  • With the recent box set for the Star Fleet sessions release in mind, I decided to do a cover of this intergalactic, epic one-off collaboration between two of my all-time favorite guitarists on what was originally a children’s Sci-Fi animation show theme composed by Paul Bliss.
    This was a challenge as any person would expect, trying to mimic two of the most inimitable legends, but nonetheless, here you can see/hear me duel myself, along with playing the synthesizers, and bass guitar.

    You sir...are living my dream...to play Edward's music with such proficiency.
    Thanks for posting this.
    I found this 45 in a small University radio station shelf while browsing around. Back in 1991. Cheers.

    It's difficult to put into words how I felt after watching this masterful performance. Every so often, some of the all-time greats come together on a whim and create musical magic. This was certainly the case way back in 1983, when Brian May picked up the phone and invited Eddie Van Halen (and a few other cats) to join forces with him for what would become known as the "Star Fleet Project". Deyan, hats off to you for capturing the essence of this momentous recording. You have once again demonstrated your true musicianship. Just one word in closing... EPIC! 👍🤟🤘

      Such a kind compliment. Though the energy in those original recording sessions was indeed pretty incredible and impossible to replicate, I tried to have fun with this little project and was hoping someone else would have fun listening to it. Thank you for watching and your words. 🙏 And yes, I’m very lucky to have my Guild Blonde Special! 😆

      @@angelahunt1574 “Dreamers Ball” will be the first “talking head”-type of video I have on the books. I’ve started pre-production on it. It’s the one I do get asked about the most, and I want it to be informative as well as even a bit entertaining. So I will get to it in the (hopefully) near future.
      It might be worth saying that I handle all of everything you see/hear in these clips: director of photography, cameraman, sound/mix engineer, producer, video editor, as well as being the performer. Because of this, and the fact that it’s not my day job, I take FOREVER in completing my videos. I do them for my own fun and to get the word out about me and my channel. My plan is to eventually do less of the odd songs and more topic-oriented videos in the future. I really appreciate that you take the time to watch my videos, and I hope you’ll stick with this channel as it grows.
      Short answer: it’s coming! 😂

    • @DeyanBratic

      Thank you, my friend! That means a lot. This is a song written by an English musician by the name of Paul Bliss, which was created for a kids’ Saturday morning television show in the early 1980s in England. He also composed all of the incidental music for the show’s 24 episodes. The story is that Brian May used to watch the show with his son and grew to enjoy the theme song, envisioning it as a great vehicle for rock guitar. A few years later during some rare downtime for Queen, he was in LA and called up his friends Edward Van Halen, Phil Chen, Alan Gratzer, and Fred Mandel. What came of the two-day studio sessions at the Record Plant ultimately became a three-track EP known as the Star Fleet Project.
