Let me tell ya something, i saw Brian a few years ago when he played with the Atomic Punks. This guy is flawless. i have played guitar most my life and i have seen a ton of players,there is no one closer to Eddie than this guy. if you think your better or closer to Eddie than this guy , than make a video and put it on here. put on the top THE CLOSESEST THINK TO EDDIE, and see who agrees with you Pluckotron?
Look at all these 'bedroom virtuosos' talking shit. His name is Brian Young. He got a gig with David Lee Roth, the legend. What have you shit-talkers done? That's right...NOTHING. While you are TRYING to play guitar, he was actually doing it. Moved to Hollywood, played his ass off, got the gig. Shut the fuck up and respect him.
this guy doesnt sound as much as eddie as russ parrish did,i thought that was the whole point and the upside down headstock sucks as do the emg's fucksake,like eddie used those sure -.-
His guitar looks cool...so does the upside down headstock. Eddie is the one who can't make up his mind on what guitar to play...Frankenstrat, Kramer, Ernie Ball, Charvel, Fender. What, you can't insult Brian's playing, so you insult his guitar? Way to go. Do you want him to go buy the new EVH Fender for $35K? I suppose you want him to smoke and get his tongue cut off like Eddie so he can look more 'authentic' to suit your tastes? Brian is awesome, and DLR thought so too. Don't be a dick.
Whats up your ass ? I NEVER said this guy is a bad player,ofc he isnt.What i DID say is that i prefer Russ Parrish playing over his,as i think he is better at mimicing Evh wich is the whole point of the band.He COULD do what parrish did and get a wayne charvel guitar made with the same templates as eddies original guitar.
Ok, but how can you be so judgmental? You seem to be wanting to go for accuracy, but look at the WAYNE guitar headstock. That's not like Eddie's at all. It's such an awkward cut on a headstock. It's a Fender headstock with the end cut off. And Russ wears a wig, but you don't seem to be so picky about that? You're being too critical. Sheesh.
i dont like the headstock up side down and the rosewood finger board look or the EMG pups, looks wrong wit he the whole striped EVH thing, but it sounds fucking good!!
why is he a clown i respect how dedicated this guy is to have learned something that came naturally to Eddie, but not necessarily to him. he might have had to practice his ass off to copy all that was required to do this gig. to eddie he just does what ever he wants. who are you to judge this guy he is very talented
FYI, this is Brian Young...DLR's current guitarist. Nothing against Russ Parrish, but Brian plays much more fluently and confidently. The Atomic Punks' site used to have some incredible audio files of Brian 5-7 years ago...some killer Zep solos too!
You are absolutely right. Nothing against Russ, but Brian Young is probably the best Eddie clone on the planet. Think about it--why else would DLRoth have chosen Brian for his tour?
well I think Al Estrada is the best EVH clone, except AL Estrada would not insult himself and play with rubbish like DLR, just because he plays for DLR doesnt mean his the best evh clone, I dont think guys are linig up toplay with DLR?
SHEESH!!!This guy has to much time on his hands...LMAO...FUCKIN AYE

I have to agree with Sunedosa.
While this chap does an amazing 'f-ing' job, Russ Parrish is "BANG ON" at getting the Eddie sound, taste, and feel.
It's UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I couldn't believe it when I first heard him.
I had to play it over and over and over again.
Again, this dude is excellent too, but Russ Parrish has perfected his "Eddie-ness".

Brian DOES do a good job of playing the licks of Eddie. Ralph wouldn't have kept him in the band for that long if he wasn't.

Calling him white boy.. classy. Plus you don't even have a video of you playing anything. Much less this, better than al estrada.
