Title: If you didn't know, now you know...
Post by: jlynnb1 on January 23, 2009, 07:03:23 PM: Eric Gales is hands down one of the last heralded, underrated players around. Guy is a monster..if you don't want to hear the whole song, skip forward and listen from 6:00 on.

He is incredible, and widely unknown.
He looks older than he is cause of substance abuse.
His whole family is nice on guitar!!!!

Why on earth does this not surprise me? I mean, what is it with touring musicians and drugs anyway? Its gotten to the point where i just have to ignore the person behind the music and focus on the music.

Where are all our guitar role models?
