How bout possibly the tastiest blues player in history who made the most utilitarian use of the pentatonic scale I’ve ever heard of.
I ripped, edited, recompressed and uploaded it just for you guys.

I don’t remember who originally wrote it. Gary’s been around since the early seventies actually, Skid Row, Thin Lizzy and a bunch of metal albums until he went back to a very rocky flavored blues 15 or 16 years ago. Not the greatest player ever, but he can pour some gut wrenching emotion though a guitar boy.
It’s great to see a guitar thread, but especially one mentioning guys like Don Ross, Tommy Emmanuel, etc. Shit, I don’t see Don even getting mentioned in guitar forums!
I’ve met Don, was supposed to go to a Master Class at his house but 9/11 happened that week and my flight was canceled. For you guys who like the acoustic stuff, check out Pierre Bensusan’s album Intuite. Pierre’s the man.
this should be interesting. hopefully roth will be able to piss eddie off enough to get some good music out of him…unless he pansies out again… eddie isn’t exactly the healthiest guy around, i sometimes confuse him with keith richards.

I was at the book store the other day and was approaching the magazine rack. I didn’t have my glasses on (I’m near-sighted) and saw a magazine with what looked like a puffy-faced Asian man on the cover. As I got closer I saw it was Eddy.

Geezus!! WTF happened to that cat? [/quote]
i’m not sure but i think his abuse of cocaine/alcohol/chain smoking led to mouth cancer.

It is cocaine? I have a friend who swears his second drug (after alcohol) was heroin.
I wonder which one of those would be more likely to have contributed to that whole hip replacement business. My first thought would be heroin because of the chronic malnutrition often associated with it.
According to Ed, the hip replacement was caused by gross alcohol consumption over many years (and alcohol has always been his #1 vice), which leeched calcium from the bones and made the hip susceptible to fracture (when combined with all that jumping around onstage). I’d never heard of Eddie being into heroin, though.

Other than my friend, “the expert”, I hadn’t either. The same goes for cocaine — this thread was the first time I’d heard that one.

i’m not sure about that one…a quick google though confirms the alcoholism and the cancer.
