643.0. "Eric Gayles" by DELNI::B_KELLEY () Tue Dec 17 1991 15:25

    
    Has anyone heard of Eric Gayles? Eric Galyes band? 
    He is supposed to be a 16 year old excellent guitar player.
    I have only seen one article on him and from it I ordered
    his album. I do not have it yet so not sure how it sounds,
    but they said it was a power trio. 
    I think I did see his band (3 piece) on a show once and 
    form that he looked fantastic. Some Hendrix style.
    
    Anyone guitar freaks out here with any info. on him?

    YES !  The song that was getting lots of airplay here in Dixie was
    `Sign Of The Storm'.  I'd compare this bands sound/style to Robin
    Trower/Jon Butcher/Hendrix, with a touch of Jeff Healey thrown in.  He
    uses a wah-wah pedal, too much at times.  It's very `in-your-face'
    music ... no mellow stuff here.  When I first got the tape from a
    buddy, I couldn't get enough of it.  But after a couple steady weeks, I
    got enough of it.  It's still a good investment, methinks !

    You saw 'em live and couldn't tell if he's black ?   8^)
    
    I like these guys a lot - but I don't see them becoming mega-stars. 
    The songs sounded a LOT alike ...

    I just got the album yesterday and listened to about
    6 tracks. I liked it. Some good instremental parts.
    Good guitar.
    Group does sound a lot like Hendrix Band of Gypsys.
    I am going to have to hear it a few more times for it
    to sink in. Need to play it loud to get the effect.
    
    At this time I still like Stevie Sales Colorcode
    album a little better. I saw him live with Satch.
    
    Did you ever here their stuff?

    African-American!
643.10That's what I think!COMET::FRISBYALove Bomb BabyWed Dec 18 1991 19:578
      He's African-American and he's also a VERY BAD Jimi Hendrix
    
                 RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
     The songs are weak and the singer is ACK!!!!!

    I also saw Stevie Salas Colorcode with Satch a couple of years ago.  I
    really enjoyed them, thought they ripped!  Some other people that saw
    that tour didn't like 'em, but that's probably because they were into
    the Satriani vein stuff only.  I never did pick up the album.

643.13Tony MAC is were it's at........COMET::FRISBYALove Bomb BabyThu Dec 19 1991 10:519
    
         I like Hendrix but don't tell any of my close friends they'd kill
     me.   I think he had his own thing goin' on. Very cool vibe!
    
       But all these "He sounds just like Hendrix players" make me wanna
     HURL! 8^)

Hey Friz,

How'd Storm sound ??  I work with a couple of 'em....

643.15Larry and Mike...Is that who you work with?COMET::FRISBYALove Bomb BabyThu Dec 19 1991 13:4610
    Seen them before.........Missed em' this time.
    
            They're just like your band..........You know I feel about
    cover bands.
    
        O.k. but I'd rather listen to the radio rather than deal with the
     dorks in the bars!
