Check out my posts 161 & 162 for a couple of more greats! :)
1. Randy Rhoads from Ozzy Osbourne. Songs: Mr. Crowley, Revelation (Mother Earth), Dee, Diary of a Madman. Also see some of his stuff from his years with Quiet Riot.
2. Iron Maiden Songs: Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, Power Slave... heck, most of their guitar work is some of the best ever done. The syncronized solo’s that they are famous for is mind boggling. I’ve always been partial to the material used in the World Slavery Tour of 1984.
3. Queen. Songs: Some of the licks from the “Flash Gordon” sound track are quite memorable though the movie was nothing to write home about (except for Aura... sigh). My all time favorite though simple is “We Will Rock You.”
4. Van Halen. Anything in the early years (”1984” and earlier) with one exception. I’ve always like “Amsterdam”.
5. Michael Fath. Album: Sonic Tapestries.
You’ll note that there is little new stuff that I like. Most of the music now days is vamped on effects equipment and computerized. I’m old school. I appreciate true talent and metal solo guitarists are some of the most under rated and un-appreciated musical artists that have ever lived.

An old favorite.
Just bought the Rio DVD....amazing musicians. Phenominal musicians. Thanks.
Probably my first double reply ever. Wanted to thank you again for that great piece of music. It is beautiful. Especially haunting cuz he looks so much like me in my 30’s. Minus the schnozz.
God, where did you find that? Fantastic.
Over 200 posts and not one mention of Uli John Roth....efficianados by ass.
