Dweezil Zappa flew him up to Sydney last night to be the guest player (taking Steve Vai's place) !!!!!!!!!! and Irwin killed it !!!!!!! awesome !
Irwin Thomas is the real name for Jack Jones (Southern Sons ,Farnham. etc)

Well I guess that all depends on how you look at it. Eddie just took it to a
different level, one that turned me on for sure. Personally I've never looked
at a guitarist as being the best or whatever, to me that just doesn't exist.
Different players do different things to me. Although I would have to say
Jeff Beck certainly rings my bell, not too many top 40's there. but then I've
never judge a musucians ability by making the top 40.
Besides if we really want to get purist on who did what first, finger tapping
wasn't invent by Mark Knopfler either. Try Nicolo Pagini (1782-1840) a
violinist from the early 1800's  . I did a couple of shows with Dire Straights
back in 85's I think.... I'll have to look back through my stage passes.

Oops,
how could i forget the Sultan of Swing. I spent hours listening over and over to the end of that song just to get the lead. I eventually learnt it. I agree about there not being a best guitarist, just different styles. Eddie certainly rocks with his artificial harmonics and tapping etc. Others such as Knopfler, Clapton and Carlos Santana more melodic. Only heard about a dude called Dimebag Daryl (Pantera) last year when doing a search for harmonics etc. Some crazed fan shot and killed him on stage at a gig, wow crazy.

I meant JB was among the first, if not the first to do the finger tapping harmonics thing, on modern electric guitar just he was a bit more subtle and tasteful with it not just doing it coz he can, cheesy flashy hair rock look at me look at me stuff
in what capacity did you do those shows, as support act?

Truss spot operater. You ever been to a show in one of the entertainment
centres through out OZ. And before the show starts you see folks come
out in black and climb the wire rope ladders up into the rigs? that was me
when I started out in the entertainment industry.

I've met EVH in person. Actually I got him a chair to sit on during his sound
check in Sydney. And shook his hand, top bloke. Actually a friend of mine
who was the monitors guy for the Baby Anaimals had his wedding reception
in his back yard while on tour with the Baby Anaimals who were supporting
US wide Van Halen tour not long after they toured here.

LOL, sweet job. I did the Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet tour as a truss spot
operater. If you saw the show I was on the back truss which moved up and
down. One minute you'd be 60' in the air the next 8' off the stage. That was
cool, but we didn't know about the pyro's until they came across the clear-com.
A split second later Booom!! right under ya bum, friggen nearly jumped
out of my follow spot seat, in fact if I wasn't strapped in I would of landed
on the damn stage. The bloke opposite me did the same. I still get a giggle
out of remembering that.

Terrible hours, not only that but you were always renting some place you
didn't live in lol.
Pyro's are lots of fun : ) I love them. But when your not ready for them an
a percussion flash goes off 8' under bum, it's the first one that gets you.
I'm a ticketed pyro techician, and can fire mortors up to 3.5". I used to
do the Harbour Bridge on NYE when Sid Howard was doing it, back in the
mid 90's

Sorry to take so long to reply ! I don't get online everyday !
I only play for my own pleasure these days, bit like getting back to how it all started. The guitar is a wonderful instrument to just sit and fool around on whenever the fancy takes you.

I kinda like this site, yes i know torrent/dimeadozen ect are all good and free, but i hate the reciprocosity BS, but you can listen to entire bootleg album/ concert for free as many times as you want! theres MO '73 one there, pretty cool.

no worries Steve, glad to hear it
It would be hard for me to give up completely I would imagine, once its in your blood and all that, It's a pretty cheap hobby once you own a half decent guitar, not so much need for constant upgrading like some pastimes I spose lol
some of the toys available these days makes it all extremely interesting again tho i must say, i would pick out modern acoustic pick-ups, digital Looper pedals, and of course ebay, just for a quick 3 large recent git world developments, out of many, many technological developments that deeply impress and stun me, almost daily it seems, too many to mention really. its all too hard to resist for me!!
