Nobody would expect JS to play Van Halen songs flawlessly without practicing. And even then I wouldn't expect him to sound exactly like EVH. The main problem is they went on Howard Stern when they weren't yet ready. It wasn't just the Mean Street intro either. 5150 sounded kind of marginal. The response wasn't that surprising.
Joe's style of play is shred just like Yngwie .Gilbret .Joe Stump (a guy that has been totally forgotten and probably the most underrated guitarist in the history of Metal) Yngwie and Stump were the first two real shredders .Eddie was never from the shredder sub genre .Joe could practice Meanstreet for a couple days and probably played it note for note had he wanted to but thats not his thing hes gonna put his spin on it and purposely so to make it in his style .thats also the respectful way to go .either was he go's whether its like Ed or with his take on it he's gonna catch flack from diehard EVH fans and if played it like Ed his own fans would have said wth thats not the Joe Shred we kno .other than Brad Gillis you never saw any of thos other guys in Ozzy band try and play it exactly like Randy on his songs .no they (Jake Zach .Gus .Via .Holmes .Cantrell) all put their take or spin on it cause they all had a specific style of their own .so as for all the people gonna hate on Joe for not playing Meanstreet like Ed did its not that he couldn't had he wanted to maybe practice it for a day or two straight he could have but thats not wat he wanted to do .he did that outta respect for Ed .how in the hell you gonna hate on Joe Satrianti he's a living legend and a true shedder .something guys like Eddie .Rhoads .DMartini .Lynch were not .they were melodic players that was more into playing with feel and emotion rather then just as fast as possible with repetitive licks that truthfully and honestly isn't really a natural sound from a gutair .
Would love for the creator of this channel or any musical channel for that matter do a video on Joe Stump (the forgotten shredder .75% of your subscribers I guarantee have never ever heard of Joe Stump .he's a amazing and successful gutair player from the 80s and 90s .
The faces he always makes at the beginning of that solo seem to say, "I'm bored" or "I can do this with my eyes closed and one hand tied behind my back".😜
Notice the difference of tone from Richie’s playing. A N Pick” style he’s well known for, such as guitarist, Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. All three Legendary guitarists.
Lol. Why old fucks always have to come for young people? You do realize we can still listen to older music and like more modern as well, right? It's not like old people who feel like they can only listen to old shit because their old.
fun fact Phil X was the ORIGIONAL guitar player In Randy Coven who came up with the whole sound before Al Pitrelli who was recommended by Vai for Alice Cooper
*If they absolutely need a two-guitar approach* - the epic pairing would be Phil & Sambora. How this Shanks guy ever fell into the mix is bewildering to me🤷♂️…
My wife has a serious thing for Phil x and when she realised he was older than ME.. there was 10 mins solid of her looking at me, looking at him, looking at me, looking at him... then insane laughter. 😢
A lot of people forget that Brad had to learn all of Randy’s stuff so he could fill in on the tour after Randy’s tragic death. This man knows what he’s doing! Sadly Ozzy was a first class douche to him…
