Who would be a really cool 3rd G on the G3 Tour?

If playing through other people's solos and ruining little wing counts as upstaging Satch and Vai, then by all means he upstaged them.

exactly.....his sound (house) was MUCH louder than Steve's and Joe's as well...nuff said.....

[Mister Zero]

How about Jeff Beck? HE could definitely hold his own against Satch and Steve, and show the youngsters a thing or two as well. :

[muddeone]

YES! YES! YES!



Mr BECK all the way!!!!!!

Let's get it rolling

EMAIL Steve Vai

eric clapton would be really cool if he was in the right mood. some of his stuff is really not fit for g3 but based on some of the stuff he has done on other peoples concerts and albums i recon he could pull it off magically.

did anyone see eric play leave my little girl alone on the tribute to steve ray vaughn video or most of his solo's when he was with john mayall

[jcm900]

How about Steve Lukather?
He jammed with G3 on the 2001 tour.

[muddeone]

How about Steve Stevens ! He is a killer Flamenco player now as well....





the band would be


Bozzio Levin Stevens

I would love to see Allan Holdsworth doing his thing alongside all the others. Or possibly Steve Morse........... Actually thinking about it Al Di Meola might be quite a good aspect because there would be a division between legato and picking players that could get interesting!

[muddeone]

I would REALLY like to see Chris Poland and OHM

Steve Morse all the way. Just imagine him starting his set playing Mechanical Frenzy followed by Tumeni Notes

If by "Upstage" you mean "overplay," then yes. "Little Wing" wasn't too bad- while it was perhaps a little rude to jump in on Vai's unaccompanied intro (I've only heard it on the CD) the way he did, the pedal steel licks were at least tasteful, and his wankage later on, especially when all three were playing, at elast seemed to work as a "background" part against Vai and Satch's near-unison quotation of the original Jimi solo.

"Voodoo Child (slight return)," on the other hand, was a travesty. Satch and Vai started laying back and playing some sparse bluesy stuff in the middle section, before the next verse- reeeeally cool feel there. and then Yngwie comes in ripping through harmonic minor scale passages... sorta forced the other two G's to match him there, and what was a great bluesy breakdown quickly deteriorated into a pissing contest.

Yngwie's a solid technical player, and I really dug his version of "Red House," but he's gotta learn that, especially when playing with other people, there's a time to lay back and phrase, rather than burn.

I personally hated Clapton's work with John Mayall- he didn't sound very sure of himself, IMO. Cream was good, and I liked a lot of his Derek and the Dominos work, but for me his real pinaccle was with the Howlin' Wolf London Sessions... and even then, I personally feel he's no match for Hubert Sumlin on a good night. But a G3 tour with him might be itneresting- it might get him out of this pop singer/songwrtier thing he's fallen into of late, anyway. And the idea of an "old-school" rock hero on tour with these two does have a certain amount of merit- Beck'd be another great choice, and even Page could be interesting.

Buckethead would be pretty cool ("Colma" is absurdly good chill guitar music), as would gilbert. I also think rusty cooley might be fun, although his name doesn't have the same draw as the other two, as of yet.

Eh, we've got some time- Joe's still on tour, Vai will probably do his own solo tour this summer... '06 at the earliest isn't a bad estimate.

wow i never thought of al de miola that would be absolutely brilliant but that cd with him john mchlaughlin and the other guy (can anyone remember his name i need to replace this cd as it was lost) but that other cd they did together was just as impressive as any g3 i have seen but it is all accoustic but any of those guys would be great but al di meola would be so good i would love to see that

[jcm900]

Do you mean Paco De Lucia?

[trouble311]

Holdsworth or Morse would be PERFECT. Could you imagine the jam with Holdsworth?? Wow.
