@mychalmassie396 7 жыл бұрын

That's cool, Mike. My parents named me Slash Harrison as my first and middle name(family names). (They call me Harrison) What's funny is that I was born in 1977 before either was famous or ever heard of at all. Everyone thinks I was named after them. Coincidentally, I love his movies(H. Ford) and Slash's music, a lot. Mike's what I'm playing on my CD now; love him.

Good call! They have so much soul and are so expressive. Lots of emotions in their playing, which always moves me Two of my favs as well, along with many others of course.. Johnny Marr, Jimi Hendrix (of course,) Jimmy Page (of course,) Robert Fripp, David Long, Dean DeLeo, etc...

Major Jimi influence, just like John Frusciante. Except that John leans more towards Jimi's more melodic chordal side while Mike leans more towards Jimi's wild bluesy lead guitar style.

@danmar007 2 жыл бұрын

He sounds very much like him. I love that too as Hendrix is one of my top one guitarist. :-) If they make a movie with a guy who looks like Hendrix but can't play, I'm sure Mike could provide the guitar work and make it sound genuine.

I mean watching Mike play this, he's an amazing soloist, and Stone has created or co-created most of PJ's most recognizable, signature, awesome riffs like Alive, Even Flow, Black, Do the Evolution, Alone, etc... hey are both awesome and yes, incredibly underrated! It's not all about shredding, there's awesomeness in creating a slow but emotional solo like Immortality's I mean they rock and that's it, Hail the Jam!!

I can't tell you how GREAT it is to see REAL music on youtube for a change instead of a managerie of tweens singing off key and getting called "stars"... The 90's were FULL of stars who STILL rock.

One of the greatest guitar players ever. HIs work on Ten Proved Blues was still alive and always pushing good rock music, something that greatly lacks in Rock Today. Blues was the soul of rock, Mike truly has it. Seeing Him Live is the closest ill have to seeing A stevie/Jimi type of figurehead on the Guitar. His Tones are Unreal, never relies on his effects, just uses them to paint textures. Nothing has it seems just roars Live, Alive, Evenflow, huge classic Rock solos. Keep on Rocking Mike and Pearl Jam! One of the Last real Rock N roll Bands.
