The hat guy is so annoying talking over the guest.

[@mikescotch8894]

Yes, he’d give an aspirin a headache.😑

[@majorfeelgoodrecords2740]

He is instantly unlikable

[@tboysrocknroll9252]

I thought the same thing...Doug actually looked annoyed when he was talking over him...at least I thought he did...

[@rorybell3686]

Yeah ,amigo,what a parasite

[@heyjarrod]

Yeah, I know what you mean. When a real pro is talking, and willing to give very insightful details, everyone else should just listen. Not like Doug was rambling, he was giving some gnarly information. But I have watched this guy a lot over the past year or two, and appreciate him more, and I’ve gotten more used to him and his style of interviewing. Jeremy does work hard, and demonstrates some gnarly tones and equipment. I don’t know anything about him, but guests seem to know him. And he gets great guests. So, there might be some kind of mutual respect than one my fight first think when watching these interviews.🤘🏻😝🎸🔥🤘🏻

[@ek5150]

dude let him talk, shit!!!

[@bryonkidder6199]

3:03... "it's a (Strat) faster playing guitar" Doug could've went with the bs but he chose to correct the interviewer...lol Luv it!

[@rotadyma]

Easily my favorite guitar player of all time. Nobody sounds like him. Tone, style, rhythm, screaming leads and speed, bluesy.....this guy has it all.

[@Guitar387]

Doug is an incredible guitarist, his picking technique feel and vibrato and is incredible.

[@tonysalpinoiii5063]

Doug is an excellent interview,he's been around the block 3-4 decades,and it shows...Total pro

[@sabrinalevesque3408]

I like the "there's no rules do what you want " Music is art , be free to do what you want to do.

[@jasongoad1084]

Doug seems like such a great guy. Always enjoy hearing interviews with him.

[@SuperWhitesnake1]

To me, he looks like a rock star should look. Live he's like a Rock God. Seems like he always has a wind machine blowing on him. Really nice guy. Met him at a meet and greet, good guy.

[@emadiaz89]

This is gold!! Let Doug speak!

[@themadmattster9647]

Legendary guitarist. His work with Lion and Bad Moon Rising is incredible. Also my favorite Dio guitarist after Vivian Campbell

[@michaelcard9382]

He mentioned John Sykes which after hearing his 3 piece band Blue Murder I not only understood how White snake may have used a lot of sykes style or vice versa but how talented that guy is.He's Lead singer,lead guitar n rythem guitar in Blue Murder which to me is INSANE! Lol,multitasking like that is next never sht even now in 2022 "Valley of the Kings" Blue Murder check it out commenters

[@SuperWhitesnake1]

John Sykes is the most underrated, unknown guitarist ever. Such a talent. Doug's play on Good To Be Bad and Forevermore are definitely in a Sykes style.

[@ENGL555]

Love it when the interviewer talks over the guest. Stfu!!

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Yeah yeah yeah

[@garyhill2740]

Guys, Boston records were almost entirely recorded by Tom Scholz and Brad Delp. A little help from drummer Jim Masdea on the debut album. Tom did the majority of the guitars and bass on the first record, and the rest of them too. The guys on the record sleeves for the first two albums (other than Scholz and Delp) were just the touring band. (Scholz has written articles about this on the Boston web site) Scholz once commented, when people kept saying things like Boston should get the original bass player back, "I AM the original bass player!"

[@qtheband751]

Stop talking over the guest!

[@mikescotch8894]

It’s embarrassing, Cringe…

[@foesfly3047]

Doug is the real freakin deal. A fantastic and unique player who can also pay great respect to the fantastic players he covered with Whitesnake and Dio. His contribution to Dead Dasies on the albums Glen Hughes is on, is Fantastic. His solo on Dio, Throw Away Children is so deep, dark and beautiful, I wish it would go on forever. And he is so humble… a super admirable man 😎🎩♠️

[@traci007]

Wow what a gentle spirit off stage 😍

[@SuperWhitesnake1]

Surprised Doug isn't holding a guitar. He usually has one in his hand.

[@robmoore2046]

Doug is such a gracious, cool humble guy, and very patient around that yapping, interrupting interviewer.

[@paulajane9828]

Awesome interview legend forever ❤💯🤘🎸

[@DOKITT]

please stop talking over your guests

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

No you

[@philfrank5601]

@@JeremyWhiteShow no you, chubbs.

[@SuperWhitesnake1]

That's awesome that his mom helped him buy a Les Paul.

[@jeffreys7109]

I have known Doug since like 1985 I think he had a band called Mansfield was around that band helped set up equipment for them !!! Doug i great an wonderful guy!!!!

