Wolf Van Halen blazes 🔥 Randy Rhoads’ solo on @OzzyOsbourne’s Crazy Train last night @rockhall
Randy & EVH were the two most influential players to come out of LA in the late 70s; brings it full circle to have Wolf on 🎸 here!

When watching guitarists play, the eyes invariably focus on the neck hand. In Jeff Beck’s case, always look at his other hand. WATCH how deftly he manipulated controls and bar as he shows what a Strat is capable of sonically.
What I most appreciated about Taylor Hawkins was that he seemed utterly unaffected by his own stardom: he remained a FAN of the bands he loved.
Watch this clip from 3/08 when he played with Geddy and Alex of @rushtheband and how he reacts at end of YYZ😢 RIP. 😔
