Diamond Head is Brian Tatler, who is currently round at a mate's house dealing with the latest bits & bobs on his Diamond Head website. Met him a few times over the years - nice bloke, brilliant guitarist.

unclebuck

Sweet Home Alabama, Lynard Skynard. The Old Grey Whistle Test live performance. Just when you think it can't go up yet another gear.... it does.

TelBoy

GnR, the intro to Sweet Child of Mine? And also the solo in it.

Showing my age; Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. Always made me turn up the volume!

Lord Jeffery Wode esq.

it's true - i drive a volvo - when not driving a tractor - its good for knocking down cows

Scooby96

OMG I'm agreeing with TelBoy

Gotta be Slash's intro to 'Sweet Child O Mine'

Lord Jeffery Wode esq.

Lynyrd skynyrd solo is allen collins - and if you listen closely, he breaks a string during it (studio version) but they kept that take cos it was so good
ok - i'm the head of the table at the next dinner party for boring anecdotes :-?

Poor Guy

jimi hendrix - voodoo chile, little wing. love them solos

Lord Jeffery Wode esq.

Also Michael Schenker - for riffs and solos -Strangers In The Night is still one of my fave albums - most of his stuff with UFO was unique, and some good stuff with his solo stuff/MSG - also had an excellent tone and an ear for melody.

scoobydooooo

no mention of Thin Lizzy , my fav is called emerald great guitar work in the middle of that tune.

TelBoy

LOL Scooby96!

And anything by Joe Satriani. Especially Surfin' With The Alien.

Scooby96

Ah see now TB's lost me - must be his advanced years over me

TelBoy

It was only 1987!!

Scooby96

Precisely - I was only 14 at the time!

great news to hear that Brian Tatler is still about,I loved there stuff as a kid,and the artwork on the LPs is still brilliant after all these years.

so much for British Steel being the definitve NWOBHM lp,sod that,Am I Evil gets my vote

any chance of me sending my Am I Evil off and getting it signed?

well you have to try

ps sorry but Blackmore in Highway Star has to be my fave riff though and Blackmores Child In Time on MIJ is me fave solo.Memories

oh,and Strangers In The Night,Saxon,was a classic riff as well
