As soon as I heard this video I said to myself that vocalist looks and sounds like Eric Martin, so I went to wiki and sure enough it is him. I remember Eric making the Bay Area music scene in the late 70's and we all appreciated what a gifted voice he had, but lamented the fact he was unable to find the right band. Mr Big sure sounds like a good fit, and I would like to catch this act in concert.
watched this video more than 500 times n never have enough of it... best cover ever! greatest fan of deep purple btw but hats off for mr big, they kickasssss!! anyone who comments negative is a prick n shouldn't be allowed to listen to music! :) MR BIG!
This an awesome version. richie's riff are not only melodic but they have a killer rhythm. They drive hard. This video is like virtuoso rock for dummies. In case you don't get it, i mean it's amazing musicianship that all can enjoy.
As a lifelong Blackmore and Malmsteen fan i think this i sbrilliant!!My reason is that music and composition should be used as inspiration and i think ppl who get hung up over note for note renditions are missing the point.It's about putting your identity and taking it somewhere else!!?Hope that makes sense and i hate it when ppl argue on here who is better than who etc,just enjoy this amazing medium and get ya guitar out in stead of typing about it!!haha.Oops now how do you play burn again!!??
fuck all who says that he sucks, i m not a fan ( i barelylisten to then =/) ... creativity and technic = good music, only technic all the time = oh ... i need another band to listen =/, creativity alone all the time = zzZzZzzzzzzZzzzzZzzz
Song is everything. You can not learn to write Smoke on the Water, Burn, Highway Star, Strange Kind of Woman, etc.etc. That is called creativity or genius.
But you can learn to play modes and appregios very, very fast. So mucht for who is who in Rock History.
Lets see.Deep Purple had a hit last when.1987 Play some new shit .Did Blackmores talent well go dry or did the hits only come for a certin amount of timeRock is big enough for all.Cant we all just dig the music.
@repetitivemotion You don't need to discredit Billy just because someone here gave maybe an enthusiastic but not so smart comment. If I say Kotzen is better than Hendrix (which is a dumb thing to say because it is dumb to compare guitarists) that doesn't mean you have to discredit Richie just because I said something stupid. Calm down brother! Billy is a great musician!
@thumperquimslit You must be joking! I don't care how great these guys are as players, they didn't write the song, Deep Purple did. There's more to playing music than just playing fast. You have to write good music first. Notice how you don't hear DP playing Mr. Big songs, it's the other way around, for a reason. Oh, and by the way, Blackmore's solo blow's Gilbert's away musically. And I like Gilbert.
@repetitivemotion If you like Gilbert, you should've been able to see that this isn't him. Also, there's way more to Kotzen's solo than just speed. It's melodically interesting, and Kotzen shows that he can create a perfectly good solo without having to copy Blackmore.
I still have the original guitar player magazines when Billy Sheehan and Paul Gilbert sent in tapes and were critiqued. Both were praised as people to look out for ....THIS IS WHY!
@RogerHwang not really, he truly sucks. maybe you are confused with true shredders with wanna-be like him? i never seen him playing FULL picking at all. just a lof of H&P which is easy to do
@papapumpy I really wanna see u play guitar hahaha probs suck ass right? and u think some loser thrash metal guitarists are cool? all they do is pick guitar off the beat and easy shit simple sweeps...
@papapumpy well,loads of songs are easy to play but are legendary.
technical proficiency doesnt dictate how good a song is.
technical proficiency simply allows the musician to go fast when they want and need to.
pink floyd is pretty easy to play.paul gilbert is better than david gilmour? both are good,paul can play faster with soul,gilmour can play with even more soul. so what is technical proficiency?1 good note,or 10 incredibly fast notes? impossible & nt meant to be judged,but appreciated
@finr0d You win. Please repost this on every guitar video on this freakin site. I love slow blues, I love shred. Why must the two always be battled over on comment boards. Shred vs Soul fights need to die.
@papapumpy Ok then, can you really do that? I don't think so, can you even have his feeling? Guitar is not all about shred, guitar is about many more things, and if you can't even realize that, then you're just a Yngwiefag but not a guitarist
THIS is serious.
