Awesome guitarist and super nice guy. I met him after his show this last week and he was very friendly and genuine. F**k any haters here, this is one cool dude and a great guitar player.
The terrifying guy with the best guitar tone ever.... speaks volumes when metal Gods like Dio and Coverdale considers him to be the best guy to do the job for them....
This is like a spa day for the ears. There is nothing better than hearing professionals play at the top of their game. Magic spills out all over the place. Wonderful!!
Met Doug on a Whitesnake Tour. A TRUE Gentlemen. We talked for ever and he took photos with me and even posed on the stage during his solo, so I had excellent photo's.
Doug is probably the all-time best shredder using a Gibson Les Paul, only Gary Moore could rival him. Might sound an odd thing to say on face value, but I think he is still criminally underrated. The guy has AWESOME talent. His perfect four finger technique and speed almost equal Mr Satriani, the greatest compliment I could give.
I'm obsessed with his playing, his look, and he plays Gold Tops ( like me), only better LOL He's definitely one of my favorites now if not the favorite
I have the DVD / CD set from this tour and it is my Fav. Just incredible. And I was at Dio's second to last show in America in Cleveland in Heaven and He'll.. Good times..RIP Elf.
When I was younger, that's all I cared about was how fast one of these guys could shred. As I've gotten older, my tastes have changed drastically. I came to understand why the older guys loved Clapton, Hendrix and Gilmour so much and looked upon them as truly legendary players. I still have a soft spot for shredders, but I have to 'feel' the conviction of their playing. If it's just notational chop suey, I'm not into it anymore. I play guitar semi-professionally, too. It helps pay my bills
You sound like basically every single middle aged guitar player. Do you guys all try to sound exactly the same or is it some lack of creativity that takes over with time?
@@vestmentofflesh And you sound just like me, 15 years ago. Serious. No smartass tone intended. There's something that happens to a lot of us where our mindset changes and we appreciate what we used to dog on. Even many of the shredders change. Paul Gilbert's live solos aren't as fiery off the rip as they were 25 years ago. Tastes change with time.
@@vestmentofflesh The opposite. Mere speed chasing completely limits creativity and musicality. Children get impressed by mere speed, but once they grow up they realize speed in itself means absolutely nothing. Just compare an the solo of Hell's bells or Back in Black with any Malmsteen solo.
This gold Gibsom looks amazing! I am interested as a layman in so many things so I decided to ask some questions here (please do no lough me): 1. If the Gibson or Strato has any influence on career (I mean sound, limitations - e.g. Gibson give not tremolo bar, or whammmy bar - don't know what is correct) 2. If some son we have e.g. 3 chords E, D, A - so we should change the scale of improvisationt along with changing the chords? 3. How far is for the best rock guitarists like Steve Vai to specific sound of jazz playing - is it special kind of scale or simply style of articulation and any of the best rock guitarists after small time could be good jazzman? And reverse? If any reckognized jazz guitarists would be able play nice rock&blues improvisations immediately or also after some time of triaing. If in conemorary times when rockman use more complicated techniques e.g. tapping, etc. etc. than jazzman is it still true that those jazzman are on the top? IMHO NOT ! Jazz is invented style and I can ivent my strange style in which I will the best in the World? 4. What about tose many scales - is Steve Vai plaing only Lydian? I know most of beginners play pentatonic. What influence have the scales? If the guitarists think about it playing improvistations? Are the bond with one scale/mode? Thank you in advance! :)
People criticizing Doug: but this guy make in one DAY of his work playing guitar more money than a bunch of stupid people here can do in a YEAR giving their asses to his or hers boss.
Love it. Alan B'stard on keyboards!!! You'd have to be over 50 to get this though, and only if you appreciated British, early 1980's alternative comedy shows. Apart from that, Doug does the business as usual.
Doug told me he saw spaceships when he was driving from a Vegas gig back to LA . 14 years ago or whatever .... I totally believe it . Because I was in the spaceship . looking over him
I think nowadays Doug's the closest to Randy Rhoads. I don't think Reb can take care of Whitesnake all by himself but I do think Ozzy should've consider Doug instead of Gus. Man... that'd be mind blowing!
Ele foi o Zakk do Dio o cara é um monstro na Guitarra tambem sem dever nada em Tacnicas uma pegada de Metal diferente mais raiz pois esta era a linha de Metal do mestre Dio e o Doug destruia nesta linha
Doug Aldrich is a monster on guitar.
Dio being Dio always gave his bandmates time to shine

Randy lives through this dude

I was like #69...lol
Aldrich is the absolute man, mad talented.

