      Eddie had some dark days in the 2000's, versus his own high standards. But I'm still amazed how he was at the peak of his performance skills in 2015, even if his peak creativity peak had long since passed. Certainly the consumed substances factor in - help creativity, hurt performance.

      I will say even though it's a totally different style and I know Eddie respected David gilmour man but when I first learned 15 years ago that the famous solo from another brick in the Wall was actually played first of all on a Les paul, and then straight through the mixing board in the studio with no amplifier whatsoever and we all associate Gilmore with the strat so many of us thought he played that solo on a strat for several decades and when you listen to it again it's like whoa but in any case both of these guys are so pure as artists and musicians that even though they settled with certain guitars and pickups and amplifiers they would sound like themselves even on a discount acoustic guitar from the thrift store

      Guitars are funny, take a stratocaster a telecaster or any bolt on style guitars in general. You really have to dig into it in order to get the tone where as with a les paul or glued on or neck through guitar, it's more about finess but you gotta whack em too some times. Ed was the master of tone more so than anything else including how revolutionary his style was then. Because of his attack, tone and his signature licks he would sound like Ed on a $ 50.00 first act guitar or a 5k Wolfgang. RIP EDWARD....

      @@pookiepookie8669 Eddie wasn't truly sober until 2007. In 1995, he claimed he was sober, but as Sammy describes in his book, Eddie was hiding his alcohol consumption, even from Valerie.

    It’s SO cool seeing Eddie play a Parker Fly.
