Joel Hoekstra tearing it up on a Friedman

[LP Freak]

The dudes got chops

 

[Beyond Black]

Joel is a monster. I couldn't even count how many times his playing has reduced me to tears over the years. Going to see TSO at Rosemont on 12/23. Gonna hang with him for a little while before the show.

Hook me up dude

 

[JerEvil]

Great player and MAN do I dig that guitar!

 

[psychodave]

It was good, but not anything special. Personally, I think Chris Caffrey is better.

Hook ups are hard to come by for TSO. Much easier for Whitesnake. Let's go next time they come.

Yeah, I'm thinking he was holding back just a little for the sake of the song. He's got a lot more fuel in the tank.

I wish I could hold back like that

Is he using Friedman's for the TSO stuff now? He used EVH's on the last few tours with them.

RIGHT?!?!
Tasty and SUPER clean...No judgments here, just RESPECT

 

[Wizard of Ozz]

Great playing... fugly axe.

Friedman guitar. He must have a sustainer in the bridge.

Yup! Telecaster-derivatives have no business in metal.




Before people go all "but what about John 5?".... That ain't metal! Ever see Mille Petrozza, Gary Holt, Kerry King, Scott Ian or Alex Skolnick wield one?

 

[Badronald]

dude is a fantastic musician, but I can't stand this kind of music in ANY form.

This we can agree on.

My buddy goes to see TSO every year like its some kind of life changing tradition.

I listen for 30 seconds and I'm done. Can't stand it.

Yep, same for me, can't even make it 30 seconds....it makes me wonder WHY?

Ahhh yes. I'm not too familiar with these new guitars. I was wondering what headstock that was. Also has me wondering if that tone is from an EVH or Snax fx.

The music is boring as hell, but his poses make me
