No other reason than this being my birth month, I present you with a round trip ticket to the 80s and give you songs I grew up with. Before that, let me give you a mock-up of my musical genes being exercised and massaged during that decade. Yes, I’m being cute.
Well, there you go…a rough sketch. I was young and nothing got filtered before entering my ears and attacking the left brain. I remember being obsessed with Alphaville’s ‘Big in Japan’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’. This being a guitar blog and all, let me start with the song that first caught my attention as far as guitar goes. Of course I didn’t know who the guitar players were on the song back then [Steve Lukather - most of it. Van Halen just played the solo] Come to think of it…it was probably the first ‘rock’ song I heard where the guitar sound made an impression on me.
So here it is…
