Members RaceU4her Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=137982 Classic Rock Revisited's Jeb Wright and Jesse Lee recently conducted an interview with WINGER/WHITESNAKE guitarist Reb Beach for the "Decades Of Distortion" show on the Arkansas City, Kansas radio station KACY 102.5 FM. When asked about the comparisons between his playing and that of METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett, Beach said, "I don't know the guy [Kirk], but I think he's one of the worst guitar players I've ever heard in my life. I've never heard a solo from that guy that was any good. . . This guy is out of tune, and his vibration... what is it? Vibrato. Oh my god. It sounds like a beginner." He continued, "Back in the '80s, he was always voted best guitar player, and I'm like, 'What?! That guy is terrible.' "I hate to say that because I might meet him one day. "What's he play in? MEGADETH? METALLICA? Is he in METALLICA? Oh, then I have no problem doing that because in their biggest video, 'Nothing Else Matters', when they threw darts at a poster of Kip Winger, and then they showed it live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madryan Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 I'm not a fan but in the context of the other music of the times Winger was Musically pretty good. Reb Beach is probably in the top 10 players in the genera easily and doesn't come across as a pretentious douche. He's also got great tone every time I've ever heard anything from him. Just sayin...

Members Ron Burgandy Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 Reb Bitch is a {censored}ty player that can't write a decent song to save his life. He needs to suck off a shotgun and stop coming up with excuses for why his band sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Travisaurus Rex Posted April 6, 2010 Members Share Posted April 6, 2010 Reb Beach was a killer player who is thousands of times better than Kirk Hammett. Better playing, better tone. His solo album is great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
