I'm with you Tom. Paul Gilbert is my goto for guitar wankery these days. Just the right balance of cheese and chops. That said I could never be arsed with Mr Big. He's a massive and pretty vocal fan of one of your lots own lads, Ginger Wildheart from South Shields. Back to EVH, I honestly can't ever remember choosing to stick on a Van Halen album but I'd be lying through my teeth if I said he'd never influenced my guitar playing. More than half of the nonsense I listen to and obsess over probably wouldnt exist if it weren't for Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first guitar teacher was Danny McCormack who fucked off to play bass with the Wildhearts. My second guitar teacher was his younger brother Chris who played guitar in Three Colours Red, and last I checked is Gary Numan's guitar teacher. End of boring story. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than any any of my claims to fame. I love the Wildhearts, especially Danny. That first Yo-Yos album is brilliant. Chris McCormack on the other hand isn't all that popular up this way. 3CR weren't bad (very "of their time" to be fair) and Chris ended up the main guy to speak to for gigs at the Ironworks up in Inverness. From what I gather was fairly likeable until he got involved with organising the Skye music festival. Now he's largely blamed for pissing the festival budget up the wall and the main reason there's no longer a Skye music festival. Don't quote me on that.

He’s got a genuine passion for teaching & informing. Plus he can shred like mad & his best tracks have no singing. I think everyone’s went down the route of the Van Halen tapping thing at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17079 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Nobby Stiles, 78 The phrase "working class hero" seems like an 20th century cliche in these times, but to me he epitomised the ordinary lad who was worshipped by millions. RIP Nobby, they'll never be another like you... Edited October 30, 2020 by PaddockLad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42064 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Aye, one the rare ones when you feel genuinely saddened to hear of his passing for me. Can’t imagine any footballer today who’d be prepared to be seen with no front either RIP to a proper legend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