[@mattiasorre1718]

Jesus, stop interrupting him

[@leeforrester466]

Seems like most guitar players from this generation, including myself. Our first good guitar alot of time was a Gold top Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. We would route out the Deluxe, replace the mini- Hum Buckers with DiMarzio Super Distortions, if we could afford it, If not just do bridge pickup. Les Paul through a Marshall JMP still rules the landscape.Great studio talk here too.

[@justincase6151]

Ok Dan Huff was mentioned. You acquired another subscriber.

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

Dann Huff’s the man!! Check out my chat with keith urban on the channel, we talk all Dann! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@rogerjones6033]

They mentioned "Giant" is that the same band as "David and the Giants" from '80's? Saw them live...killer show!

[@boatingforbeginners7949]

Great questions if you allow the guest to talk!

[@jimmyray_hawkins]

I've recently wondered if Doug would be more inclined to play the Suhr Aura as a LP substitute. I've seen it happen with Dead Daisies, however not so much as of late. Any reason? Gunnin' for a Gibby deal(which I respect and understand), or the Aura didn't have the feel, familiarity, sound, etc... of his day-to-day LPs.

[@jimjim7008]

Lucky they weren't interviewing and interrupting someone like Blackie Lawless lol... Good on Doug for his kindness and patience

[@vaughanband]

I love how Jeremy finds a way to bring in some Mutt Lange love in every interview. I love it, I’m a massive Mutt fanboy too. 👍🏼

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

ALWAYS GOTTA!! 🤘🏻😂

[@drunk247]

He's on to something. That bit about having a plug in that has guitars and hands to play them is deep. 59 sunburst+EVH LH + Mustaine RH. Put in your notes,hit save...boom. You sound like that without ever playing a note. That's kinda creepy.

[@flippercarlin1657]

My brother Doug is the best, so's his wife Danni n their kids... that's Ruby in the background lol

[@stefanreiman3527]

I would go always for a real Stratocaster and Les Paul these are the Guitars to play.

[@RGZ112]

Jeremy doesn't know about the scale length on a Les Paul? It is actually easier to bend the strings on a Les Paul then on a Stratocaster

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

I talk from experience, I find Les pauls impossible to play 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@RGZ112]

@@JeremyWhiteShow Jeremy I enjoy your show man, so I'm not going to rip on you from being from a younger generation who might not know these things. We all have our preferences. I should have been more clear. The Les Paul has a slightly shorter scale length in a Stratocaster, most people find it easier to bend strings and do vibrato because of that.

[@JeremyWhiteShow]

@@RGZ112 oh dude all good, I was cracking up at ur comment! 😂

[@donharrold1375]

A lot of people say that a longer scale length leads to higher string tension (which it does), therefore a Strat feels harder to play. I think that’s a bit of a simplification. The way a guitar feels has a lot of variables. Neck dimensions, neck joint and heel profile, fret size and string gauge (Obviously) all make a massive difference. I find even finish on the back of the neck can make a difference. Personally I find Strat necks a bit easier to play as they tend to be a bit slimmer and the finish generally feels softer and less sticky. My Les Pauls fill out my hand more and feel chunkier. The wider, flatter fingerboard feels different. I started out playing Strats and I think a lot of my preference comes from that. I am quite comfortable moving back and forth between both types of guitars as most guys are.

[@stefanreiman3527]

I agree

[@CSorglos]

If you ask the man a question, let him answer, don't interrupt him all the time!

[@michaelcard9382]

Ugh tryna Record with a Drum machine and morph the thing to follow what you want instead of you following the Drum Machine is the Hardest obstacle for me.If I wanna sing n just strum with a few fills, and a chorus etc you almost have to use the lil pads with your fingers instead of the Set Patterns n Fills 😆 You Wind up with this improv instrumental you never intended.I need a drummer I can take out of my Pocket n follow everything I'm tryna do Lol 😁 Good stuff guys

[@stefanreiman3527]

I can call myself Lucky I am going to see Whitesnake with Europe live on stage in Germany 🇩🇪 Yeeeee haw

[@JanKozak-ww6zz]

No lajf no self

[@stefanreiman3527]

Blackmore don’t get the Credits He deserves.without him Coverdale,Dio,Hughes and Turner wouldn’t be there where they are now.

[@SuperWhitesnake1]

Ask any guy who worked with Blackmore. Ask them how grateful they feel.

[@jeffreys7109]

Stop talking over Doug , stop interrupting him !!! Ya might learn something
