Dokken revisited

[dieseldust]

yup, tungod sa pagka "mad" daghan na ni syag shows nga na-cancel ky pirmi hubog I like UFO too, his former band...Mura'g mao ni sya'y nagpauso sa flying V nga guitar? gi-kopya daun nilang Dave Mustaine ug Kirk Hammett. Pero fan man pud daw sila aning Michael Schenker.

Ganahan sad ko atong iyang AOR nga grupo katong Mcauley Schenker Group. Though, gmay ra sila albums nahimo but most of their songs are melodic. Naa gyapon ko'y tape ani nga BASF sauna. Naa ddto ang akong fave nga song "anytime"

It's the brother of Michael Schenker, Rudolf who introduced him to flying v guitars...In early days, Michael used to play with les paul, but when his brother Rudolf brought home his first flying v, Michael turned his interest to Rudolf's guitar and as an older brother, he gave his way to Michael..try to watch music video of 'Im Going Mad' by scorpions...see Michael Schenker in his early days with his les paul...

I agree scorpions got the best guitarists ever from Michael, Uli, to Mathias era...actually there were sayings that Uli is the pioneer of shred and neo-classical rock...i think Rudolf isn't so good at guitar but without him as a composer, i don't think scorpions would achieve their success...

robotman, hello bro! yah, i guess the schenker bros were the early users of the flying v in hard rock & metal action...&, of course there was kk downing of priest too...then rhoads, mustaine. hammet followed suite...

i guess roth is 1 of the pioneering, if not the pioneer, neo-classical rock guitarist...i was blown away with his use of the phrygian scale (& a little bit of mixolydian) in 'sails of charon'...

the greatest rock band to ever come out of germany really did have quite an array of impressive axemen : schenker, roth, jabs...& it is with the band's powerhouse of honed talents that made it 1 of the greatest bands of the rock era...rock you like a hurricane

scorpions was my first tape ever. BASF types of tapes bought somewhere in asia. my seaman uncle always buy these kind of tapes. those glam bands tapes ive mentioned earlier in this thread were bought only locally.. welcome dieseldust, robotman.. let me share bout this uli jon roth. he was the guitarist before mathias jabs came on board in 1979. i like his riffs style as well as his unique guitar. pictured life and lifes like a river were done beautifully. sounds like the notes came from their hearts. i have a dvd scorpions live in wacken 2006, its like a homecoming to them. they performed their classic songs like rock you like a hurricane, bad boys running wild, loving you sunday morning, big city nights, the zoo, blackout, make it real, coming home and more. herman rarebell, uli jon roth and michael schenker were their special guests. i cannot compare this german group to any of my fav glam hair bands. everybody has his own style of music. although every musician grows older but their music lives on forever.. i did not grow up listening to msg or aor but i know they also got what it takes to be in billboard charts.
i mentioned bout my piano lessons, i admit i find it little boring. i was still in 5th grade though. but when i started hearing these scorpions, black sabbath and acdc, things changed. i even gave up my time with my friends playing those hide and seek or war games because im more passionate with listening to the sound of an electric guitar. when i reached high school, that was the time i started to have many friends, trading of tapes or music magazines. i still remember when me and my dude planned to create an electric guitar evh copy. i said to him its impossible. and he said wel just have this page from a circus magazine which has a schematic diagram about guitar like pick ups or useful infos photocopied and ask a carpenter to cut from a mahogany piece of wood for guitar body and then wel be naturally wired..all fired up.. but we never had it done.
can i asked something bro? who invented the floyd rose bridge and what year? i think when the first van halen album came out in 1978, eddie's guitar was just a fender strat. and earlier of that time or years, there was just ritchie blackmore, toni iommi, angus young.. all i mentioned used tune o matic.
trivia: van halen's jamies cryin was used by tone loc "wild thing" without permission

floyd rose is the actual name of the inventor of the famous double locking floating guitar tremolo..mr. rose was a guitarist for a hard rock band called Q5...i remember seeing a picture of him with his band in 1 circus mag i once had...the floyd rose trem came out commercially at around '79-'80...& was popularized by kramer guitars which gained exclusive distributorship of the trendsetting stringbender...

trivia : at around the time of release of vh's 1984 album, evh invited mr. rose to the hard rock cafe...over sips of beer evh expressed his gratitude to mr. rose for his trem without which his sound may have never evolved as it did...when they were about to part their ways, evh hollered to floyd at the same time throwing something at the startled mr. rose...much to floyd rose's shock & amazement, they were the keys to a brand new red mustang that evh was giving to him as token of his gratitude...

talk about the ultimate dive bomb!!!...jackpot!!!...

learned many things bout guitar from you man. youre really the source... of infection (sounds familiar to you) that ou812 really has nice sound. just listen to black and blue, mine all mine, cabo wabo and even finish what ya started. i could even say its better that the brown sound (slight difference only of course)
on the album 1984, what catches my attention was panama, hot for teacher, il wait and house of pain. i cant tell what eddie style on that album. maybe his hands are just as quick as it gets. every album has different sound but with all due respect to peavey amps..could this be magic?
by the way..just purchased a mega dist md2. i think of all boss dist, the md2 nailed eddies brown sound

i have a dvd scorpions live in wacken 2006, its like a homecoming to them. they performed their classic songs like rock you like a hurricane, bad boys running wild, loving you sunday morning, big city nights, the zoo, blackout, make it real, coming home and more. herman rarebell, uli jon roth and michael schenker were their special guests. i cannot compare this german group to any of my fav glam hair bands. everybody has his own style of music. although every musician grows older but their music lives on forever.. i did not grow up listening to msg or aor but i know they also got what it takes to be in billboard charts.

Yeah, but the editing was atrocious. How come they left off Dark Lady, He's a Woman, She's a Man and Dynamite?

[jamespegarido]

well, as they say, 'with age, comes wisdom'...ouch! that hit the spot...not really bro...i just want to share the little that i know to as many as i can...& what better way than with this forum...as 1 saying goes, '1 is only as great as the number of lives 1 has touched'...

i should say that vh's 1984 album was the band's tryst with variety...with the synthesizer laden i'll wait & spaced-out intro 1984...the billboard potentials jump & panama...the double-bass pedalpounder hot for teacher...& so forth...yet, when it gets to the solo, you'd surely say, 'yep, that's evh alright'...

fave tracks include bouncy boppy top jimmy...drop dead legs & house of pain were potentially heavy riffs (imagine playing those tunes with floored distortions & palm muted bass notes), & the harmonics tapping congee girl gone bad...great song...'big rock' at its best...

cheers to you with your md2...grown tired of mt2?...

i love this thread. though i can;t play a guitar to save my life, i really enjoy listening to guitar driven (the ones with mean guitar solos) metal/rock music. keep shredding!
