@fraroc No wonder why he dresses like Randy (eho dressed like Ronson) and top youtube suggested video is Randy's solo.
Yes, I totally agree. "Uncle Jimmy Page" (@kortes1975) I don't know about... "father figure Randy" I can bet on (take that, Zakk!). And yet, Doug is a TRUE ORIGINAL.
Doug Aldrich is the tone king and vibratto king. I LOVE this solo...as a matter of fact I'm going to cover this whole solo tonight at my show. I can't stop playing it. Doug ROCKS!!!!!
@dmcothern Doug rocks and so do you Dave! ;-) Thank you for doing that solo rockstar! Happy that I inspired you to rock that one up.. I loved it! Hope to see you do it again soon! \m/\m/
@beebop129 No, Slash is definitely not garbage, check Sweet Child O Mine and Nightrain solos, for exemple. what I meant (I wrote this comment a long time ago), is that compared to him, Doug Alrich is clearly underrated, and seem way better when he plays live. I've discovered him with this video.
@FlapSkate I don't say the contrary, and I love Slash as well, one of my first inspiraters: Sweet Child O Mine, Nightrain, Paradise City, Coma, Don't Damn me... are perfect exemples of what Slash can do, I just meant that compared to him, Doug Aldrich is clearly underrated compared to him, and is better on stage. Moreover, I'm quite dissapointed of what Slash does nowadays. I think he can do way better. His best time was with GNR, when he just was a hero...
I think in all my years loving this music from this era, I just heard the best guitar solo in my life! WOW! Love Whitesnake, just never heard such a beautiful solo.WOW.
People forget that Doug an Zakk come from a generation of metal where most of the guitarists had the same sound because of the Les Paul guitars they used lol
@666wrathofheaven666 agree man...gibsons always have that gain that guitarist luv because they made the sound so heavy w/o putting much effort but.......strats and teles....you've got to be one hell of a guitar player to pull off some unthinkable stuff...IMO..lol!
@infinityjet, not only has he been around longer then zakk wylde, his shredding is way different then zakk's. Zakk wylde likes to play staccato, or pick almost all of his notes in a solo. Doug is way more legato with his playing. more hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Staccato playing is a lot easier than legato in my opinion. I can nail a Kirk Hammett solo (not saying much really), but a Richie Kotzen solo, or Aldrich, Beach etc. So hard to do
Seymour Duncan Alnico II Pro in the bridge.. the neck pickup may be the Aldrich prototype or the stock Burstbucker.. but I do remember that Doug told he had the prototype in this concert. Cheers
@Andrewkc6 i agree with you 100% i think im bias bcoz im a huge whitesnake fan but i prefer him over slash and most others, i know ill get some bad comment about saying that but fuck it its my opinion. but... yeah amazing solo lol
Zakk Wylde? o.O
Slash?
are u kiddin' me?
