  • You need to see Nils at his solo shows to see the full scope of his talent.......other than a few solo's Bruce throws him, he is largely kept in bubble wrap.

  • Have seen Nils many times in MD / DC area on solo shows and with his band. He really knows how to use the guitar. - Actually I think he is in teh top 5 of all time greatest guitar players. Think Bruce knows that too. ... These last few tours, Nils has many more contributions that really add to the E street band. ...either way, he is living a dream

  • @htgeneral Ya, and Nils wasn't in 2011 Rolling Stone's Greatest of all time.....what a buch of morons at RS. Nils was a pioneer. He's the greatest living guitarist.

  • I was surprised by RS also. Nils is a killer guitar player and swing-man. We were fortunate enough to see him several times over the past 2 years at gigs around the East Coast. Awesome as always. You should see his talents on the song "Dream Big". he excels in the Harp, Tap and cane dance, electric guitar with his famous mouth picking...A few YouTube videos show this and I heard a more formal video release may be coming...oh ya..and more from the E street band this summer-sweet

see all

  • @BARRIEMOREBARLOW OH WOW, you just earned a LOT of respect from me for saying that! Just what I was thinking, I mean, they included people like Kurt Cobain in that list, and Bruce surely belongs in their Greatest Songwriters of all Time, too.

  • Most underrated guitar player of all time! He is incredible

  • Who is this guy playing the guitar with his heart and soul. (i know who it is)

  • Nils is simply the greatest guitar player ever-and the Boss knows it.Go Nils,go!

  • Saw Nils at the now defunct Bottom Line NYC~.Grown men wept!

  • nils.. man i absolutely love your style.. you've got a big heart.. and thanks for being a part of this e street band.. bruce is one of his kind.. but you are too.. god bless you..

  • WHAAAAWWWW. !!!

  • I think Nils is very talented but there's something about the continuous onslaught of harmonics and overtones that gets muddy sounding after a minute or two - he doesn't have a real crunch that IMHO is needed in some of these songs.
