Hey. Your cover of vai - Whispering a prayer was awesome! Keep up the good work.

You can try to make something of this!

Gary - dude - you've already got this topic, there's really no need to start a new one for another cover! Your new topic post is copied below.

Well, he's a lad that's "had problems" that have effected his consistancy, but a listen to Rock Bottom is always worthwhile.

Ritchie Blackmore is also a name that doesn't get a mention too often, but be honest, how many times have you found yourself banging out Smoke...... In the Rainbow days, he did a couple of instrumentals that I always liked, Weiss Heim and Vielleicht Das Nachster Mal. Dig them out and see what you think...sorry haven't time to dig out a link for you.

Re: What song shall I cover next?

Brian May - not one of my favourites: I have to be in a certain frame of mind to listen to Queen, but another great. Be interesting to see if you can get that "orchestral" sound of his.

You just reminded me, somewhere in the dark recesses of the attic, in the remains of my vinyl, I think I have the 1983(ish) Star Fleet Project mini-album that Brian May did, I think its one of the 1st things he did outside Queen. It's billed as Brian May & Friends; one friend is Eddie Van Halen.....say no more!!! There's a CD version with extra tracks, including 2 takes of the music he did for a Ford ad, Driven By You, and a few unremarkable fillers - think the Japanese Cd is worth around £100. Shame the vinyl's only worth £2.....

Yes I have! That song, and performance is so powerful and emotive. It hooks me every time. Ranks VERY high on my all-time list...

Yeah, I agree about being in 'the right frame of mind' to listen to Queen.
Woa, Vinyl sounds great, might have to check out the CD version!  £2 for the vinyl?! Disgrace.

P.s I do love a good bit of EVH

Ahh you've reminded me of Andy Timmons! Completely disregarded him haha!
As for the song - Love it, would be a challenge but, Hey! Why not. This could be on the cards, maybe if not...what do you think of 'Electric Gypsy'?
