The L.A. Guns co-founder and guitarist Tracii Guns said in an interview with Dee Snider on the Shout it Out Loudcast, that the legendary guitarist Eric Clapton is actually overrated. He also said that in his opinion, the late Jeff Beck was always the best one in The Yardbirds. Tracii Guns says Eric Clapton is overrated (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar) "Cream, for me, cream would be Clapton's pinnacle. It's like, dirty guitar sounds, wah-wah pedal, man, fuckin' going for it. But after that, he didn't do that. But when he was in the Yardbirds, Jeff Beck, man — he's got the fuzz pedal, he's got the wah-wah pedal. He was moving forward, and then this excuse [for Clapton], 'Well, yeah, but he's a blues guy.' Everybody's a fucking blues guy!" "I'm not trying to bang on Clapton... But, you know, you talk about underrated guys. What about the fucking overrated guys? You're gonna put Clapton with Jeff Beck? In what reality? I could do without Clapton, you know? I could do without his personality, but the Yardbirds are my second favorite band, because that's the precursor to Zeppelin. Also, I have everything they ever recorded, demo tapes, everything. Clapton ain't the guy, man, Beck's the guy," Tracii Guns said. Tracii Guns was born in Los Angeles, California in 1966 and besides being the founding member of L.A. Guns, is also one of the co-founders of Guns N' Roses. But he left the Axl Rose group shortly after the band was formed and was replaced by Slash. L.A. Guns had already released 14 studio albums, the most recent one being "Black Diamonds" in 2023. Besides him, the band's current line-up has Phil Lewis (Vocals), Adam Hamilton (Drums), Johnny Martin (Bass), Ace Von Johnson (Guitar) and Shawn Duncan (Drums). Tracii was also part of supergroups like Brides of Destruction and Contraband. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-AyzFK-dY4&pp=ygUMbGEgZ3VucyAyMDI0The post Tracii Guns says Eric Clapton is overrated appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The classic Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony is currently on the road with Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani and Jason Bonham promoting the tour "The Best of All Worlds", which is mainly focused on the material Van Halen released during the years with Sammy on vocals. In an interview with Ultimate Guitar, Anthony talked about the late legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen and how the Led Zeppelin guitarist and producer Jimmy Page influenced him. He recalled that Eddie's famous tapping technique was created after he had the chance to watch Page performing with Zeppelin. Michael Anthony talks about Jimmy Page's influence on Eddie VH "He was a great guitar player. There are a couple interviews I've seen that he's done, where people ask him the same question, how does he feel being called that or whatever. He he just says, 'Hey, I'm just a punk kid who plays guitar.' The genius part I guess came with the tapping, because it was very innovative, what he did." "And the way he even explains it, where he was a big fan of seeing Jimmy Page live. And he just took like, what Page was doing those, those pull-offs with one hand, and Eddie just started, 'What if I took the same thing and moved it like, with this finger, like I was moving the nut of the guitar up?'" "So, I guess you could call a lot of that innovative. Genius? Yeah, I think so. Because he was probably the first one who really brought that out into the mainstream and he did it very well, obviously," Michael Anthony said. Before having their own songs, Van Halen used to play a lot of covers on the bar circuit and there were many Led Zeppelin tracks on the setlist. Some of them are “Hots On For Nowhere”, “The Rover” and “Trampled Underfoot”. Also after the mid-80s when Sammy Hagar became the band’s vocalist, they included many times the songs “Whole Lotta Love” and “Rock and Roll” during their concerts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIpHZo7BsT8&pp=ygUSZXJ1cHRpb24gdmFuIGhhbGVuThe post Michael Anthony talks about Jimmy Page’s influence on Eddie VH appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
