I thought I would say Hi as it's rude to drop in unannouced ;-) My name is Dan Ranger and have been playing the ol' geetar since *cough* the early 80's. So yuo can see I started playing when it was all kicking off guitar wise ;-) I have many influeneces old and new, but ones that stick out are EVH,George Lynch,Glenn Tipton and James Hetfield. I got pushed into lead playing in the eatly days as I was the only guitarist....so it sort of made sense LOL I gigged all around the south coast in the 80's in various thrash/ power metal combo's untill I joined Hydra Vein in 88. Recorded a few albums then went into retirement. I still plyed in the 90's but just noodled abit at home until this year I hooked up with Clive Murray through the net. Bizzarely he had played with my brother years ago. So hopefully the cover band we are in will rear it's ugly head soon... Thanks for listening and hope to post more soon. Dan

Try telling that to Bert Weedon! Although EVH, whoever he is, probably did boost guitar sales acceptibly in the 80's. Willkommen!

I saw Bert Weedon live once. It was at Wolverhampton Opera House in about 1962. The Barron Knights were on the same bill.
It was a Christmas panto. I was six, and had the first crush of my life - on the principal boy - she was a dish.

I am a big Kotzen fan,not just for his guitar skills.His voice and songwriting is very good. He ditched the whole 80's shreddie thing and went his own way. Ok a few of mine...
George Lynch James Hetfield Gary Holt Nile Rodgers Vitto Bratta Ronni LeTekro John Norum John Sykes Micheal Schenker Stevie Ray Vaughn Criss Oliva
Recently.. Jeff Loomis Mathias Eklund
I like a bit of country too... life and music is too varied to be narrow minded ;-)

I saw him in about 1968 in Blackpool, with Tommy Steele of all people...
