Tommy Shaw can't get Gibson to build him a guitar

[Kamen_Kaiju]

I was always much more impressed with his downpicking than vocals. But yeah, from Kill 'em All to Master his voice was the perfect fit.

Justice too. Blackened is a great example of his voice in that style,.. Shortest Straw,... etc.

On the Black album he started actually trying to sing and ..... yeah.

Master and Justice his voice had matured and sounded really good with their thrash.

That style of playing,.. Megadeth, Metallica,.. Slayer,.. just needed a decent voice.

I mean the guy in Slayer can't sing and his voice is absolutely perfect for their music.

He's been playin' Knaggs lately. He posts videos on FB.

Some of what he plays on his vids are just random mondo high speed noodling with shit tone.... He's a much better player than on some of his 'home' videos....

Sounds like me....emphasis on noodling and shit tone.....

Of course with a touch of crappy....

Neal's FB / Instagram videos are poorly mixed shredding exercises, for the most part. He doesn't seem to care. I'm more entertained by his snippy comments to fans who rub him the wrong way than his actual playing on those lol.

He's certainly a different player on stage and in the studio, when it counts. For my money, quite inspiring.

Give me a job, give me security
Give me a chance to survive
I'm just a poor soul in the unemployment line
My God, I'm hardly alive


i've felt that way a couple times.

I hear ya, man.

And, I've lived the "I got dozens of friends and the fun never ends, that is as long as I'm buying" a few times, too.

Styx was great

I remember Tommy Shaw raving about the then new Taylor solid body electric guitars when they came out in 2008. He said words to the effect that the Taylor was going to be his new "main" guitar.

I guess he changed his mind later and went back to Les Pauls.

This thread's most value to me was making me discover the "Backstage" forum. I have never checked it out before this thread.
