Van Halen rocked Ridgefield, Washington yesterday, July 7th, and when it came time for Eddie to play his solo bit, Ima Starman grabbed his camera and filmed it. Thanks to this guy, we can see Eddie can still kill it on the guitar, and prove that he's still a master of the instrument!
There's a good chance you've never heard of the song "Amen, Brother" from the band The Winstons, a b-side released in 1969.
But there's a very good chance that you've heard what is referred to as the "Amen, Brother" break, a six-second drum solo that appeared in the middle of the song.
Ever wonder what some of your favorite bands would sound like if they'd made a different choice for their lead guitar player?
Maybe Marty Friedman had joined Metallica, or Kirk Hammett was the guy in Motley Crue...Steve Vai had given up the solo career to join Pantera? Randy Rhodes was playing his leads for Arch Enemy?
WTF?
