Betcha cant play this-Doug Aldrich (whitesnake)

[Joebergz94]

the quality is too low, you can see aldrich playing like a god if you look at his live solo's with whitesnake.

[ShakerCuda71]

Maybe if it had some more distortion I'd be able to pick that up

[petrucciphan]

"Hi, I'm doug aldrich and I bet your speakers can't handle this" lol

[thehowards6]

This doesn't even come close to doing this guy justice. I have heard him rip the cleanest leads you will find anywhere. He was never an Yngwie type player, but he always has had the best "touch", or at least top five, I have ever heard. The audio quality on this is the issue.

[ChaosBurnsWithin]

@absoluteGODhatred the real video is actually really awesome. someone distorted the audio to make him sound bad

[FlankinspanK]

Its got Zakk Wylde all over it

[mobileman23]

laughable!! what a joke. go back to school. Remember style? geez

[MagnumBullets47]

Sounds a lot better slower. Much more feeling.

[mikebecker330]

I bet you're right!



[shreddybits]

HI THIS IS DOUG ALDRICH AND I BET YOU CAN'T HEAR THIS. 

[Nenad5150]

Hey guys listen to his live whitesnake dvd solo. His tone there is amazing

[mojoefly]

new category "BETCHA DON'T WANNA HEAR THIS"

[karlg182]

lol too true it was shite

[sovarelteo47]

What the fuck?It sounds like a piece of shit.I CAN play this,but never will!

[justfine77777]

I could not have put it better myself.

[Njal55]

Congratulations that sounded awful!

[TheHabit00]

turn the volume down next time youm record your redlining

[ohmygooooood]

excelent audio, my head's just explode!!

[Stillbornone]

The very start riff reminds me of the intro to Ravenous by Arch Enemy!

[mulholland1985]

well shitty tone i must say

[pkingrockz]

personally i think this is way better slow, and thats probably how it started, just he decided to make it a bit faster.

[deliriouscouture]

holy shit doug. you're good (as usual) but that tone is awful.

[kneeseb]

yeh megadeth are shit and dave mustaine is a ass hole. period.

[Knuckles669]

Go fuck yourself, rapper!

[ikonxp]

YEAH! GO TEACH HIM A LESSON KNUCKLES!

[PetriHun]

horrible guitar sound

[DaveSustaine]

doug sucks & whitesnake are gay...

need i say more?

[ytimachev]

dude your fucking stupid Whitesnake is awsome..your just one of those little punks that like to rant about something you cant play you little bitch

[DaveSustaine]

fuck off theyre hair metal it demands no talent its like 10% about the music thats where metallica came in you faggott

[bonfirejovi]

hair metal involves no talent? your fucking retarded.... i mean really retarded. next thing you going to be telling the kurt cobain is the guitarist of the century. fuck off. i challenge you to play wingers seventeen, or yngwie malmsteen, or paul gilbert, or michael angelo batio, or steve vai or andy timmons, or eddie van halen, or slash.

all the greatest guitarists were hair metal guitarist. oh and fuck kurt hammet and his sloppy ass playing.

[DaveSustaine]

how can you say that? you obviously dont play guitar. jimi hendrix, eric clapton, stevie ray vaughan, jimmy page, angus young, possibly the 5 most influential guitarists of all time & your trying t say the best guitarists are all hair metal? & most of the people you said either arent hair metal or suck. MAB has no style, & if he does it has no feeling, eddie van halen kind of is, but you cant compare motley crue to van halen, slash isnt, steve vai definately isnt, uno nothing about guitarists

[bonfirejovi]

i do play guitar and all those guitarist you mentioned are great and they are all top 5 guitarists but i was replying to you saying that "hair metal requires no talent" and it obviously does.

motley crue, van halen, steve vai (who played in fucking whitesnake and david lee roth is hair metal), guns n roses are all fucking hair metal whether you like it or not. dude just cause james hetfield said hair metal was bad doesnt mean it was. any metallica song is easier to play than sevnteen (winger).

[DaveSustaine]

dude i get where your coming from but its not just about how difficult your songs are, thats not talent. they have plenty of skill, well guns and roses dont but theyre not hair metal anyway, & kirks solos arent difficult at all i know, i can play most of his stuff, but it sounds awesome & btw lars is an amazing drummer. another thing is metallica were dirt poor & lars couldnt get into juliard if he wanted to. they have meaning & political views in their songs. the main reason i dont like hair

[bonfirejovi]

umm lars couldnt get into julliard because he had no talent, and i love metallica but lars is a terrible drummer.... he doesnt even enjoy what hes doing anymore and goes on jogs instead of practicing (real musicianship). also jon bon jovi was cleaning toilets in new jersey (on of the poorest districts in new york) so none of them were by any means rich.

guns n roses are hair metal, they had the hair and the make -up so they are hair. have you not seen the welcome to the jungle video?

