Okay...you see..KC was trying to see if we're paying attention...I was...nice hockey players, man...they're great with a stick...but never seen gretsky with an axe..:lol:

One thing you did write intrigues me. Terry Kath... What many people don't know about him is he had a great VOICE too...he was the voice behind Chicago's "Wishin You Were Here" and "Colour My World''..two of my all time favorites.....it's a friggin cryin shame that he's not with us anymore... Died playing russian roulette. Jimi Hendrix once told the world that TERRY KATH was a better guitar player than him...that's a compliment...and ANY Van Halen fan should know who he is...Terry Kath basically invented (well...I'd say really he 'pioneered" it....) the technique that Eddie uses on Eruption. Hammer-On, I believe.... Listen to some of chicago's work...the OLD OLD stuff...from when they were "chicago transit authority"...you'll hear it....snag one called "free form guitar" (or if I still have it on MP3, I'll post it..)

Nice Pick KC. Much love on that one!:2thumbsup



Terry Kath
Guy LaFleur
Wayne Gretzky
Mario Lemieux
Gary Carter
Andre Dawson

I have not seen Jake E. Lee's name in awhile... do you know what he has been up to lately?

He just put out a cover CD not to long ago. It's alot of 70's style bands. Pretty good , if you are a fan. He was my favorite Ozzy guitar player. Wish he would do more .
