ice extended second lead! I saw him I think at Creation 82 with a pink and gray strat and thought, preppy, maybe? A nice and approachable guy; I helped him wrap cords up after a local show. Now where is that solo acoustic version of this song I saw one time...? Similar scat stuff in the end as with this one.
@abassplayer4life Right you are - you know your stuff. Then Greg goes to the E-Band and later Petra. So cool how some of the most amazing acts ever got their start. These guys truly paved musical paths that are still being walked upon today.
@fretworx I need to correct myself. You were more correct than I thought. First off, Doug co-wrote Just A Moment Away with Phil. Second, Greg X. Volz was putting together a project and Doug relocated to MO but the band folded shortly thereafter. Phil needed a bassist, drummer and backup vocal for a tour and Doug, Jerry Gaskill and Greg Volz joined Phil for about a year. Doug soon after saw Ty and brought in Jerry and The Edge was born. Name change to Sneak Preview which became King's X.
@abassplayer4life That's crazy cool! I had no idea, and I consider myself a pretty hardcore King's-X fan. I actually live in Spfd, MO from where they started, and have friends that hung w/them when getting their start. Heck, I've even got a 2x12 cab that Ty used to play through back in the day. But I've never heard the Keaggy connection - THANKS MILLIONS for clueing me in about that! That must have a been a fantastic sounding lineup...
@fretworx Funny you should say "Birth of King's X". This album/song has Doug Pinnick singing background vocals. And when Keaggy toured in the early 80's Doug played bass for him and Jerry Gaskill played drums. King's X were together at this time but they were known as "Sneak Preview".
greatest rock guitar song of all time and the fact to my knowlage its not really regerstered with "i read rolling stone so i know music"-mind set makes it even greater

Clapton couldnt carry Keaggy guitar case. I would love to see Beck and Keaggy jam together!

@airforcejim i agree totally . that was the point. Clapton is great and all, but Phil takes it to a whole 'nother level.
