Ever wonder where EVH came from ? Heh .... heh .... heh ....

Yum-yum ... ("Age restricted" , WTF ?!? Only in America .... the implication of a Nipple causes mass panic .)

Kind of an amusing Uli story . When I was a learning youngster , I Loved his Scorpions/Electric Sun output . By 19 , I was working hard to absorb it and learn some . Something like 'Polar Nights' was within reach , but 'Catch your train' simply wasn't possible . I turned everyone that I would meet on to Uli , most enjoyed his playing but hated his Voice (I found his singing overwhelmingly emotional , especially on the 'Firewind' album .) . So - I have a new Band that I'm trying to beat into shape (They want to smoke dope and play the dead/Tom Petty , I want to rehearse the same heavy tune 40 times in a row until it comes out right) and I discover Uli has a new record out ..... Finally score a copy at Dimple Records in Roseville , bring it to the Drummer's house to listen to it . I am shocked ! Where are the first 2 Electric Sun albums ??? WTF ?!? Not heavy , not ..... anything like what I was expecting . And Uli's Strat sounds very un-Stratty . I'd yet to learn about the Sky Guitar . Then this tune comes up - The break starts , and I stare at the turntable , quite unable to wrap my little Mind around what I am hearing . Sound with cascading emotions .... then the high parts at the end come thru . Up into Dog whistle land , I am even more dumbfounded and can do little more that continue to stare at the turntable . 36 years later , it still has the same effect on me . D.~
