Wake Up to Guitar Greatness

Kerry King & Jeff Hanneman – "South of Heaven" (Live, '01)

Hanneman wrote the 1988 title track. After Reign in Blood, Slayer slowed down on purpose, saying they couldn't top that speed.

Here King tears through the lead with Hanneman locked in beside him, and Hanneman steps up for his own lead right at the end.

Legends Collide: Metallica & Lemmy Kilmister (1/4)

Lars Ulrich said it flat out: Metallica exists because of Lemmy, and that's 'not some cheap exaggeration.'

On September 14, 2009 in Nashville, they got to prove it. They brought Lemmy out during the encore and became his backing band for Damage Case.

Thirty-seven years ago today, Joe Satriani released “Flying in a Blue Dream.”

That eerie radio voice at the start was an accident, his amp caught a stray broadcast while recording and they left it in.

@gguworld Damn, JUST A FEW MORE BARS AND YOU COULD HAVE HAD POSTED THE ENTIRE SOLO WTF?

Wake Up to Guitar Greatness

Jake E. Lee – "Bark at the Moon" (Live, '83)

Lee says he wrote the riff but signed away the songwriting credit under threat of being fired.

Watch him here, center stage, all speed and attack, the guy who had to follow Randy Rhoads and made it his own.

@gguworld WHAT WAS IT CALLED G-SPOT?

[Guitar Gods Unleashed @gguworld]

STORY

September 1971, a bus to Portsmouth. Blackmore started hammering one note, a single G, over and over. Gillan improvised lyrics on top.

The band was sick of opening with Speed King and wanted something fresh. They sharpened it on the way and debuted it that same night.

@gguworld Should I fact check? 🤔 Nah.

Riffs, Lyrics & Legends – Deep Purple: Highway Star (1/5)

INTRO

A reporter on a tour bus asked Deep Purple how they write songs. Instead of answering, they wrote one on the spot. By that night they were playing it onstage.

That improvised answer became Highway Star, one of the fastest, fiercest songs in hard rock.

This is AC/DC days before everything changed.

July 1979, Day on the Green in Oakland, ripping through "Live Wire" with Highway to Hell about to drop and become their breakthrough.

Bon Scott had seven months to live.

@gguworld Thanks for vid!

[Guitar Gods Unleashed @gguworld]

Following Randy Rhoads might have been the hardest job in rock. Bernie Tormé and Brad Gillis had already tried.

Then 26-year-old Jake E. Lee walked onstage at the 1983 US Festival, before he'd recorded a note with Ozzy, and tore through Randy's "Over the Mountain" in front of a crowd reported at about 375,000.
