Love this Jim! I was hoping you possibly knew what guitar Eddie used on the solo and overdubs for And The Cradle Will Rock? Is it the Les Paul seen in the pictures at Sunset Sound in 1980? I tried playing the ATCWR guitar solo on my 1959 Gibson Reissue today and it was not fun. Haha!
Hey Toby! Thank you! You know, Ed has said, a few times, in various interviews, that he used his Gibson ES 335 on the Cradle Will Rock Solo. Yeah, it's a weird solo, for sure!
That’s the trick! Johnny Beane did a great video on this years ago and it’s a superb example of Eddie having fun with the Floyd Rose for one of the first times on an album session!
Yep. I remember seeing Johnny Bean’s video a few years ago. He did a great job! I think there’s a few others out there that demonstrate “the trick,” too. I just did it because it’s almost “obligatory,” since I’m putting together a WACF video. 😉 It was a quick, one take - it took me longer to figure out how to reverse the video! Although, I do need to figure out the “reverb explosion” at the end (beginning).
@@jegauss I had thought about how to recreate that ending. At one time, I used the reverse recording mode on my old Line 6 DL4 delay modeler to do the main part and then I just took a sample of the big reverb “explosion” as you aptly described and loaded it on my Ditto looper, mostly because I couldn’t figure out how to recreate that bit! Incredibly, it worked really well!
@@AllenGarberGuitarFun yeah, but that’s “cheating!” 😉 I’ve often thought it’s similar to a spring reverb tank...I wonder what a plate reverb would do if you banged on it??? I’m going to have to do some studying, and probably a lot of listening with headphones.
@@jegauss Yes it’s cheating! But it’s also the most reliable way I could think of to recreate it live. I’ll bet you are on to something about whacking reverb plates…that might be. Or maybe they slammed a door to the echo chamber?
@@AllenGarberGuitarFun Gotta be something like that! I just can't decide if that explosion is forward or backward! I'm thinking it's spliced in and forward...but, we'll see if I can come up with something.
I need to clear up another quick video (should be this weekend), has to do with mic'ing in the studio, in relation to the recording of all of the VH albums at Sunset Sound, but I'm currently set up for VH1, so I'm going to finish that one off, then, it's on to WACF. It's going to take some time. I've having a vintage Mighty Mite 1300 repaired, because I think that's what was in the Bumblebee, and there's a couple other things I'm testing theories on. But, I would say give me 3 weeks, maybe a little more....I did Simple Rhyme intro because it gets run direct into the board, and Tora Tora bit, that didn't really matter as far as tone perfection 😉
Am I the only one that remembers the cassette version of Fair Warning/WACF and how those two albums together were almost like the PERFECT double album? Only real drawback was the song "Growth" got faded out and cut short.
@@jegauss yeah, in the cassette it fades out where on the album it comes to a stop. The cassette fades and immediately ends. The double I'm referring to was Fair Warning on one side and WACF on the other side. In fact when I bought it, Kmart only carried that version, you couldn't get each album separately there. I think the only other weird thing about VH albums and cassettes was the first album's song order is different on vinyl vs cassette and I can't recall offhand which order the CD version uses. Probably the vinyl order if I remember correctly
@@rickcrotts6673 That's just wild...I don't remember that album combo on one cassette. I think I do remember something about the song order being different. But, I was never much of a cassette guy. My car didn't have one, and I just had a turntable at home...I was a broke musician!
No pedal...the whole video is reversed. It's played and recorded forward, and then the video is reversed. Or, if there were no video, we just reverse the audio in Logic Pro.
Oh yes,,glad you did this intro,,,Pittsburgh tim says rock on Jim,,,
Hey Tim! Rock on, to you too!
Just found your talent today....I guess I know what I am doing for the next couple hours.
Thanks Gary! There's a lot to watch.....😉

Pretty cool! Can't wait for the WACF video ;)
Are you kidding me! You even figured that out! 😆 man you’re an =EVH= Treasure! I just found you a couple weeks ago! Awesome Jim! Wow!
Ha! Thank you, Jack!
Ummmm…Jim is doing sorcery here..
YES!!! W&CF🤘 Keep 'em coming, Jim!!!
Oh wow, can’t wait for this 🙏🤘🏻
Gotta get a shorter video out of the way first - then it's full speed ahead on WACF
Hey Jim...how's the Women and Children First Brown Sound Quest Video coming along? I'm sure that these videos must be a lot of work😳

@@jegauss No problem, Jim...take your time. I know it'll all be killer👍
Absolutely AWESOME! : )

I don't remember that!?!? I remember the CD version of Growth was cut, or stopped short - I think the album faded, right?

Holy Crap! Wow Awesome!
I just went back in time...
22 SECONDS OF EXTRA BEER FOR ME!
Jim : ... hold my beer
Ha! Love it!
Ha ha, I love it!
Which pedal for the reverse?
No pedal...the whole video is reversed. It's played and recorded forward, and then the video is reversed. Or, if there were no video, we just reverse the audio in Logic Pro.
Where did you buy those guitars?
I built them all
