Steve Haynie Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Sometimes you want to practice after seeing a show like that. THEN you want to burn your gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTMN Posted July 22, 2018 Author Share Posted July 22, 2018 I love Rawk stories! Life IS Good!. Watched YJM shoot pool before playing at a gig in downtown St. Pete. way to many years ago.He was nice enough to all around him while I watched from about 2 ft. away mid table. Never took off his sunglasses though and the chick he was playing with had a good time almost beating him at 8 ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diablo175 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 2 hours ago, Ed Rechts said: I know it has become de rigueur to talk shit about Yngwie, but when he starts playing, he is truly jaw-droppingly talented. Totally worth the ticket to witness his ability. My time with Vai, (with Satch, Eric Johnson and Alex Skolnick) are already documented herein. My only run-in with YJM was back in the mid 80's when he was doing a record signing in a local record store (remember those things?) in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, before a show that night. He was as much a pompous ass as expected. When I handed him my copy of Marching Out, he scribbled his sig on it and dismissively tossed it back at me. Common treatment for awestruck fanboys, I'm sure. Still, it left an impression on me, one that has only been reinforced over the years via stories like Ed Recht's. And yes, his skill is very impressive, but like his shitty attitude, I can only handle so much before I put on some music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. I don’t let personalities factor into what I listen to. I don’t have to hang out with rockstars, so why would I care if they were, “cool”, or not? Zappa was a dismissisive prick and an intellectual snob and I still listen to his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personalities that I encounter first hand? Yeah, I guess I did let it influence my listening... to a degree. Like I said, I am impressed with his chops and skill but I stopped buying his albums not long after encountering him in P-burgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Moore told me to fuck off when I told him how wonderful I thought his clinic was when I was a teenager. Still love his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studio Custom Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Anyone else have trouble believing Rechts had a girlfriend? At least she wised up (if she was real to begin with). 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAMERMAN Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thanks for sharing that Ed - too funny! It says it all that Via was just chilling out being a regular guy at the pool while Yngwie is busy yelling at somebody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
