Tribute to Chris Poland (2010)

One day I just had to throw some guitar solo at the public, because I like soloing very much - both as a listener, and as a player - and I was wondering if there would be any feedback from a possible audience.

At the time, I had discovered Chris Poland's jazzrock recordings (including OHM) and became an even bigger fan of his playing than I had been since hearing his "Return to Metalopolis" album a long time ago.

So this became my first "quick'n'dirty tribute" video - dedicated to Chris Poland, a guitar player and person I consider a strong influence (together with Rob Pagliari). In particular, this is some sort of response to the "Guitarist Chris Poland on FPE-TV" video found on YouTube. I've heard Chris doesn't like his video, so I tried to make mine kinda un-likeable, too. ;-)

Lost Eddie Van Halen Photos found

Did you know Eddie Van Halen used to have an actual aerial bomb? A couple of days ago, Gibson TV released this video of photographer Neil Zlozower talking about Van Halen, and presenting some spectacular photos. Zlozower was around when Van Halen emerged, and took a lot of pictures of the band in the early days. In the video, he presents some very nice photographs that were taken near the end of Van Halen's 1978 tour. There's an exceptionally beautiful one of Eddie Van Halen on stage, playing, dancing and looking straight at the photographer, who's standing just a few feet away. Zlozower also found some forgotten pictures of the band working on their second studio album - these pictures in particular capture some of the chaotic genius that was at work in early Van Halen. (Including the bomb.) It's a great video, with some nice stories, and obviously some outstanding photographs, by Neil Zlozower. video source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DFlzfbAU00 Gibson TV Grea...
