Young Guitar Phenom!

Here's a video Paul Harris of Violation fame sent me. He says, "This is a young kid from Asia that has no interest in being famous, etc. (as he hides his face with a hat) He put this on youtube and within a short time it had 15 million hits. Check it out. He’s no Eddie Van Halen but he sure has the right idea for a young kid...

First New Van Halen Line Up Photo!

Here's the first new Van Halen picture to come out of the VH camp.

For all the early talk about this new line up, and as much as I think Michael
Anthony should be in it, I think Wolfy looks pretty cool in this shot.

TRIUMPH (2 ACOUSTIC JAMS FROM RICK EMMETT)

I can't believe I found this one. My Pal Troy Boyer used to play this album back in 1980 and I would always ask him to play this solo.

We first heard about Triumph in the SF Bay Area when the great rock promoter Bill Graham ran one of the coolest TV commercials showing Triumph playing live while advertising an upcoming concert. Of course we went and they really did blow us away with their show.

Here were 3 guys that not only sounded great, but Rick was running all over the place and filling the stage. Here's to knowing how to come into town as unknown rockers and leaving as stars...

Fastway "Say What You Will"

Terry Bozzio Drum Solo 1988

I love drums as well as guitars and there's no drummer better than Terry Bozzio.

Check out this solo where he displays his "Independence". That's where different appendages are playing in different meters.

Thanks to the great drummer Steve Quartarola for turning us on to this one!

Motorhead - Ace of Spades ( Live 1980 )

I saw Motorhead a few years back. Lemmy came out and before they started playing said, "We're Motoheard, we're a rock and roll band", as if we didn't know. They then went on to kick Killer Ass and my buddy Roy and I were in metal heaven!

About half way through their VERY LOUD set, in between songs Lemmy turns to the side of the stage and says to the sound man, "Fuck'em! Turn it up!" I thought that was one of the greatest things I had ever heard at a concert! Lemmy had the whole crowd eating out of his hands and then he turns on us. Now THAT'S Rock-And-Roll!

Black Sabbath - Neon Knights with Ronnie James Dio

It just doesn't get any better than "Neon Nights" by Black Sabbath with Ronnie James Dio...

L.A. Guns - Sex Action (Live 1990)

For those of us old school types that love Killer Raw bands, there's nothing better than L.A. Guns! Here they are on Rick Dees show. (Hard to believe that Rick is the one who recorded "Disco Duck"!)

Jason Becker Guitar Solo

Check out Jason in the beginning of this solo as one hand is shredding on the neck while the other hand is playing with a Yo-Yo!

It's one thing to think that up, and another to do it. But leave it to Jason to pull it off and look cool in the process!

Salute, Don Becker...

The Donnas Live in New York

The Donnas Live on SNL

Being an 80's rock fan, I love The Donnas who were obviously influenced by that era. I love the Ace Frehley licks and Ted Nugent vibe at times. Their juvenile lyrics are perfect for the mentality of this listener.

Keep up the Killer Rocking girls!

Van Halen 1977

Check out Eddie using the same guitar from the cover of "Woman And Children First"...

Brian Setzer Orchestra - This Cat´s on a Hot Tin Roof

Here's a live performance by the Brian Setzer Orchestra on a European TV show. There's about a 1.5 minute intro in German, but it's worth the wait.

Also, after the band is done, Brain plays a solo by himself that's Killer!

If you've never seen this band live, it's a must see. They have a Killer Christmas Show that I can't recommend enough!

David Lee Roth Set To Rejoin Van Halen For Tour!

A Van Halen reunion tour, with David Lee Roth back in the fold after 22 years, is in the works, with a Las Vegas launch looking good.

A late April date at the Palms' new venue, The Pearl, is "99 percent" likely, a source said.

It would be the latest coup for Palms owner George Maloof, who will open the 2,500-seat venue with a lineup that includes Tool, Evanescence, Gwen Stefani and possibly Van Halen, all in the first month.

A 40-date tour is being discussed.

Roth fronted the band from 1974 to 1985 before going solo. He was close to rejoining about 11 years ago, but a blowup caused another rift.

Van Halen's last tour, in 2004, grossed about $40 million, with Sammy Hagar as the lead.

P.S. I can't wait to hear them play Jump!
