Someone on here said something like, death, you can take a break now....What a loss, and out of the blue. The Eagles, one of the best rock bands out of America, ever. Glenn, thanks for the music and memories. May your songs and music live on forever....
"Take it Easy" was the opening track of their 1st album. Co-written by Jackson Browne and Frey. Browne had started the song, but had stopped about half way through it. Frey, a neighbor heard what Browne had of the song already and asked him if he could finish it and put it on the Eagles 1st album. Browne agreed and the rest is history......

Most guitarist at the time either put their instrument in the closet and gave up, or started tapping and bought a flanger pedal. Though others had used some of the same techniques as Eddie, he coalesced them into his own unique sound. This is one tough band to find any kind of HQ recordings live from the 70's. I found this one from '79. ( must have gotten the sound off the sound board direct.) "You're no Good".

Van Halen - Job! 1984
With English subtitles.

Thanks for finding VH's famous song, "Job"! But alas, this was a lip sync video. I spent HOURS on my original search for this song the other day (Job) and just couldn't find one live. I ended up having to use the song in post 942.....Uhgg!! :stomp:
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Having been a lead guitarist for over 30 years, I can assure you that we take ourselves way too seriously. Santeri Ojala (StSanders) fixes that with a form of parody music that cuts our legs off at our knees. I can’t stop laughing, but I suppose the artists (some have successively sued/cease and desist) and their fans might not have the same sense of humor.
OTOH, a you’ll never see Ojala do a shred video of Charlie Christian, Chet Atkins or Django Reinhardt. They were much too talented, and maybe not so full of themselves.
Robert, we've got nothing on lead singers....They ALL have LSD.........Lead Singer's Disease!

Today is lead guitarist Tony Iommi's birthday. Tony lost the tips of his ring and middle fingers on his fret hand in a sheet metal plant on his last day on the job. He made himself some thimbles out of melted plastic bottles and covered them with leather to get a better grip on the strings. Here's to perseverance!
Here's a better shot of his right hand.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIoVoOfBHW0
