‼️We Review 1990 Guitar Magazine with SCOTTI HILL of Skid Row! 🤯👍🎸 | Reb Beach | Vito Bratta | Nuno

[@jonvig4771]

There is not enough emphasis on how good Vito was through the 80s! Thanks for stating that Scott!

[@shawsman]

Yeah that was a good shout. This is such a great interview. Scotti Hill is so humble and such a great guy. 🤘🏽

This is a cool concept, man…appreciate the effort that goes into this.

Thanks so much man! I have been wanting to get this series off the ground for a while now and no doubt about it, this video took A LOT of time to edit so I’m thrilled to hear the positive feedback from people like yourself🙏🙌🎸

I personally gave Scotti a copy of that issue on April 15th when he came into 48th Street Guitars. 🎸

[@Peterplayingguitar]

80's "shredder" here - this interview was GOLD! Getting one of our heroes to sit and go through an old guitar magazine with commentary: great interview concept! So many interesting little anecdotes came out of this. More of this please! It felt like i got to hang out with Scotti Hill for an hour. Cool! Next time include Snake : P

[@michaelr.4878]

This video brought back soooo many wonderful memories from my childhood. I started playing in 1992 when I was 11 years old. I had been playing piano..but begged my parents to allow me to switch to guitar. When I promised that I would commit to it, my mother bought me a bunch of music books..thinking they would supplment my lessons. I was grateful for the books..but I clearly remember saying, 'Mom... I need guitar magazines with tab. I'll be able to teach myself much quicker'. hehehe. As soon as I got my first guitar magazine with tabs, I have had a lifelong love for guitar and music magazines. It is really sad to see that part of the music world dying right before our eyes. There aren't many left in print. Same thing with fitness magazines..toast. The whole magazine format is essentially dead. Sad.. very sad.

[@tdz69]

Wow. Watching this took me back to my Jr high and HS years and the magic of waiting for the new guitar issue to come out. Going home and getting lost for hours inside the pages. Memorizing the ads and dreaming about music. Wish I still had my magazines.

[@nanicattack]

Such and underrated tasteful guitar player

[@MastersofShred]

I couldn’t agree with you more! 🙌🎸🎸

[@nethbt]

This is such a breath of fresh Air! So unique ❤❤❤

I still have a lot of these old issues and can remember reading through them like it was yesterday, I read the same issues over and over because you had to...pre internet was a special time in so many ways

[@darylhicks7008]

😝 I still have that guitar for the practicing musician magazine in a box.

[@WillyKidd]

New to your channel, from Nova Scotia, Canada. Sitting here tonight with my newly acquired '88 Peavey Vandenberg (SN 473) and enjoying this throwback! Please do more of these magazine recap videos!

[@charlesb7831]

Absolutely fantastic episode, my wife and I were at the Skid Row with Eric at his second last show with them. I thought he was fantastic on vocals. I'm absolute Kramer fan, I didn't know he worked for Kramer lol. I only have my 1989 Kramer Nightswan Aztec, and I bought the Dave Sabo signature when it came out, also have a 1996 Hamer Californian I love. I still have the magazine you guys were going through, mine definitely has some more wear on it . Again fantastic episode!

[@MastersofShred]

Thanks so much for watching brother! 🎸🔥 Dude, it’s so badass that you have an original ‘89 Aztec Nightswan! The new ones can’t hold a candle to the original. I have an ‘88 Swan too! 👊😎👍 I also had no idea that Scotti worked for Kramer back in the day. It totally blew my mind🤯🎸🎸

[@danthegeetarman]

Man, i _love_ these videos going through older magazines and catalogs. Sad these ‘good ol days’ are a thing of the past - but seeing stuff like this really reminds me of when I first started playing - reading these amazing magazines

[@RonP-k2w]

I remember Columbia house, you got the 12 or however many for 1cent, IF you agreed via contract to buy x amount of records, tapes (idk if it continued to CDs. ) over-the specified period of time. Maybe 4 per year for 3 years. They were priced a bit higher than average . I think it was brilliant marketing a win win. TY for reminding me i had sort of forgotten about those ads and how fun it was. The feeling of ordering that promotional deal when there were Albums !!! The artwork just oozed personality...Yes I acknowledge vinyl overall didnt have the consistent level of sound quality that the digital sound offers. There were actually times when the old fashioned stereo receiver and those very large speakers ( especially 6-8 of them) cranked and had us rocking our asses off. Great time to be alive,it really was. The mentak and psychological state of the world was just more enjoyable in general.

[@Kevslatvin]

I signed up for BMG in the '90s. Same style promo. I don't remember the contract details but probably similar. If you only bought when they ran deals you could come out pretty good. Otherwise they were a little higher than buying at the record store.

[@ian2lorimer]

Love Scotti since the early days, what a grounded dude I have this mag and still have a lot from that era in storage. Killer as usual dude

[@TheRealBarshonk]

Awesome. Scotti Hill is a legend. I got Skid Row’s first album on cassette for Christmas in ‘88 or ‘89. Prior to that, it was all about White Lion, but that Skid Row album kicked everyones ass with a whole new level of attitude.

[@MastersofShred]

I couldn’t agree with you more! Skid Row was breathe of fresh air at the time and could even hang alongside Pantera as the music scene started to shift 🙌🎸 But I do love me some White Lion! Vito is such an INCREDIBLE guitarist 🙌🎸🎸

[@TheRealBarshonk]

@@MastersofShred i agree 100%. Vitto is greatly missed by so many. Those songs live rent free in my mind still to this day. The late 80’s was an era like no other. It was truly the golden era of music, so many legends in such a short timeframe. Unbelievable and a real phenomenon.

