    I'd have to add one of the most underrated bands of all time, playing one of their best...

    Grand Funk Railroad's Mark Farner soloing on Inside Looking Out, from their red album, Grand Funk. Although this solo is not full of technical flash, it has enough soul dripping off of it for any three or four albums. I have worn out many copies of that album, in vinyl, cassette and even CD format.

    Mel Schacher's work on this album is one of the two things that finally convinced me that bass was where I belonged. The other was Stanley Clarke's playing with Return to Forever. Al Dimeola's guitar work on Romantic Warrior should at least get an honorable mention when it comes to guitar solos!

    I AM the bass player!


    GUITARS: '93 ZON Sonus 4, '85 G&L L-2000 (Mahogany), '05 Schecter Stiletto Custom 4, '06 SX SJB-62MG (Fretless), '07 Squier Bronco (project), '06 Ibanez AEB10E-BK acoustic bass, '70s Epiphone OO-sized acoustic, '94 Peavey Reactor (extreme makeover edition)


    AMPS: '03 Ampeg BA115 bass combo, '86 Peavey MkIV Series 400 bass head, SWR Workingman's cabs, 2x10" & 1x15", '00 Peavey Micro Bass

    Now, back to Stairwayfest '07. Tone, did Page really use the Tele on that solo? I never knew that!

    I cannot believe that Joe Perry didnt make it to that list!! His solo on "Dude looks like a lady" is one of my favorite Perry moments. I dont see the purpose of these kind of lists.
    I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

    What with all this apologizing, I feel left out & I'm sorry that I do.

    No wonder I like you. Joe Perry is a fabulous guitarist and his solos are memorable if not timeless. I've been watching the Aerosmith DVD "You Gotta Move" and clearly it is one of my favorites....

    I have all Aerosmith albums up to "get a grip". I really think that they lost something with that album, too much "crying" and too little of that "you aint seen nothing until your down on the muffin"....
    The "honkin on hobo" album was really good though...

    Honkin' On Hobo rocks my friend. There are a lot of songs on the "Draw The Line" album that I really dig....stuff I was really getting into when I first starting playing.
