme, for example. So there's a crossover audience, whether you approve or not.

Redneck rocker chicks all across the land are putting out for those guys. You and I might think it's silly, but it doesn't matter what we think.

I agree some of the Divas are VERY hot... but they are not really groupies
I like that Torrie and Candice chick
that being said wrestling is still pretty lame in my opinion

[Bengal]

[toejam]

Steve Stevens > Yngwie.

Well, I know Yngwie is kind of a polarizing figure, but I don't know, I guess I'm not familier enough with Steve Stevens stuff, I mean I like that stuttering machine gun stuff in Rebel Yell, but really, does Steven Stevens belong with:

EVH,
Yngnwie
Vai
Gilbert

????

or are you dudes just busting my balls for bringing up wrestling???haha!!!

[Bengal]

OK, I admit my analogy was not that great, if you like Steve Stevens better, than you can compare him to the better QB
I only know the Billy Idol hits.

I'm listening to "White Wedding" right now, I don't know if Steve played on that, I do know that I used to crack people up with my Billy Idol sneer and punch!

You really need to listen to more Billy Idol. Blue Highway off Rebel Yell had some great guitar. But shit, the song Rebel Yell had some smoking guitar going on.

But get Idols latest Devils Playground. Some kick ass rock and roll guitar on that album.

Steve had his own band back in the day called The Atomic Playboys that were pretty good. There was a sweet instrumental called Running Through The Sands Of Time or some kind of lame title like that. It was good.

Didn't he also play on Vince Neils first Solo CD? The one with You're Invited But Your Friend Can't Come? I seem to remember he played lead on that one as well.

Fuckin' great rock guitarist. I've always liked him.
