bluesdriver, and what have you ever done in life? What's that? Nothing worth note you say? Thought so. Please get your facts straight, you're embarrassing yourself.
Elliot just hanging out with us guitar bros. Reminds me of Steve Stevens or Paul Gilbert. Humble, friendly, helpful, unassuming, and can melt your face on guitar without coming off like a narcissistic showoff. Like, "Let me show you how I do that, I'm sure you can get something from me that will make you better and happier with your music." We're privileged to have folks like Elliot Easton on this planet. Thanks.
The summer that the Candy - Oh Album was released I had the pleasure of seeing the Cars in a very small venue in LaCrosse Wisconsin. I stood front and center main floor (General Admission) and witnessed one of the best shows in my life ! Thank you Elliot for being the inspirational authentic performer you are....
Elliot Easton is my favorite guitar player. I love Hendrix, Clapton, Vaughn, Gilmour, Page, Van Halen, Allman, King, and Betts...but I always come back to Easton. He is so versatile and can play anything with style. Ric Ocasek was my inspiration to play guitar (rhythm) but Elliot Easton is my lead hero. Find a lead Elliot plays that is not smooth, luscious, melodic, and fits the song perfectly. I love Ringo on drums for the same reason. He is also a wealth of knowledge and a beautiful human being. Peace and love, Elliot!!
👍🏻 Elliot Easton isn’t my favorite but he’s come up with a lot of nice, impressive, and very catchy guitar pieces. I suppose it’s common for people to overlook great guitarists who played in bands where the guitar wasn’t consistently showcased. Ironically, his being under appreciated may actually be an indicator of how good he is because he tucked really cool guitar bits so seamlessly into a song.
Elliot is the man. Back when the first Cars album was released, I was blown away by his inventive licks, like the twangy rockabilly solo on "Best Friends Girl". Still one of my favorite guitarists to this day. Very underrated throughout his career.
Good to see Elliot out and about! The inspired so many guitarist. His style is so underrated and hard to emulate...if at all. Thank you PG for presenting!
Met the cars backstage one time, Benjamin Ore, perfect gentleman nice guy, he was the only one who would talk to us, and then there was Mr. Eastman, huge snob, told him I was a left-handed guitar player also, rolled his eyes, turned around and walked away, such a nice man, if you like stuck up snobs, I’m glad he looks like a troll now
You know how many times he has probably heard someone say they are left handed guitar player. Why didn't you Spartacus kick him in the a## as he walked away. Or tell him you have a new patent on wig glue lol
@@USNVA-yn6cp the look on his face, he actually went out of his way to make sure we knew he was a snob and better than us wouldn’t talk to me, that is the definition of a snob, if you don’t wanna talk to anybody, then go sit in the room, where nobody can find you, I played in bands from 1980 until 2010. Do you know how many people I talk to when I didn’t feel like it, it’s part of the gig, he’s a great guitar player always thought he was but sometimes it’s like they say you’re better off not meeting your heroes you might not like it
Could sit and watch this man play all day and I wouldn’t move !!! Such a great player. The way he infuses rockabilly licks in whenever he pleases is pure magic. Top Notch brother
Elliot is absolutely mind-blowing. He can make his guitar sound like a voice and there's only one other who can do that (Jeff Beck). I never ever get tired of hearing Elliot play! 💥🎸🎸🎸
One of modern music's most under rated and under appreciated guitarists. His guitar solos with the cars are like a song within a song. But I have to ask...is that a wig?
Elliot Easton is my favorite guitarist in the Whole United Airlines... The thing I admire most are unique sounds no one else can make... This guy sure has a great arsenal...I often ask myself what is it that makes someone bridge the gap into stardom? Is it the way you play? Look? Act? Smile? Once you are there, you must ask yourself, how did I get here? What a wonderful world in which we live. My favorite is Mr. Easton walking out the house in England into a British Green Jaguar KJ6. Custom made Cowboy Boots, nice leather jacket. The best is the Fender guitar case fitting precisely into the back seat.
so underated for his overall talent. I've always liked Elliot's sound' and the guy is sound in his picking and his runs. I also picked up on a bit of some country flair,The guy just doesn't miss and he's a true master. Touch and Go and Dangerous type are my two favorites because of him!
I picked up a weird left handed guitar called an Arpeggio Korina Custom - the store was just trying to get rid of it. As it turns out it was made for Elliot by a boutique builder. Great sounding guitar. Neck is like a baseball bat.
Such a original and under-rated player! I always appreciated seeing him play in videos/TV shows growing up as there weren't really any other left-handed guitarists for me to look up to at the time. All of those are great guitars, but that Trini Lopez just sounded so great!! Love the Tikibird, the LP and the SG/LP. Wondering if the neck on the SG/LP is fatter than the normal SG's?
As I’ve said before, anyone with a clue about guitar playing, appreciates the skills and taste of Elliot Easton’s work. If they don’t like power pop, then screw ‘em. What does “underrated” even mean? Seriously
That is one badass mother on guitar. Always was and always will be. CandyO was a masterpiece
Debut wasn't bad either! lol!
Elliot Easton one of the most incredible and incredibly underrated guitarists ever! Sounded great!
@@bluesdriver1142Not BS, he was innovative and creative for the band he was in. if you played you’d know..
Not underrated at all..
bluesdriver, and what have you ever done in life?
What's that? Nothing worth note you say?
Thought so.
Please get your facts straight, you're embarrassing yourself.
Elliot is a genuine badass. I've always loved The Cars and his guitar work is so unique.
I totally agree!
Agreed!!! Comes off as a modern day Eric Clapton - Cream era

