After putting it to the vote for what solo people wanted to hear next, Pink Floyds Comfortably Numb came in at the top. Here is a version paying tribute to one of the most amazing guitarists ever to walk the earth, Mr. David Gilmour. A great song, an amazing guitar player and an absolute pleasure to play. Enjoy!!! This solo is also #5 in the Gibson.com Top 50 guitars solos of all time!!

8 years later, metal heads realize and acknowledge that this man pretty much saved Judas Priest from obsolescence.

@Pauly421 3 жыл бұрын

I've seen them twice with RIchie and yeah he steals the show, but Rob can still do it all he's incredible

@omarmahfouz5599 3 жыл бұрын

He is a great addition, but pretty harsh to call it obsolescence. We are talking about Judas Priest here, the greatest to ever do it.

@jeffreybabino8161 3 жыл бұрын

Yep sure did iam a priest fan loved the other two guitar players but he definitely saved this band

I don't know about obsolescence, but Ritchie HAS brought some much-needed fresh blood to the songwriting.

I will never forget the moment you pointed at my wife with your finger confirming that you were looking at her singing along and cheering despite the fact that she is 56years old, she felt so privileged, it was a definitive moment as a Judas Priest fan, thanks again Richie!

@user-lv7ph7hs7l 13 күн бұрын

Be careful though. Last show I met a girl but her attention definetly wandered to Richie pretty often and she was super hot so he saw her. Luckily I play guitar and I look like a discount Richie so I got to be the stand in. I was so skeptical of him at first. Saw one show when he was new and begrudgingly accepted I didn't miss KK that show. Then I saw him a bunch more times and now he is among my favourite guitarist. Tipton, Downing, Rhoads, Iommi, Lee, SRV and Faulkner. Fk yeah. And being a Flying V fan I'll be building a replica of the blue one. No EMGs though. Sorry :)

I know nothing of heavy metal. I do not know of this artist. I do know that this piece of art is staggeringly beautiful. The bends and vibrato are breathtaking. The artists control of the instrument voice is masterful. He tributes the original lovingly, respectfully and with a gentle touch, yet paints it In a palette of his own.

This is the best cover version to this date. The vibrato on the first notes are really slow and wide/wobbly but still feels right on-pitch and very accurate all the time. I have no idea how you do that by bending up and down to seminotes that are not even in the scale. I guess vibrato is one of those things that cannot really be theoretically analysed and understood. It just "feels" right or wrong.

No doubt this is the best version of a lead interpretation for comfortably numb I’ve heard. Truly love Richie Faulkner as a late bloomer Priest fan, he’s the reason I went to the fire power concert a few months back. His stage presence is very cool. However, David Gilmore is the person who makes the hair stand up on my arms when I hear the original recording. Lots of feeling and emotion in that lead.

Excellent cover - just to say that this PF song is my all time favourite song. When I first heard it way back in the 1970's when it first came out on vinyl, I played it 40 or 50 times and bawled my eyes out every time I listened to it. Even now, I still find it difficult not to shed a tear every time I hear it!

Saw Judas Priest at the Bell Center in Montreal last night, Richie Faulkner has quite a stage presence. Rather than feeling that something was missing because KK wasn't there, I felt that there was a new dynamic added to the band and it was one of the best concerts I have seen. Well done Richie! (The black Flying V with the white binding around the body and neck and what looked like probably a Floyd Rose is the nicest looking Flying V I have seen.)
