Never had the pleasure. My point was that Pete has established enough of
his own style that he stands on his own. <Pete=apples, Eddie=oranges> He
is recreating his sound on this tour. Did you hear Eddie V in any of Pete's
stuff this year? I did.
Has Pete been stealing licks from Van Halen? Yup. VH stole from Beck, Beck
stole from Buddy Guy, Buddy stole from Jimmy Rodgers, Jimmy stole from
T-Bone Walker, T-Bone stole from Robert Johnson, Johnson stole from players
who were never recorded. Nothin' wrong with stealing if you do it from the
best and twist it a bit to make it your own. Of course, it doesn't hurt to
add a little technology along the way.
BTW I think Pete has been stealing from Clapton a bit on this tour as well.
You talk about a great thief - EC is one of the best! Hasn't VH said that
he worships Clapton? Its hard to hear EC anywhere in his playing now. I
guess he buried those licks in his own style and personality.
I am not guitar player. I just know what I hear, and lately I am hering a
new Pete. I like it!