[@Dave_Sharpe]

Man, this is soooo good! That era and mag were so special to me. Thank you!

[@MastersofShred]

You are very welcome! Thanks so much for watching and happy you enjoyed it 👍🎸🎸🎸

[@JockeLundgrenTV]

This segment is FIRE! 🔥 Scotti Hill is just awesome. Thank you very much!

[@StephaneGonthier]

Very cool - Big fan of Scotti and this is such a cool idea on so many levels. Some cool gear chat, some memory lane stuff without doing the typical interview format with the same questions.

Thank you for this great segment. I really like this idea. I miss Guitar Magazine. Missing the old days. Keep Shredin’

[@TonyHernando]

it's so cool your enthusiasm for shred and 80's golden age, awesome video! Scotty is so cool and respectful with everyone and everything, that's awesome!

[@pabcrane]

This is a really enjoyable video, and quite a nice vehicle for interesting and nostalgic discussion. This magazine well pre-dates my starting to play so it was of particular interested to see what was going in the press - similar to what you said about about film footage of music shops. I'm not into Skid Row but Scottie seemed great and was very engaging - to ge fair I'm generally happy to hear any musician talk about their life and influences - and Scottie was dead easy to listen to. Good work.

[@MastersofShred]

This was Wicked I have that magazine and many more I saved from back in the day so cool

[@bengibson3955]

Guitar for the Practicing Musician was the best guitar mag bar none. I had this exact issue and it was one of the first one I bought. I had a Yamaha RGZ that was, and still is, a great superstrat and my mate had a BC Rich that was the ducks guts. We lived for those dodgy tabs, along with the really dodgy “Cherry Lane” tab books (from memory-I might be a bit off on that). I recall Vernon Reid was a sponsored Hamer guy back then. I wanted his Hamer more than anything, even more than my mate’s family friend who had this blue Jackson limited edition thing with scalloped upper frets. Was a great time to be loving guitar! Awesome interview and the nostalgia has been great. I was 16/17 at the time and killing it. Subscribed.

[@MastersofShred]

Thanks so much for watching and subscribing to the channel! I greatly appreciate it! I remember those Yamaha RGZ’s , all the Yamaha’s from that time were INCREDIBLE and definitely ahead of the game as far as specs go! 🙌🎸🎸🎸

[@JoeR203]

Vito F'n Bratta! I bought a bunch of Kramer Strikers from MusicYo. I still have the white "Psycho Splatter" painted one. They came with Floyds and the EVH D-Tuna. The rear neck plate says Kramer Neptune, NJ. Maybe he meant he soldered the pickups? Because I've never seen a Steinberger with a pickguard.......and why would you solder something to plastic?

[@MastersofShred]

OMG! Bro, I freaking lived on MusicYo.com back in the early 2000’s! 🤪🙌 I had a crackly yellow striker too and freaking LOVED IT! I still regret selling it to this day! However I did find that the quality control on those strikers weren’t the best. I owned 3-4 and only the crackle yellow played good out of all of them. But I totally remember the white one with the paint splatter! Damn, that’s bringing back some memories for me! 🙌🎸🎸

[@dragnasty540]

Wow, very cool episode! Ive always loved Scotti Hills playing! He was a huge influence on me growing up!!

[@jopac75]

What a great episode! It was cool to see Scotti check out the tabs to 18 and life, I always was curious to know how close a tab song was to how it was written

[@greatganger2606]

I didn't know Carvin guitars are now Kiesel guitars. Question, do you collect Young Guitar magazines (Japan)? Their tablatures are soo much accurate, which you can verify, and maybe you do a video on for the future. Can you also feature the song "Drinking Again" by- Neverland, the guitar solo is sick and from the movie soundtrack- Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey- 1991. Thank you! I love that earring!

[@will5150]

Come to think of it this is way better than conducting a normal interview. Genius really. Getting famous shredders looking through old mags and shooting the shit. Brilliant and super entertaining.

[@jjcollins]

Awesome interview. I love looking back on all that stuff. I started playing guitar in 89/90 when I was 12, so it is definitely a trip down memory lane. Towards the end of the video you mention the martin stinger guitar, when I was 15 my parents gave me one for christmas, it was my first "real" guitar. I still own it to this day. Black les paul with the Pointy/Banana headstock. Absolutely killer instrument which can rival alot of higher priced instruments made at the time.

[@MastersofShred]

Omg! No way?!? I have never met someone who also has a Les Paul style Martin Stinger! They truly are INCREDIBLE, right? I’m bummed I let mine to earlier this year 😭

[@jjcollins]

@@MastersofShred Yes, they really are incredible. I played it for a long time and then eventually put it away because it really is a sentimental guitar for me. They are WAY better than the price they usually sell for. Even when I worked in guitar retail, which I did for over 10 years at one point, you may see a strat or a tele style one here and there, but the les pauls really are rare. I've showed it to people in the past or talked about it online etc, and no one has ever seen or heard of them most of the time. I've always said they are just a korean made les paul standard, and in many ways, just as good if not better. I've had it for over 30 years at this point, and it is still in amazing shape and is rock solid. Definitely a keeper.
