I thought he played Bark and ever RDC gig.   He did. I have seen the videos. He didn’t do the outro solo, and I figured it was because c’mon, it is the hardest part of the song to play, and even then I figured he was having a hard time with it already. But it was a few years ago and that disease ca...

I get where you are coming from, but Tipton was there, at least in the video he shows up.
 

Also, you fly Jake all the way out there, and he doesn't get to play Bark? Even with one of the cover bands? WTF?   :confusion-shrug:     Not their fault. Jake has been quite vocal to the fact that he can’t play that song anymore. Arthritis is a bitch. He chose Ultimate Sin himself as the one he wa...

Not bad, but TBH, Judas Priest doesn't swing . Zakk does a better job with this.    Yup. Travis is a very mechanical drummer, IMHO. He sounds like a machine most of the time. Great for ripping your head off, as in Painkiller , but he can't pull a Bill Ward or a Phil Rudd. And this of course drives ...

Glenn is apparently retiring after this. Saw it on FB the other day. He really seems unable to go on, and I for one am sad for that. He was one of my favorite players ever and a huge influence on me at a very formative age. 
 

My Roadhouse Strat has the Texas Special pickups. It also has a switchable preamp, which I tend to turn on when I'm doing anything remotely crunchy. If I was going for a strictly Dino tone, I'd definitely look for a bridge pickup that's a bit rounder in the midrange with more output, but I have ple...

Great job. Probably your best yet.

The overall tone seems a bit more compressed than the original VH1 one, but I get it might be the recording. For such an (in)famously elusive sound, you are damn close.

What are you using in the chain? Pickup? amp? etc. 

Oh no, I did not see this one coming at all.

A true musical genius. The 20th century musical movement wouldn't be the same without him.

RIP Brian.

Yeah, it is a bit weird. I saw a post yesterday, then nothing. I saw another one earlier today and went to wikipedia, where I suppose anyone could add it. Hopefully it is a hoax.

Not much online yet, but apparently Rick Derringer passed away yesterday.

Not sure if there might be many fans of him here. I think he was mostly famous for playing with both Johnny and Edgar Winter. He was a big name in guitar playing for a bit back in the day, I suppose.

RIP Rick.