[DaveSustaine]

yeah i have but wheres the fucking makeup in that? & all rock bands have hair, not like motley crue though. & even if guns n roses were that would be a good example of not needing any talent as slash's mum knew loads of famous musicians, they never needed to be that good. she slept with david bowie ffs. & lars ulrich nowadays is a cunt i know but in the early days he ruled like in one & battery. he also used to play standing up. hes like the only person ever to do that.

[bonfirejovi]

your so stupid... "LARS IS THE ONLY PERSON TO PLAY DRUMS STANDING UP". please tell that to an accomplished drummer and they will laugh at you. in the welcome to the jungle video axl, duff and steven all have hair metal hair and make-up. izzy looks like a punk and slash looks like hobo.

and where did you get this info that slash's mum slept around with david bowie? his drumming on battery is atrocious. good thrash drummer is dave lombardo. btw JAMES IS METALLICA.

[ikonxp]

metallica. james may be metallica now, but if it wasnt for cliff and/or mustaine, hed probably be a local 50 year old sellin records and moppin the whisky a gogo's floor now.

mustaine introduced the entire heavy thing, and cliff polished and nurtured it with theory he had from the previous experience with the piano. so stfu gaylo

[DaveSustaine]

Cliff didn't have that much theory, nowhere near as much as Jason, & James did a larger fraction of the songwriting than Dave & had an awesome voice which suited it, so what u said is ballocks.

[ikonxp]

first of all cliff played piano when he was a kid, i didnt say he was bach, but he had the knowledge.

dave had a badass voice and james picked it up more or less. its still awesome wherever it came from.

jason played crap solos made from A Minor and C major and he stole half the chord patterns from anesthesia pulling teeth.

he could only go and entertain people as he had charisma, and i dont know if you already know but jason is homosexual. really.

and its bollocks not ballocks.

[DaveSustaine]

I don't give a shit what u say anymore, because Jason was the classically trained one with the expierience in music theory. Just because you play piano doesn't mean u know alot about music theory it's not just a classical instrument uno, & incase u didn't notice, James was the singer, he had always been the singer, never Dave, he was a back-up singer at the most, Jason played crap solos cos he wasn't that good but he taught them how to write cleverly & how to use octaves in riffs like in Sandman

[roguenoobkiller]

dude, cliff was the awesoem one jason was just a bass player, more or less a stand in

[DaveSustaine]

Yeah Cliff was a much better bassist, but Jason was classically trained & taught them alot about music theory. Not stuff they really needed to know, but you know what I mean. Cliff is awesome but he didn't have as much knoledge about writing songs as a classically trained musician would see as correctly. I'm not dissing Cliff, he's my favourite all time bassist, & Jason was like u said just a bass player, but he was good enough for metallica, that counts for something.

[roguenoobkiller]

if he was classicly traind i dont think that got put to any use

[DaveSustaine]

Yeah fair enough. I do't think it counts for shit technically anyways

[DaveSustaine]

& alot of people say ballocks. fair enough it's in the dictionary as bollocks, but i cba to do a fucking spell check every comment i write.

[DaveSustaine]

metal is cos theyre just in it for the money & women, whereas metallica never made a record just to sell records, they made what they wanted to make.

[bonfirejovi]

its sounds to me that you prefer lyrics to music, who cares what they write about. mozart and bach didnt need lyrics to convey emotion. and it is the most 'up your own ass' thing for a rock band to write song based on their limited understanding of the political world.

ac/dc also made party songs, so did aerosmith and van halen and g n' r. regardless of what they were in it for they produced some very melodic and complex music. see steve vai or queensryche's music which were both hair artists.

[DaveSustaine]

no i dont prefer lyrics to music but if you get some amazing talented guy sining about how much he hates blacks im not gonna listen to it. yeah if theyre just about partying all the time then fair enough but its gay when they write about being party animals or whatever & really arent. also, rage against the machine has awesome lyrics but i also listen to it cos the riffs are fucking heavy

[bonfirejovi]

which hair band sang about hating black people? oh believe me hair bands were notorious for being party animals... heavy metal artists in general actually.

anyway at the beginning you said that hair metal required no talent and i think ive proven that it does.

btw im guessing your a dave mustaine fan so just cause dave cumstaine says hair metal is bad does mean you have to think the same way he does. i love both thrash and hair and rage against the machine.

