Craig Goldy (dio) Solos Compilation From - The Spectrum Philadelphia June 17, 1986

[@stonecold56u]

In the 80's i was a teenager and i heard all these jams for the firs time. I would enjoy all these solo sounds as i jumped the 45° wramps with my BMX bike. The distorsion rock sounds were so strong and pure. For me, these musicians were my heroes. I loved them so much. Maiden, Dio, Ozzy, twisted sister, quiet riot. Motley crue, ratt, etc.. were the big guys back then. I will always thank all these musicians for tneir sound. Nowadays music isnt like that until computers and curt covain arrived😅😅😅😅

[@erikvaldur3334]

He really is a very humble guy. I attended GIT in 93 -94. He was one of my teachers there. The class was for 1/4 Year. I took it twice because there was so much great info. I also took a private lesson from him at his place. He is not only humble , he's one of the most genuine, good souls you could meet.

[@Perfectcheeseberger]

I wanna learn how to shred like craig. He is my top 5 favorite guitarists of all time. Dudes a legend.

[@LuisMorales-xr1gm]

One of my favorite guitarists from the 80's & 90's. One of the greatest metal guitar tones ever in studio and live, hands down! His pinch harmonics were right up there with George Lynch and Jake E. Lee . Phenomenal guitarist, but immensely underrated although there were so many incredible guitarists in that era to compete with.

[@murphshall]

I agree! I wonder what he was using back then? A JCM 800 and a boss distortion like Viv?

[@LuisMorales-xr1gm]

@@murphshall Thanks. I'm sure a Marshall, maybe even a 68 Plexi. I know he was a big BC Rich Warlock guy too. His tone was just precision and cutting edge at it's best. I'm gonna look into what he used live and if I find out,I'll let you know.

[@murphshall]

@@LuisMorales-xr1gm awesome! Some others on here say he was using Randall's on this tour. That reverb just makes it sound huge!

[@TCraigGoldy]

@@murphshall You are correct! We were using Randalls! First time using them! The guitar tech "Dallas" hooked up with them and we tried them out and it was great! Then when he left....he took them with him!! Eventually we found ENGL years later! And those are the best!! Thanks for you all wondering!! I miss the Warlocks....but the ESP's that I have sound so good with the ENGLs that it's a really tough call to go down a notch in tone now if I want to go back to the Warlocks. Eventually I think B.C. Rich will find a way.....we've been talking lately...and we'll see what happens!! Thanks!!

[@richardmitchell8213]

Wow, excellent work Craig.

[@BubbaZen10]

One of the best metal concerts i've seen was for Sacred Heart, when Craig took over when Vivian left. I remember being disappointed when i heard Viv wouldn't be there, and blown away by Craig by the time the show was over. How did he get that good at all those songs that fast? Oh yeah, he wrote half of em! RIP Ronnie, and god bless ya Craig, you rock brother!

I don't know how to describe it, I only know that it sounds great to my ears.

He used randall amps on this tour. Not sure what vivian had before he left mid tour. Different pickups as well.

Looks like a Wilkonson Trem. . In 1984 I saw a picture of Mick Mars with a White Warlock &* would just stare at the picture ...... I knew it was the coolest guitar ive ever seen in my life. Years later,late 80s I saw THIS video, Craig Solidified the fact that I MUST have a white Warlock. - By 1991 I couldnt find a Warlock ANYWHERE. The days of pointy guitars had faded by that point, People seem to be buying strats & Les Pauls etc etc ..... Finally, Hole in the wall pawn shop in Lakeland Fl, had a custom USA Warlock as soon as I walked in, asked how much, 275.00 I only had around 200 caash, my GF had around 35 on her , .. I felt the doom & dissapointment already, then My GF asked the man ...... would you take 235.00 for it thats all he has ..... I was shocked she said that, and the man stalled & said ........ yeh thats fine. For 70 miles driving home, I remember reaching my arm to the back seat feeling the neck & could not wait to get home. FINALLY i had the guitar, now it needs the beaitiful cutom paint sanded off & painted white , stupid move but its what I wanted. Thanx to Mick & Craig. I Loved that guitar. Best playing ghuitar Ive ever owned.

[@TCraigGoldy]

Well.....I appreciate the effort put forth to combine all these into one video.....however....hearing these back to back like this before my ear can catch the key of the song it changes keys....and it waters down the over-all impact that these bits were supposed to have yet be scattered around in a systematic way throughout the set. But back then once EVH hit the scene we were all scrambling to find something that he didn't cover and that we could call our own! Hearing it this way....back to back sounds like a bunch of nonsense sometimes. The set list was designed to flow....and there were solos that were melodic and some with flash...with a nice balance...but this puts all the similar bits too close together and tends to fry my brain as I listen. Solos are not meant to be edited and played back to back in a non-systematic way. I appreciate some of the nice comments and replies! And I can certainly understand why someone wouldn't like this! Once again...I do appreciate the effort put forth in the making of this video.....but I think it does more damage than good in my opinion! Sorry! It's very flattering that someone would go to this length to spotlight what they thought was good! And I appreciate that! But....ouch!!! & thank you at the same time!!
