Some Pat Travers for you (didn't know Yngwie was in his band, LOL)

Here's some classic Pat Travers for you guys. A lot of you speed metal heads might scoff at something so "classic rock" sounding, but PT is a huge influence on many of our idols (Paul Gilbert, Satch, etc...).

Also, his guitarist looks like he borrowed Yngwie's wardrobe for the night! (Go to 1:16 - 1:17 area)

Here you go:

Jerry Riggs (PT guitarist):



And Yngwie:



But most strikingly similar! Yngwie again:




Maybe they are twins after all? Or maybe Riggs is Yngwie's alter ego?

I know a guitar tech who always talks about his days playing with Pat Travers...

Jerry Riggs is well known here in Atlanta. In incredible player, had his own band "Riggs" back in the 80's doing the local club circuit. He had a cut on the "Heavy Metal" movie soundtrack before joining up with Travers. Last I heard he was still playing and living in Florida.
