slash was ok, Neil and whoever that other dude was were awful, and Brian is just too cool. he does the least out of all of them, but says the most - love it!
Thanks for this video. What a great bunch of talented guys on this one stage. The greatest guitar player of all time time is the fantastic Trevor Rabin. What year was this filmed? Nice to see all of these guys perform.
Neal Schon is surely great as a guitarist, technically almost perfect, but to me there is no soul in his playing, he can't play the blues - I prefer Slash, maybe he's not Kossoff, but sometimes he seems to be close...
didnt theese guys play 2 songs...? they played this one and then they also played crossroads.... does anyone know where to find it? it was on youtube but got deleted because of copyright crime.....

I love each of these guitarists. BUT~yikes. This vid serves as a great example of how NOT to play blues. They're all too concerned with being "impressive" other than "expressive". Unfortunately none are impressive (nor expressive)
I've been listening to him since 1969 and still think he has the best voice ever! This is Paul at his best. I couldn't help thinking he was selling out, singing with Queen. Although I like Queen, Paul has something really special and his talent lies in soulful compositions and blues in particular!
True! So hard to fathom Paul hooking up w/Queen. I love Queen.. but thats surely not a good fit IMO. Nothing in the world 'soulful' about Queen.
Paul is certainly one of the best and most talented vocalists to ever pick up a mic. He's in my top faves! He was great with Free, Bad Co. and the Firm.. and like a fine wine.. just get's better w/age. He's sexier now than ever before! ;-)
So true! Neal Schon isn't a "blues" guitarist either... but, he can play the blues and make it work. I think Neal is a far better guitarist across the board.. than Slash. But, Slash is great @ what he does.. when he's in his own element.
Who cares who played the "best" solo? This is entertaining, the crowd loved it, the boys were having fun and sharing that with the audience. Thats all that really matters. Also it seems that Paul Rogers voice just keep gettin better, if thats possible.
Lads, I know who slash is, I was just being facetious, Cause I think Slash is a crap guitarist, Paul might have gotten some street cred by having the man in the top hat play on his album, you know and I know there a lot better choices for a guest guitarist. Ok you can have your say and try to convince me how great Slash is but your waisting your time, cause I've moved on and am watching a Les Paul video.
I actually got to meet Paul and Neal Schon outside of Harpos night club after this concert in detroit he was a great humble guy shook all our hands and bullshitted with us while the band was waiting for their limo .
WHAT A MORON!! xD. cant bealive u dont who slash is. Lets Just say he is one of the FEW. keeping Real ROCK N ROLL ROLL ALIVE in a world full of POSERS.
Brian's solo was the only one actually played with soul. He didn't overspeeded it, like the rest of guitarists did, he played good, trying to keep the melody, not the speed of solo.
True to an extent. Nothing wrong with Slash's, it was just a tad out of place. He played with a million times more taste than Schon and Rabin, and Setzer with about 100 times more taste than Slash 8)
of course slash is one of the best players in the world. it doesnt matter if someone plays fast or slow... but he must find the feeling for the song and on this bluestrack slash got best bluesfeeling... he got enough solos on his own songs with gnr, snakepit or velvet who are as fast as johns guitarplaying and miles better
Setzer gets it right on this one. The other guys have to remember not to get greedy when you play. Tribute to blues, with a little of your own lics in there, but not lightning un-emotional leads? There are guys in Chicago right now who can draw you into that song and yo will get lost in their dynamics and coolness. That was white boy 'lurchy' blues. Setzer nice job though.
Well put, but Slash did a good job too. I love his playing, this wasn't the BEST, but it was decent. Rabin and Schon sucked. I've seen Journey and Schon plays much better than that, he just wanked off. Setzer trumps 'em all
I expected much better.The only one who played with any real degree of feeling was Setzer,this sounded what soulless white guys playing the blues should sound like. And I think Johnny Winter is a god.They need to tone it down and turn down the amps.Loud does not equal jamming,got that rockheads?? And Slash is just ok,and to be honest ,that 8 year old Quinn Sullivan blows all of these, save Setzer,away.

Hey mantaslash ,keep cool , there are 25000 guitar player like slash and another 50000 that are better, but he knows how to wright some good songs, that 's what makes the difference.
You guys who says Slash is bad.. You don`t have a clue on what ya talking about..
Slash is one out of the best guitar players in the world.. No one plays with so much feeling as Slash.. He`s the man!
GeorgAlberto1985: Grow up, if you know so much about guitar playing you should know better than trash talking Slash.. But cause your just a KID I`ll forgive you..
Slash, in my humble opinion is indeed all about a look and lifestyle. His guitar playing is mediocre. Robin Trowers version of this song is without a doubt the very best.
guys slash doesn't now how to play amazing solos i think he was the worst of all. and then we have neal schon, this is the man he nows how to play guitar he's great.
@tanselturna dude...listen to sweet child o mine....its just a super simple repetitive chord progression. Neal schon and brian may are a couple of the best out there in my oppinion.
@camarorider67 i agree with you but slash is still making music and he gains lots of respect.. axl is still using drugs and now, he sings like shit :) my all credits going to slash ;)
Brian Setzer stuck to the blues scales and riffs as well. The others stepped outside but all rock is blues based. Slash does not stand out as a memorable guitarist. His is more of a look and lifestyle fame. Of the bunch Trevor Rabin gets a major penalty using too many effect gadgets to enhance his sound.