[DaveSustaine]

dave mustaine likes hair metal, & it doesnt require talent, you could have a shit guitarist in a hair metal band & no one would care. some of them may be fast, but thats not talent. & everyone knows heavy metal bands in general are notorious for being party animals but not hair metal, cos when you sing about partying its generally cos u dont party alot. bands that really did party alot sing about similar stuff in a way but u can just tell when theyre just being a poser or not

[ikonxp]

dave doesnt like glam.

glam: faster pussycat

hair metal: dokken

and dokken as a hair metal band was hard to play when lynch was in it. do me mr scary or kiss of death and itll do the trick, mr sustaine

but glams gay and no we cant be a nice lil family coz i dont want to live around gayasses such as motley crue.

megadeth is megadeth its irreplaceable

[DaveSustaine]

Dave doesn't like Glam, I know, he hates everything about it like all original Thrash Metal bands, I dunno why I said that I must have been drunk or something. But he did say once he likes GnR, although it seemed like he was just saying it cos he'd been hanging out with Slash recently. & it doesn't matter how hard it was to play, my point is it's a well known fact that glam & hair metal is more about what u look like than the music.

[ikonxp]

thats true.

and i know about the gnr stuff, they dont seem to be as gay as those glam dudes.

metallica toured with em once and theres a pic of axl mustaine and urlich.

and he said he likes gnr in tht japanese interview

dude xD i know bout megadeth a lot so i dont think theres a need to argue about that.

[DaveSustaine]

Yeah, but when they toured together Dave was out of the band & James Hetfield just took the piss out of Axl the whole time & Axl just acted like the pussy he is. He said something about a fight through the press, but James said if he had something to say to Axl he would say it to his face.

[ikonxp]

thts true. cause axl is a gayass just like every other hair teasing son of a bitch

[IamTheRedneck]

Cant we all be one big happy metal family?

[bonfirejovi]

no. im sick of people saying that megadeth are one of the best metal acts ever. they are crap and have always been crap. every song sound the same. the last time i saw them at a festival i slept, it was that boring.

[IamTheRedneck]

Stop the civil war

[DaveSustaine]

& dis kirk all you like, metallica are only the most successful metal band of all time. & for the record, bon jovi suck balls. they have no talent, its just a twat in spandex, & hes a sellout cunt

[bonfirejovi]

first of all bon jovi had the most successul tour of 2008 and while they may suck now (just like metallica) they had loads of talent: richie sambora was a natural guitarist with plenty of feel (check out his solo album), david bryan was accepted into julliard music school (id like to see lars ulrich do that), tico torres studied with many great jazz drummers. so they are an all around band who definetly have the chop.

and while i love kirk he is still sloppy.

[ikonxp]

samboras a nice guy n all.

but dude, as dave mustaine once said:

"Glam stands for Gay LA Music"

[DaveSustaine]

He actually said Gay LA Metal, but the ideas still the same.

[ikonxp]

music u motherfucking know it all, try watching the movie again :)

[ikonxp]

saxon introduced spandex but the gaylords didnt get the point and ruined the idea...

[DaveSustaine]

fair enough.

[polishcomedy]

garbage tone

[bridgfordbill]

if u listen to the his voice then u realise that its how its been recorded that makes it sound shit

[helrazr]

While Vai eclipses Aldrich I kinda agree with this guy. Vai in Whitesnake is like hiring an astronaut to manage a carwash.

[jtonessimo]

yeah true, now that whitesnake is just pathetic now a days..

[Nenad5150]

Doug is a much better guitarist for whitesnake. He may not be a better guitarist, but he is for that kind of music than steve vai. Its like putting joe satriani in nickleback or something lol. Just doesn't work.

[jtonessimo]

whitesnake?

gimme a fucking break lol

steve vai was so much better...

[ve4mm]

10-4

[RealRiffs]

indeed he was.

[shredking001]

i agree but u cant say doug is bad lol

[jtonessimo]

yah but you cant say steve vai isnt amazing lol

[AAGuitar123]

yeah your wrong, Vai is a much better guitarist, but i think Aldrich fits Whitesnake better

[LbYs]

Why is the audio quality so HORRIBLE

[drowzy721]

the tone isnt that bad

i love dougs badass tone

[zipfelpeterguitar]

check out the vid of him and reb beach jam.. his tone is great

[zipfelpeterguitar]

name of the video is "Doug Aldrich - Reb Beach challenge" I just noticed there's several Beach&Aldrich vids.

[mad87645]

ok then everyone stop playing folow the leader and ranting the tone. the recorder I used obviously isnt good for sound. If you want to hear the better sound quality then look for the version of this by guitarworld

[machnawe]

I can almost play that, I cant get all the string noise though. He must have that new program Guitar Suck Augmentor 2000

[negroqlao]

good shred, bad tone :/

[UNCtarheelvids]

i wouldn't even want to play that. it sounds awful

[VirtuosoJunkie73]

That's possibly the worst guitar tone I've ever heard....

[EXnitroxxxxx]

I bet that the sound came from shit-planet.

[mad87645]

say 1st comment and ill have you castrated

[Niox117]

lol
