Haha! I was at the Victory Tour concert in Dallas at the old Texas Stadium; I was 13. My aunt won tickets on a radio station along with a Victory tour jacket she still has. I think Eddie only showed up the first night which was the night we were there fortunately. He came snaking in from the back of the stage and everyone went nuts. Great memory.

obvi king ed. just, everything about his solo was amazing, so much better than everyone else, don’t get me wrong, i like all of them, just ed is the best guitar player in the world
Randy by far, he put his heart in that solo, and it came through each note, if you listen, there were more in Randy’s playing, just hands down no comparison
this is my first time of seeing some of the slide concert footage. I’ve actually never seen clips of it such as these and I don’t know who Jennifer Batten is where she came from the outlandish outfits look so ridiculous but she definitely jams. I wonder where she is now ???

Eddie wrote the solo but he didn’t play it as good as I thought he would. But hey he’s still the GOAT. Jennifer and Orianthi both did a really good job but I prefer Jennifer’s Solo. Slash shouldn’t try to touch that solo ever again, and I really like Slash, he was one of my favorite players growing up.
Well slash it's very passionate. If you see GnR concert, he will never perform exactly same the way he play on recording or another concert. That's why michael trust him to play on serveral albums like "Give In to Me"(Dangerous),"D.S"(HIStory),"Privacy"(Invincible)
Jennifer é fantástica, mas o mais bem executado foi o de Orianthi, o único que não "fritou", r que deu pra ouvir cada nota sem atropelos e muito bem explicada...
The tone Eddie was using was nasty good -- he the best.
That was because his guitar was made from different types of wood than the other guitars

Yep, Eddie is the one that will ALWAYS be on the studio recording!

Yes. Absolutely awful
And I might add that the guitar solo was so good that the mistake didn't matter.
Sólo Michael Jackson se podía codear con tan grandes guitarrista del rock. Era respetado por todos aún los más rockeros

Looks like’92 was the sweet spot with Jennifer. Great theatrics too.

You forgot to put in Gregg Wright! He did an excellent job playing the solo on the Victory Tour!
Eddie as the original, but I have to say Ori was pretty special as she was the last to play it with MJ.
Great display that reveals division of perspective.
2 musicians, 2 DEI hires.

Stick to Kid Rock.
