He's not into a cover band, he doesn't have to play note for note, and if he misses 1 or 2, wtf? it's not classical music, it's only r'n'r!  |
There's a difference between varying a solo and ****in' it up. In the mid-90's he often didn't stick to the original formula of his solos, yet they sounded great and fitted the music. This was just ****ed up and he sounded completely off.
That's what I've been realizing on several vids of him from the last two years. Where he used to be a god when it came to improvising a certain solo or song on the spot, he seems to have lost this talent completely and most of his efforts in doing so recently have been rather poor.
