zorrow Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Well, this actually was a single/EP from Krokus, with guitarist Fernando von Arb showing his Scarab off on the cover. The title of the song also suggests Hamer —I’ll let you guys judge for yourselves. Do you have any other album covers featuring Hamers on them? Please do share!

Are we sure that someone didn't just wake Gary up from a late morning post-show stupor and hold that Standard up in front of him, before sending him back to bed? I met him in my teens at a guitar show. After he’d done his “clinic” I went over to say how much I enjoyed it and he told me to “F off!”. I was gutted... Slight divert but at the same show Paul Gilbert couldn’t give me enough time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you really appreciate the musicians that know they are lucky to be making a living doing something so enjoyable and are grateful to hear from the people who appreciate their music.

Paul Gilbert has to be the humblest virtuoso guitarist ever. Looks like a guy I could be friends with. He’s clever, funny and dow-to-earth —and of course, he’s a phenomenal player.

zorrow Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Well, I’m seeing you guys also consider the back cover as a valid part of the cover... I do get it. It’s like I had limited us just to the missionary posish. Keep’em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I have no idea how he was as an individual, but after watching that DVD of SRV and Albert King together trading licks, in which SRV just played his stuff and avoided to show off in front of the old fella, I immediately thought about Gary Moore spitting out notes like a machine gun, going wild and overplaying, no matter who he shared the stage with. In my mind I was like “this SRV guy was a true gentleman!” by comparing his jam with Albert King to what I had seen Gary Moore doing in front of other legends. Day & night —but I don’t want to be too judgmental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day & night —but I don’t want to be too judgmental. I saw Stanley Clarke do a solo gig that included jamming with a good local jazz band. They all got to do a round of solos. Stanley made sure to hold back the showstopping flashiness when he did his solo and let the local bass player shine during that part of the show. Like SRV, Stanley Clarke showed some class. Ozzy Osbourne said Gary Moore was a "cunt" when asked about Moore possibly playing with Ozzy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
