During the many years of playing guitar I have met some of the greatest musicians in the music industry and some of the best guitarists in the world. Whilst they were touring Australia I have had the privilege to meet with some of them.
Whilst touring Australia I was invited backstage to meet, Steve Vai and his band, (The Breed) who consist of Tony Mcalpine (Guitar & keyboards) and brilliant lead guitarist in his own right. Billy Sheehan (bass) undoubtedly the best rock bass guitarist in the world. Dave Weiner (Rhythm guitar, acoustic guitar, sitar) who is a Steve Vai prodigy, and Jeremy Colson (drums and percussion). On the first leg of their Australian tour, these guys were generous with there time here in Perth and shared some of their valuble time with everyone that met with them.
Touring Austraila in 2005 Joe Satriani signed my 'Gibson SG' @ Guitar World in Cannington Perth WA.
Nuno Bettencourt of fame for his band 'Extreme'. Brilliant guitarist singer/song writer touring Australia with his band 'Population 1'. Joondulup, north Perth WA.
June'05 I met with Mr Jim Marshall the master and creater of Marshall Amps who signed my electric Acoustic guitar @ Kosmic Music in Perth WA.
Peter Frampton icon of the late 60's -70's was in Perth to promote his new DVD/CD 'NOW'. Limited signing @Kosmic. He signed a couple of my guitars.
Lead guitarist for 'Black Sabbath's 'Ozzy Osbourne and giutar mad man Zakk Wylde toured Australia in '06. Signing at Kosmic Sound. Fantastic guitarist and nice bloke for an all round bad boy of rock! He also signed a couple of my guitars.
Nov '06 Guitar God Mr Yngwie Malmsteen was invited to open the new Kosmic store at Cannington in Perth WA. I was one of the lucky few who got to meet this mad man of metal shred. He was overly interested in my Gibson (Les Paul) and asked me if I would like to give it to him as a gift. I told him to f*** off in a joking fashion, so he wrote "Play Fender" on the body of my guitar after he signed it...LOL!!!
March '07, Paul Gilbert The Mr Big / Racer X Guitar Shred Master, was in Perth at Hale Academy of the Arts. At this once only Guitar clinic he generously gave his time to answer questions and share some of his favourite licks with the guests that attended.
I have placed a few of the Perth WA photos below. I hope you like them.
