zorrow Posted March 26, 2018 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!
zorrow Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 Ah! Just remembered another one —Brad Gillis’ “Gilrock Ranch”. There should be more...
YEN Posted March 26, 2018 Posted March 26, 2018 One of my all time instrumental favorites 😄 Don't forget Gary Hoey 😄 Neil Zaza of course😄 Jan Cyrka is from across the pond 😄

If you mean the title, here’s a hint: it contains the name or a Hamer model, and “Ballroom” it is not.

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.

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.

PS4 FTW Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Kind of an obscure one, but the back of Rockit by Widow has a Hamer.

I remember a thread on mylespaul a few years ago, where one guy just lit into gary moore as the most miserable jerk ever.. can't find the thread, but he was very specifc lol... sounded like he was in the industry in England...
zorrow Posted March 27, 2018 Author 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!

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.

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.
