All rock. No talk. Uncle Ben Eller here with a boatload of classic 80's riffs and my favorite amp i've ever bought, my Friedman BE100! I am seriously in love with this thing. If you're going for tones that start at Van Halen brown sound and go onwards towards the Sunset Strip sound of the hair metal era, this is THE AMP for YOU! Its just amazing, every time i play it. So to demonstrate, i'm gonna lay down some of my favorite riffs of the 80's (and a little of the 90's) on you! No talk, no tabs, no lesson. Just TONE. Can you name all these iconic riffs from the 80's?! Drop them in the comments if you can!
Gear:
MXR GT/OD (settings onscreen)
Friedman BE100
Suhr Modern White Tiger (Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz pickups)
Suhr Rl/IR box
Stereo Delay in Logic Pro X
And thats it. I had a lot of fun making this, so expect more videos like it coming soon! Next up: 10 minutes of Van Halen riffs with my EVH Gear!!!

@DFV Louderilk I was just stating "the glam era" not classifying bands. And it was an awesome time. Biggest metal scene in America that almost completely died when that era died.

@Guithulhu 2 жыл бұрын

@DFV Louderilk Black Sabbath is actually my alltime favorite band. Floyd is second. The Wall is one of my alltime favorite albums. I'm old, so the 70s is my favorite music era. Everything didn't sound the same.... But I did love the 80s because the metal bands started incorporating classical influence in the guitar parts heavily.

@Guithulhu 2 жыл бұрын

@DFV Louderilk I felt like, towards the end, the Glam era did go overboard and made people dislike the genre, ushering in the Grunge era and the rock scene in America died at the same time. Was it glam that killed it or grunge? I always felt like it was grunge because the clubs were all jam packed and even nobodies got Rick status playing in a band...and when grunge came in, everybody stopped going to clubs and all the metal clubs closed.

Ben, your playing contributes considerably to the tone, but Dave makes and amp with a glorious tone. Takes me back to those songs from my pre teen and teenage years. There is something about music from that time of your life that just sticks with you and really grabs you. Just hearing a single riff can immediately put a smile on your face and bring you back to some formative experience in your life.
