Unchained...my version of ERUPTION!

[wahwah]

Thought you might want to hear this. Been playing it for years but after a fierce night on the town, I had to play this one at about 9.30am on a Sunday morning in the studio with a sore head. Played it 100's of times better and am very pi--ed off about hitting the wrong note (D) on a trem divebomb and then having to hit the A...NEVER done this in all the years I've played it BUT when the red lights on!!!!! Oh well, let me know what you think. Chris Watson. [img]images/smilies/icon_doh.gif[/img]

Sounds pretty good to me.
The execution of the general piece is good and pretty close to Eruption as we know it from the record. You may be rushing a bit between the various parts of the solo—that's all I would to say in a negative way.
I wish I could play any parts of Eruption, but I've never cared to spend the time on it.
This makes me want to give it a try.

Funny...our singer says exactly the same re rushing it! Was definitely rushing it that morning...sore head!

I like it. Sounds good to me, with your own flavour to it. Can definitely tell what it is though.

I agree that each of the parts sound a little rushed, as though you are rushing to get to the final tapping bit. (?)

You'd best not rush it when I come to see you this Friday though !

I loved the ending of this version though...

Getting a lot of grief about the fact that I rehearsed the tapping section ala piano with the guitar laid flat on the cab...worked fine in rehearsal but lost the bottle when it came to the gig! Depends how you feel at the time but I'm hopeful to tap it flat like a piano...we'll see! Where do you live in Berks mate?

[Mondy]

Looking forward to see and hear it tapped out piano style. [img]images/smilies/icon_thumb.gif[/img]

I have a camera that can take 15s High Quality movies, or 1 minute lower quality movies. I'm pretty sure that the sound quality is no different regardless of which quality I decide on for the movie. So I'll be shooting some movies with it. Even if the picture quality turns out shite, at least I can get some recordings.

I'm from Wokingham. Bit of a way to go to get to Marlow, but I'll be there, even if it is on my own ! [img]images/smilies/icon_frown.gif[/img]

All my mates are not Van Halen fans, my little brother is up at Alton Towers that day, and my older brother is too far away to get down in time.

Add to that the fact that I can't drink cuz I'm driving... [img]images/smilies/icon_mad.gif[/img]

You'd better be good ! [img]images/smilies/icon_wink.gif[/img]

He he...well I'm not looking forward to the gig myself as it's not like a proper rock venue BUT the guys were insistant that we did something local...and there isn't anything! We've played nothing but VH for 5 months and our first gig three weeks ago was good so there's no reason you won't enjoy it...just don't expect the top banana show. If you wanna see a better show come to the Standard in Walthamstow or The Cartoon in Croydon...or the Midlands! We are playing in Witney the night after but thats not the biggest gig in the world either!

Well, I'll get slaughtered for this, but I am going to see Bon Jovi on Saturday at Hyde Park, so I wouldn't be able to see you that evening.

Ah, ridicule me all you want. I like them, I always have. Their new stuff might be a bit pants, but you can't beat the old stuff live !

Right, I'm gonna get a place at the front. I wanna see up close how these tunes are played !!!
