He damn well may have back then - I think it was an Ibanez RG550 he was playing......now days it's a Tele. Sounds like a touch of wammy here and there in that tune.
A lot of folks say that RK is an egotistical dick but I don't give a shit. The man can play. Hell it's not like I hang out with him. I just enjoy the music.
The guy flat out fuckin rules!!! I love his crazy shred type playing and the slidey lynch-type vibrato he uses. I also really enjoy his more bluesy phrasing too, he knows exactly how to mix up the feel parts and the shreddy parts to get the maximum effect!