Easton a true master. He’s one of the very best of all time. And a seemingly nice guy.
One of my favourite guitarists. Elliot is so cool.

He probably stopped at Dave’s Guitar there in La Crosse too.

@@USNVA-yn6cp believe me, I don’t sit around thinking about Elliot, Easton all day, but if his name comes up, that’s the first thing I think of

Incredible lead on The Cars songs. The band was good but his playing stood out
The melodic wizardry of this man is SO underrated! ❤
Elliot is absolutely mind-blowing. He can make his guitar sound like a voice and there's only one other who can do that (Jeff Beck). I never ever get tired of hearing Elliot play! 💥🎸🎸🎸

Elliot, one of the best, EVER!
Always Awe inspired by Mr Elliott Easton...I appreciate you,Elliot!

Thank You, Elliot!
Got to meet Elliot twice years ago a really nice guy
Love Elliot, long live the Cars !
A very entertaining gentleman to watch and listen to...Been a fan for 45 years...
Dropping Taj’s Ain’t whine to whistle like it’s nothing on that Trini. Master of class.
AGAIN ELLIOT YOU ARE SO UNDERRATED... YOU ARE AWESOME ON THE GUITAR BRO. AN THATS A FACT!!!!!
The blue Les Paul is Custom ordered Standard model.

King of the riffs! legend!
That little solo floored me!

I’ve wanted one of those Tiki Birds for years! He’s one of my favorite guitar players
Elliot is a string bending master
He wrote some great riffs. Genuis.
Cool guitars ! Love the ' Tiki Bird ' ( FireBird ) , JazzMaster ( Dots ! ) , and that Trini ( What a gift ! ) ! Thanks !
Always loved his style
If you've never heard his instrumental "Walk on Walden" you're missing out.
OG badass.
This man is in the RRHOF for a reason.
I picked up a weird left handed guitar called an Arpeggio Korina Custom - the store was just trying to get rid of it. As it turns out it was made for Elliot by a boutique builder. Great sounding guitar. Neck is like a baseball bat.
Elliot is one of my favorate lefties, I would love to go thru his stash of guitars...
Would be so cool to hang with Elliot to hear his stories and talk guitars and amps.
Such a original and under-rated player! I always appreciated seeing him play in videos/TV shows growing up as there weren't really any other left-handed guitarists for me to look up to at the time.
All of those are great guitars, but that Trini Lopez just sounded so great!! Love the Tikibird, the LP and the SG/LP. Wondering if the neck on the SG/LP is fatter than the normal SG's?
He seems like a very nice guy, very entertaining
Friggin awesome
Looks like Ric Ocasek left Elliot his wig in his will !! yeah!! new hair!!
Ooooh, that Tikibird tho!😍
Ok I ordered one .. if Elliot likes it .. I will give it a shot
Wish Elliot would have shown his old Dean guitars, including his prototypes.
The Gibson SG
Designed for Batman, shredded by Elliot.
Yo, Elliot, do you remember Leapin' Lena (East Side Heaters)? Jerome Higgins? 😎
Nobody wrote & played better lead breaks than this guy
Is there a name to that song he played on the Triny Lopez?
Farther on Down the Road - Jesse Davis
Ain't Gwine to Whistlin Dixie...by Taj Mahal.
Finally, something for left-handed guitar players!
VASTLY UNDERRATED AND OVERLOOKED GUITARIST..
As I’ve said before, anyone with a clue about guitar playing, appreciates the skills and taste of Elliot Easton’s work.
If they don’t like power pop, then screw ‘em.
What does “underrated” even mean? Seriously
Wow!
^..^~~
god bless Elliot Eastman ya ole fart
His toupee is atrocious.
FAWK gibson, where are the Deans?
why the annoying f-ing music in the background?
Why did he change his name from Elliot Steinberg to Elliot Easton? Sounded too Jewish before? Hope that wasn't the reason!
Elliot was cute 40 years ago, but now looks silly.
