Watching him play makes my bone invert.
Dude, great call on Percy Jones. Phenomenal player.

No Robin Trower or Frank Marino? I'm still not down from the contact high from listening to Trower and Mahogany Rush records.
and most importantly, the Eugene's Trick Bag battle in Crossroads with Vai (he did the Machio parts and showed him how to finger like he actually knew how to play)
Marino makes his own pedals now
Frank Marino Audio
Experience exceptional tone with Frank Marino’s custom designed and hand-assembled guitar pedals. Create your own unique tonal soundscape.

they may be the most overpriced pedals ever made
As far as Robin goes, I think that he did some of his best work before he went solo (Piggy Pig Pig, the tag in Whaling Stories, Simple Sister)
but how can you plug in a vibe pedal and not sneak in the guilty pleasure of a bit of Bridge of Sighs?
Today's addition: The late Tommy Bolin. Great blues/rock player who I remember as a replacement for Blackmore in Purple and Joe Walsh in James Gang. Also good enough to play on Billy Cobham's jazz fusion album, Spectrum. I had his solo records, Teaser and Private Eyes, too.
Before Kevin Cronin took them completely into the pop domain, REO Speedwagon was a pretty good rock band. The late Gary Richrath could play his ass off.
Jay Jay French
I'm not a fan of the band or player. But opinions are what this thread is all about. I respect yours.
No, I am half kidding...........They were a top bar band but their own music stinks. We followed them around before they were famous.....OBI east, ETC. They were a fun group to party with early on...But again IMO their own music was bad.
I did, too. Like the Good Rats, who I thought were better.
Dude, I like a bunch of rock guys most despise. My comment was in no way a dig. Jay Jay was a pretty good guitarist. Just not someone I would place in that top list. But I'm no authority. Just some imbecile saying who I like.
Cool video.
What a treat seeing these two greats just hangin' and playin' a little.
acoustics, yuck
I'm mad a Lukather. Bought tix to his Toxic Monkey tour right before the pandemic . He "postponed" rather than cancel so the venue won't refund the tix saying that it will be rescheduled. A couple of years have gone by, I guess so did the $$$
meanwhile, ever hear hos Los Lobotomys band?

Yeah, I never liked the tinny tone of those Ovation acoustics. I posted that just for the few seconds we get of Glen Campbell's incendiary licks. The guy was just an incredible guitar player. I remember watching him on his show, the Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, back in the late 60s.
I read this piece the other day. This should indicate what an influence Campbell was on other guitarists.
Eddie Van Halen once asked Alice Cooper to get Glen Campbell to give him a guitar lesson
Eddie Van Halen asked Alice Cooper to set up a guitar lesson with Glen Campbell, according to the shock rocker himself.

I had not hear of his Los Lobotomys band. Good song. And geez, what a friggin' backup band. Good tune, thanks for sharing and bringing them to my attention.
In the catagory of, well maybe this is tooooo trivial ...
This is about the cover on Led Zep IV

Thought of this guy during my walk earlier, Buck Dharma. As well as crafting one of rock's most recognizable riffs in "Don't Fear the Reaper", his playing powered Blue Oyster Cult.
Often overlooked-Terry Kath
Great call. For me, Kath made those early Chicago albums. Fantastic lead player.
