I personally don't like Eddie Van Halen's Eruption, but I understand why he was given credit for tapping. When kids annoy people like me in guitar stores doing sloppy tapping, they never play The Musical Box by Genesis, they play Eruption. Maybe Hackett deserves credit for tapping, but Van Halen made tapping a household guitar technique. |
Yeah, and the tapping part to the Musical Box is easier than Eruption too. But I'm not too suprised- you don't see too many 14 year olds at Guitar Center playing the Musical Box.

Mégo, a great keyboard player who played for a short lived but amazing prog band, Pollen, is now the keyboard player for Céline Dion. What a waste of talent!

What yanks my chain? Well, there is very, very small, tiny man, named Edward, who frequently assaults me by strangling me with a bicycle chain, and I believe I saw him take that from my bike; therefore, that would be my chain he is yanking.

I dont understand it. Do they think they will lose readers if they devote some editorial space or review space to Prog? Surely it would greatly enhance their customer base! Or do they believe that including Prog would be like "selling out"?

Mindless taping I don't care about; Steve Hackett puts sense into that by adding a layer of composition that makes the taping worhty. The other taper mentioned can be replaced with a computer easily.

The very first time you log onto a Windows XP compter, you get that stupid balloon that pops up to tell you "There are unused icons on your desktop".
No sh*t, this is the first time I've logged on! Gotta love Microsoft.
Makes me want to punch Bill Gates.

When someone is typing a sentence, and they put a parentheses in a sentence, ( but forget to put the other one at the end, so it leads you up trying to find the end of the parenthetical sentence but there is none so you don't know where it should go. It is very annoying.

^Let me guess, they give VH credit when it is actually Hackett's discovery. That would be on my list as well.

I don't think the tapping from Dancing with the Moonlit Knight is easier than Eruption, though, and Selling England by the Pound pre-dated Van HAlen 1 by 5 years.
