Reb Beach rips on Hammett

I think Kirk had plans to moon the crowd like Angus does....but it never came thru.....

 

[rupe]

Carlos Cavazo, Jon Sykes, Adrian Vandenburg, Lynch, DiMartini, RR, EVH etc, all played in the 80's hair stuff. And they would rip either one of them apart.

I'm a fan of all of those players, but none of them has a thing on Reb when speaking about proficiency on the guitar. Love him or hate him, Reb is a world class player who elevated finger tapping to new levels. No doubt that Winger's image was all about being glamor boys, but they were head and shoulders above most hair metal bands when it came time to play.

I'm surprised to hear that Reb was less than cool to some of the people here...that's disappointing to me. I've hung out with him on two different occassions and he couldn't have been any cooler.

Who would win in a fight - Beach Vs Hammett?

Tuff one. They both seem like pussies to me.

I dont know dude.. Hammet's got that sweet dirty sanchez stash for a reason

He's also got a wicked "Tramp Stamp" right above the waste line. Wouldnt be shocked if he had dolphins tattood around his belly button

I stumbled across this pic of Kirks Tat.
It was on this Scandanavian Metallica Web-site....

thanks alot Dan. I just spit a liitle of my drink out on my keyboard

I will give them that. At least they were not Poison

He isnt proud of it....but tattoo's are forever.
He only shows it off at strip clubs when he feels "tipsy" and wants to do some pole dancing.

Gee, sounds like you sure do know a lot about "Kirk's tattoo" You sure you didn't take a picture of your own ass and try to blame it on Kirk? It's ok man, we won't judge you, we know tequila does bad things to good people

I can see if Kirk was young and needed the money.......
but he got this tat last year. Just likes to break it out when feeling 'frisky'......

I would like to change the subject to Neil Young's sweep picking.

Neil has more soul in his playing then any of those flashy, finger tapping, speed scale, ("lack of") technic, hair dying/frosting, spandex fagots, Sponsor ridden, whammy wankers!!!!

Why in the fuck would you want pink and blue wings coming off your ass crack? He should be stripped of his Rock n Roll credentials

Are you guys really telling me that you think Hamster is better than DiMartini and Vandenburg or Sykes?? And don't bring commercial success into this either. When I said "rip them apart" I meant as a guitar player ie they could outplay hamster/beach. I didn't not mean feuding with other guitarists or having a cocky attitude like Malmsteen

Why so much hate for Cavazo?? I know he aint one of the all time greats, but jeesh come on. He fit great into Quiet Riot after RR left. Battle Axe is still awesome, he wrote some cool leads when he was with Quiet Riot (I really only liked Cavazo when he was in QR anyway). I know RR and EVH didn't play in hair bands you idiots but it was the same era as the guys I was talking about, late 70's - early to mid 80's. I still think EVH gets lumped in with hair bands, considering they all wanted to be Van Halen....

I do not hate him. He is a good solid guitarist. I personally would not put him in the same league as EVH and RR.
I think Hammet and Beach are better. I caught a show of QR back in 98. I believe it was at the Strand out here in SOCAL. He did a solo with so much fx, you could not hear what he was doing. He was also very sloppy and I mean very sloppy. In the context of QR he was good.

That is what I meant. In the context of QR he was good. I agree he is not in the same league as RR and EVH, hell no one else is except maybe Lynch. Beach is better than Cavazo, but i'm sure I can find some pretty bad hamster moments. It's not hard to find a hamster solo with out of tune bends and shitty vibrato thats masked with a wah pedal.

if you get real close to the screen, you can see that the wings really are not coming out of his crack but there is a small growth about a half inch towards the left of his upper crack about an inch deep inside

How close did you get to it?

I would not word it that way .... but I agree about him being more expressive and emotional in his playing. Music is only art and art is only a expression of emotion.

I always though it was because these guys like James so much .... they could only pay him homage. This is just part of this.
You well never see me say anything ever about his vibrato. I think it is the best he can do .... and we should encourage him to be all he can be ? It is a matter of faith .... Kirk was the "spiritual one" if I remember correct. Just like Gene is the "demon" and Paul is the "lover".
