Orianthi: Michael Jackson's Last (Almost Touring) Guitarist Stopped By To Play Some Riff's!

Orianthi was scheduled to tour with MJ after being discovered on MySpace. This video was recorded very early in the morning just before an interview for our radio show in Boston, MA.

Orianthi is wonderful. I've met her a few times through the years and I spoke of the late great Randy Rhoads. I'll never forget it. I mentioned his name and her jaw dropped. She said she loves his guitar work etc. If you get a chance to meet her you will not be disappointed. She loves her fans and is a sweetheart.

[@Thehardrockpomp]

Hey man! I’ve been watching your reacting videos of Japanese Heroes Tokusatsu shows from Super Sentais to Kamen Riders series. As an Asian who grown with these shows, I really appreciate how you enjoy every moment of it. Your reactions are gold. Every moment makes me smile just like the first time I watch those new heroes coming out every year. Really recommend you go check on all Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai forms, fighting skills and finishers. Those would make you understand more about Tokusatsu settings or plots. You might try to watch the series too after it. These shows are so attractive! Keep on bro! Already subscribed your channel!

[@bernardograssi1501]

The look coming from the guy behind you is priceless, congrats!

[@khancharsi]

[@ytcag2007]

I heard decades ago, that MJ refused to pay Eddie for recording this lead solo. I also saw a video of Eddie telling the story of how Van Halen came to an agreement as a band, that that would prohibit ALL band members to play with another group for ANY reason. But when Eddie heard about the opportunity, he jumped at the chance to be on a record with MJ. Needless to say he never told anyone at the time, he was only proud to play that lead for Michael and obviously, because it was a hush-hush situation, no payment was ever asked for by Eddie. Every since I found out, I love that story. ❤️🤘🤘

Wow! What a new and technical guitarist!

[@shredder9643]

Seems like she's rushing through alot of the parts for whatever reason and also the puts a far different accent on the notes of the main riff as apposed to how Eddie originally recorded it. She kinda just jumped around the guitar solo and plain old left out certain notes in order to rush to the next section. Weird.
