1st thing I thought of.

/eruption.

Holy crap! Is that Eddie Van Halen?

the faces of meth part MCLX

At first glance I thought it was Janis Joplin.

Holy crap! Is that Eddie Van Halen?

+1? Who is it? If it is EVH, Damn. I'm speechless.
f

Aw jeeze, and they caught him holding his prosthetic tongue in his hand. That's just such bad timing, isn't it?

Never underestimate the power of ROCK.

Check out the babe in the background.

Speed Kills! I wonder what Valerie looks like?

I wonder what Valerie looks like?

I don't! I'm not sure that's Van Halen either but what do I know, I don't watch TV or read magazines.

Oh SNAP !@#!

Thats the guy I bought a pencil from on the corner
today !! :eek: :eek:

I was going to guess Eddie Van Halen... just because it's so unbelieveable.

God, it's like a bad afterschool special "This is your brain on crack". Bleah. :eek:

I think it was this guy eddy van halen who once said that when he was a kid, growing up, that he never listened to hendrix, he always listened to eric clapton.. -because hendrix was 'weird' -or something like that. Well, this is what you get for listening to the worng music as a youth. Your musical tastes can manifest themselves in your personal appearance.. -let this be a lesson to all.

Clapton's been to the crossroads. Jimi was one of his victims.

So who is it? Really.

That's Eddie, but man!! He looks terrible!! Sad...very sad.

How much Chemo and radiation did he go through?

yeah, that's what I thought.

so, listeniong to Clapton will make me like that?

or worse (but probably only if you're a talented guitarist)

Stevie Ray Vaughan was another Clapton victim.

Stevie Ray Vaughan didn't play much like Clapton, did he? No, I think his chops were shaped more by Hendrix.. He couldn't hold a candle to Hendrix in musician-ship and creativety.. -but atleast he was no Clapton.. i.m.o. :beer:

listen to SRV's version of Little Wing and tell me he couldn't
cut heads with Jimi. Different styles no question, but SRV
played a mean axe. Just think of what the two of them would have
sounded like today if. . .

and yes, SRV thought very highly of jimi.

I think SRV strove for a tighter, cleaner sound, which ain't say'in much I guess. I was told he mixed his substance in with his JD's.

Yeah man.. I'm not talkin about chops, I was referring to musicianship/compositional skills kind of stuff. Stevie Ray Vaughn may have played a really great version of little wing, -but who thought up the song that he was playing?

SRV could cover Hendrix...and make it his own...and he stretched out in a lot of different directions Hendrix never explored.

And he died in one of Clapton's helicopters.

At least he's not brandishing his false teeth in public.

lies :rolleyes:

Duane Allman died shortly after recording Layla with Clapton.

oh yeah.. Eric Clapton is a devil. I wasn't disputing that at all. :beer:

well it was probably worth it.

It's Randy Rhodes returned from the dead!

Beck and Vaughn jammed together at the end. You are right on. Hendrix is the pure source spring. Stevie Ray is just a great guitar player and musician. Vaughn brought us to our feet; Beck took us into the clouds. JMHO.

EVH doesn't look that bad in person like the photo indicates...I met him at the NAMM show a couple of years ago in Anaheim.

Saw all 3 VH show in Vegas '04. Sammy is OK, but DLR is still the ultimate frontman...


Here's a OMG recent pic of D2Roadies working on his core strength...

"Cristo Redentor"
"Righteous"

Jimi Hendrix skills is nothing anymore(hasn't been for a number of years), everybody did his type stuff to the point it got worn out.
now their is Guitarists that make jimi look like preschool skills like Steve vai, yngwie malmsteen, that person that does "surfing with the alien" & so on.
Jimmy page & others were actually better & actually layed down alot more influential things than Hendrix.
He lived & died what he actually was. Like how Lynyrd Skynyrd puts it "the needle & the spoon."
Exit stage left ,"purple haze" :)

Eddie Van Halen's wife, Valerie Bertinelli, recently filed for divorce after 24 years of marriage. The couple wed on April 11, 1981, and have one son, 14-year-old Wolfgang Van Halen. According to the divorce petition filed by Bertinelli, they separated on Oct. 15, 2001.

Yeah, but guitarists like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are boring as bat **** to listen to. 'Look mum, I can make my fingers go really really fast up and down the frets'.

It's all a matter of opinion.:rolleyes: If it is exciting & not boring for you to listen to "cross town traffic" & "hey Joe" over & over for 35+ years than that's great.:)
"look mum, i can play this here guitar whacked out of my mind on the electric dream":rolleyes:

If Vai, Satriani et al are so exciting, why isn't everybody running out to purchase their albums? (excluding purchasers of Guitar Masturbaters Monthly Magazine ):p

I can not believe you just mentioned Hendrix's name in the the same sentence with those tools.. Guitarists with technical chops that can shred at super human speeds are a dime a dozen.. but guitarist who craft their technique to become masterful musicians are not. And as for you assuming that these guys could do anything Hendrix did .. -I've only four words for you (to quote miles davis); - "machine gun, mother f_cker, -machine gun.." :beer:

Everybody is "running out to purchase" Jimi Hendrix albums??:eek:

Nonsense. There has never been a guitarist more influential that Hendrix. This is not a matter of opinion. This is a matter of accurate assessment.

"Machine gun" has to be the best thing that he's ever done & that was yet another JOINT development. NOT on his own.
To "shred at superhuman speeds" with accuracy, talent & finnese is not something every guitarist can do. you take for instance the once famed "national athem" that hendrix did with all that wretched distortion racket he made jacking off that tremolo bar, who can't do that now?
Look ma' i can pick with my teeth & light my guitar on fire:rolleyes:

Speed Kills! I wonder what Valerie looks like?
Actually, she still looks quite attractive.

So who is it? Really.

Gollum!

Machine gun is but 'one' of the epiphanal accomplishments of Hendrix.. And what is this about it being; "yet another JOINT development. NOT on his own" . . -what in Jeebus name are you talking about son??

Segovia was not the most technically proficient guitar player, but he was the most emotive classical guitar player that has ever lived, and his ability to communicate with his audience brought the classical guitar out of the parlor and into the concert hall.

Joe Pass, one of my personal faves, spoke about this in a performance for a school of guitar students. He told them straight out, "People won't remember you for your ability to play fast." If you've ever listened to this master of the instrument, you'll understand communication through music, and it's not about speed.

BS.(period)

"son"?? you are funny:roflmao: You should get you're "stuff" straight first>:)
What IS the "band of gypsys" EXACTLY?
I believe that was some sort of experimental thing ( saving carreer?) he did fore he keeled over? :eek:
