My old band

Post by Genebaby »

Found some old footage of an old band of mine and put a couple of songs on YouTube. This is back in the days of long hair!

Aw shucks, I just do my best for each band I'm in at the time. I enjoyed playing that Charvel for a while, then the Koa SD1, and then the red replica of the SD1.

For a time there I was playing my LP and got pretty proficient at playing Crazy Train on it, like Randy, though I couldn't do it now, you need to play those suckers for a while to get used to them.

Yeah, when I got it in about 94 it had EMGs and came with the original pickups. No complaints.

Before my body gave out on me I used to say the same thing. Nice playing though!

Lovin the guitar. An old band I was in also used to play Crazy Train. Enough to where I hated it almost. But this is a very good cover the lead parts are played wonderfully :mrgreen:

Thanks guys, and the Michael Sweet reference is interesting, I can kinda see that as you mainly have that footage to go by, but I'm not gonna make it in a Stryper tribute any time soon! :D :D :D

I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.
