    I will say this about McCready...I sometimes get bored/annoyed with guitar solos. Some seem to drag on and on and I'm like "Ok already, get to the rest of the song." The only allowable, ultimate drag-fest guitar solo is "Freebird" :mrgreen: It's just that there are times where I feel like a guitar solo is more of an ego-filled "I have 15 fingers" showboating thing.

    I don't feel this way at all with Mike McCready. I enjoy his solos and find him to be extremely talented. I can count on one hand, how many guitarists that I really thoroughly enjoy their solos. McCready has joined that list. :clap:

    Usually I stop watching these after the first two secs, but this guitar player's actually pretty talented. Maybe you'll like this one.

    One my favorite lines of Eddie, describing Mike McCready after Even Flow, Chicago 2000-08-24...

    "He has to play that song or else he'll fucking kill somebody! And I have a nominee for, uh...Mike, next time you don't play that song, this guy right here. This guy...he's wearing a shirt that says, 'No Even Flow'. I suggest you kill him first. I know you'd take him by yourself, but if you need help, I'm, I'm...You know, the thing is, sir, we take requests, not orders. You should know better than that."

    Blown away by Mike at last night's Flight to Mars show in Santa Ana. WOW. Was right up front - so close I had to bend back to avoid getting a guitar in the face when he came way up in front. He HANDED me and my son each a pick - may never wash my hand again.
    And I won the signed Bobble head they raffled.

    An Incredible night. Such an opportunity to get up close to genius - don't miss this tour!

    Good article/Q&A about Mike. Only song that surprised me a lot was Off He Goes. Great song, of course...just never thought of it as a "Mike McCready" solo song. :?
