  • Hi all!
    Countdown.....New Years.....ha.ha. So clever. First things first, John Norum is a criminally underrated guitar player. I got lucky enough to see him with Dokken when he toured with them. It was bitchin to say the least. Also, Europe has a ton of other tunes Ive always dug. Anyway, thanks for everything. It means the world and I hope that all your dreams for the the upcoming year come true! Thanks for always rockin my casbah!
    Best to ya

    Thanks for a great 2017! Many youtubers had alot of complaints with RUclips this year, including myself. I just wanted to let ya know, I'll never let an algorithm bully me into doing anything different. I'll do what I've always done, which is take songs that you guys want to hear and give them my best shot :). Cheers to hoping all your dreams and plans for 2018 come true.
    Much love,
    E

You've done alot of amazing work this year and I cannot wait to see what you do in 2018!... is it just me or has these past 18 years gone so fast?

      mr sholok id feel ok with that. it'd be better than the horrible r+b garbage rap music my basement neighbor chooses to blast in the middle of the day whenever he gets high or some nonsense. not all that type of music is trash just the garbled noise that he puts on.

    Got to see Europe in Vegas a year & a 1/2 ago, it was a meet 'n' greet at the Hard Rock Cafe' AND MAN, those men put on one helluva' show. So after getting their autographs (from some of the nicest guys ever), we got to touch Joey Tempest's guitar, while he was playing - - their bassist also handed me a pick since we were in the front row. Such a good time, Wifey & I will never forget our best city vacation EVER. All HAIL Mr. John Leven (bass)!!! Cheers from Aurora, Colorado.

    One of the first songs I ever learned to play all the way through as a teen. Still one of my favorite solo's to play.. Of course I play it like Norum.. Don't have the chops to even come close to playing it like Erock, but still a fun song to play. And yes, Norum is an incredible talent. There's a video of him playing live and Paul Gilbert is on the side of the stage studying him.. That says something..
