      “One foot out the door” was written by Eddie shortly after a particularly nasty domestic incident between the rocker and then wife, Valerie Bertinelli.

      Yeah, Eddie jumped into the fountain of youth and got a new body and hands. Amazing isn't it? Dude, this guy plays better than Eddie. Eddie was God back in the day, but now there are 2-5 million players out there better. Just like there are a million martial artists today that can beat Bruce Lee. It's called human progress bro. It doesn't mean Eddie sucks. It means Eddie was so good, he inspired players to practice harder and be better than him. Just like Bruce Lee did in MA. Once mankind stops trying to be better than the current top guy in "anything", we are DONE advancing as a species. Understand man?

    I'm using a Line 6 Flextone II amp in this recording... got the backing track from guitar backing track (the site) ... I tried Amplitube recently and was disappointed that I could not get a good EVH tone with any of the amp models I tried...

    • @briankliewer8275
      @briankliewer8275 4 года назад

      That explains why I couldn't find the "Rectified" amp model on my Pocket POD which is based off the POD 2.0 bean. The same amp model(1994 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Tremoverb combo) on the POD 2.0 and Pocket Pod is listed as "Treadplate". Definately the same amp model. I adjusted to his settings and it sounded great! Shows that the 20yr old Line 6 Pod 2.0 modeling technology still holds up well to todays standards.
      There is a Van Halen preset on the pocket pod called"Jump" based on the "Brit High Gain" model that I was using previously but this is much better..
