I met Buzz when he was backing Rickie Lee-I don't remember his teeth being in that state???

[FeitenFan]

Evidently he has an overbite?

There are other pix where you can see that, especially on the Guitar LA cd., but it doesn't affect his guitar playing, fortunalty :-)

I met Buzz at Woodstock backstage - a friendly kid like myself - or so I thought! A friendly GIANT. I didn't know who he was at that moment. I asked him about the guitar he had with him, he opened the case, showed it to me - LET ME PLAY IT!!!Then I stood next to him on stage and was utterly transformed!

[FeitenFan]

That's an interesting story. I wish I was at Woodstock. I went to a lot of Southern USA Festivals at that time but not Woodstock. I met Buzz at 42nd St guitars about 3 years ago when he was playing with Weckle and he was extremely friendly and answered a lot of my idiotic guitar questions, but I did forget to ask him how to correctly play "Jungle Walk"

[pretorious700]

I played Jungle Walk in a band back in the day. The guitar part is not difficult, it's the wicked counter syncopation of the rhythm section that drives the tune.

[FeitenFan]

Yes,"Jungle Walk" is a great tune, also "Flip Flop"

I met Buzz when he was touring the UK with Weckl about 1998/99. We chatted after the show for about 5 minutes. I recall he was amazed that we had heard of the Larsen Feiten band over in England. When i told him my old band used to cover "Who'll be the FoolTonight" he was totally flabbergasted and humbled. A real gent and actually, it was me that was humbled more I think.

Have you considered a career in comedy .. I mean this is just solid genius stuff .. phew !

You should know better than most that talented and sensitive artists dont need that sort of comment ...

[KeepinBuzzy]

@allbuzzedup1

That needs to be withdrawn from here .. esp from a fan like you ...

[basssplayer]

Would love to see more of this! Seem to remember a bass solo; RLJ introducing Reggie McBride as the 'Man With The Golden Nipples"?!! (Or did I just make that bit up?)

[allbuzzedup1]

I have subsequently learnt that Reggie McBride painted in the tooth in question whilst Buzz took a little pre-show nap-further,that the road manager entered the dressing room just in time to stop Neil whipping one of our hero's eyebrows off!

Please note a very early leg lift-right at the end of the solo.

[Gorgolada]

Its licorice .probably .. . nothing to worry about .

[yippierb]

I don't know what she said into his ear but that solo kicked up a notch..or is it just my proclivity towards drunk chicks that makes me love her....Buzz is the Man.

I went to Harborfields too, class of '73. By then, Buzz was a legend. Thanks for the info on Wikipedia John.

This guy really needs a website!