You nailed it, I got to meet him a few years back at a show and he cool as hell to boot
I would say in my top 3 for living kick ass guitarists, amazing live and hes a cool cat in person as well.
I'm obsessed with his playing, his look, and he plays Gold Tops ( like me), only better LOL
He's definitely one of my favorites now if not the favorite
Alex Skolnick?
Joh sykes not bad either
GREAT Guitar Tone!!!!!!!!!
Doug is one of my fav power rock guitarists but after hearing Goldy’s live solo from ‘86 , that was super epic!!!
Ozzy doesn't deserve Aldrich :)
That tone is sick af.
I have the DVD / CD set from this tour and it is my Fav. Just incredible. And I was at Dio's second to last show in America in Cleveland in Heaven and He'll.. Good times..RIP Elf.
Was it 05 or 06 ?
@@migatron1 06 ring s bell
Could fall in luv with this man a thousand times, thanks for the great time i had at the HiRock Festival this year,
LOVE
Crazy melodic playing. I hear shades of Rhodes, Moore, Beck, Schon...all kinds of influences here.
One of the best performances ever for rock.
Wow, shredding out of this world!
Sarzo went crazy on this !
I REMEMBER SEEING THIS ON DVD AND BEING TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY BY THIS UNACCOMPANIED SOLO..
STILL AM...
now people, this is some bad ass guitarist, a great great guitarist
Outstanding!!
Crazy good Doug! 🤘🎸💥❤️
It'd be amazing to witness such an extraordinary live performance...\m/

Rock on Doug rock on .
A real guitar beast..incredible❤🔥❤🔥
Fantastic playing and such a great tone
I personally hear some Garry Moore in his playing style
Slash leaved the chat...
GOD Bless You 🎸🎸🎸
One of the best gold tops iv'e seen!
So Badassssss!!!! I cant get over Doug he's out of the planet
GREAT PERSON, GREAT SPIRIT, GREAT PLAYER...
one of the most underrated...
Agree.. Doug actually toured as a guitar show but I was one state away.
Hell yeah your all awesome rockers forever i love the way you rock your guitar forever 🎸🎸🤘🤘💯💯😎😎🤘🤘🎸🎸💯💯
Powerful guitarworks💯💯💯💯💯
Yeah, Oh my! A man with chest hair (Doug)!!!!!! This man never ages. Still looks like a kid. Hate him/Love him!
One of the best bass players in the business as well with Rudy Sarzo dio had an awesome band here.
Awesome perfomance, i'm a blues lover, but he is excellent.
doug is too good for ozzy, so was randy and so was jake e. lee
And he’s ended up in the Dead Daisies?
My favorite is Craig Goldy
Especially when Ozzy treated Jake like absolute garbage despite being one of the best song writers and guitarists he ever had.
@@glenpedersen2337probably pays great
that's why he played with the greatest vocalist - DIO
Happy birthday Doug!!
Incredible :) Underrated :)
He is simply The Best rock guitarist today.
Doug most definitely can get the job done......and then some. He’s an awesome axeman.
I saw him with Whitesnake a couple of weeks ago he is very underrated.
His riff during rainbow in the dark was so insane!!
Doug !! I love this Guitarist !!! mâââââwesome !!!
This was his audition video for Whitesnake!! ha ha
ностальгия!Что может быть лучше?!!!
Holy shit, this is a GO. Super nice work.
Nicest gut in the whole Circus And Most awsome Player!

Grande Doug! Uno de mi top 2 de guitarristas C:
Aldrich is so under rated, this kat is true rock & roll..

When see Doug i remember RR

ДАК ПРОСТО БЕСПОДОБЕН ☝🤘🤘🤘🤘
Doug has both the technical chops as well as the soulful, blues chops, a great comno!!!
Thanks, I checked him playing and I liked it too. You can't go wrong with Judas Priest either. Thanks much!
Holy Nod to Ace Frehley at the beginning, Batman.
Pretty much it man. I was thinking exactly the same thing before I read your comment.
Pure Gunslinger
Awesome video! Incredible Quality!
Great guitarist and band.
Greetings from South Africa.
