Well break is over. I'm kind of sad yet happy to be going back to class. It's weird I am actually excited about school these days even though I hate Physics.
The trip to Raleigh was great. I didn't get a chance to see Blade but managed to have a couple funny conversations with him. I heard him on the air at 96 Rock and it was cool to hear him back on the air. I heard him and his sidekick discussing the greatest guitarists of all time. We all of course know it's Jimi Hendrix, but his partner on the show wanted to divide it up into sub categories. NO! It doesn't work that way. There is no such thing as a great modern rock guitarist. I am trying to think of who in the hell would be in that category.. ummm no one. Stupid.
Here is my top 5:
5. Randy Rhoads
4. Eddie Van Halen
3. Eric Clapton
2. Stevie Ray Vaughan
1. Jimi Hendrix
I think that is a pretty impressive list. I don't need to divide it up. I would say those guitarist have all been an influence to most that are in the music business.
Flight home read more of the "Slash" book and now up to where they fired Steve Adler. I will say this Slash was one heroin shooting dude. Damn. It's amazing he is still alive and kicking. Here is another clip from the old days of GnR.
There was just something about that band just in your face straight up Rock n Fuckin' Roll.
