@ed_in_my_head@symeew13@VorkMike Was lucky enough to live in Austin from '87-'93
So many good guitar shows, like:
Jeff Beck opening for SRV - 1989
Shawn Lane (Eric J. was in the audience) - 1993
@TolyaZy@symeew13@VorkMike I mean, he’s from Austin. Every guitarist in Austin can fucking play. SRV, Ian Moore, fucking SRV’s #1 guitar was previously owned by Christopher. He even had Eric Johnson on some of his songs,
@TheExtremeMusi1 That's difficult.
Most influential overall of the hard rock/metal scene of the decade, helped guitar stores sell more guitars to teens...
No doubt.
But in 1984, a guitar player from Sweden released an album...
@paultguitarist@symeew13@ScottDorn628511 Beat me to it.
Close second 'Big Trouble'. That solo was peak Vai.
But have to go with 'Ladies Night'.
I think Sheehan was from Buffalo.
@symeew13@VorkMike Right?
The idea of Mr. 'Sailing' and 'Arthur's Theme' performing on the fly with Deep Purple in 1970!?!
What a formative experience for this future hit-maker.
@RetroNewsNow Was the Rocky Horror Picture Show actually the third-highest grossing film of 1975, or is this chart taking into account all the post-1975 showings and rentals?
@QueenAnticommie Fort Worth is more like a little Austin/Southern Cali now because it's been taken over by refugees from those areas. Pretty much a blue city now, not MAGA country.
