Slash & Eric Gales -Purple Haze- LIVE @ Marymoor Park 7-8-24

[@hughbetcha6922]

Slash, one of the most iconic guitar stars, recognizes the incredible prowess of Eric Gales. More people need to know about Eric.

[@CJM27]

I was fortunate enough to attend an Eric Gales concert a few months ago. If you ever get a chance to see him live, it's an unforgettable experience. I hope he comes back around here soon.

[@no_problem8023]

Eric is one of the most talented guitarists alive today, even more so than Slash. Way more versatile and dynamic.

[@demokraatti]

Anybody who understand something about guitar playing can see the greatness of Eric.

[@danuilfrance8685]

Right Eric lotta people know/but they don’t know what they don’t know

[@ivanmartino1055]

SLASH es una leyenda viviente.......pero disfruta tanto tocar ....para 100. 200 o 45000 personas ..... disfruta tocar .......UN VERDADERO GRANDE .

[@jimbonacum8917]

I have seen Eric Gales and let me tell you he is unbelievable. It is a crime that he isn't as well known as others like Slash, Joe Bonamassa or John Mayer. No disrespect to those gentlemen but Eric is one of the most original voices on the instrument you could ever hope to see.

[@johncolvin2043]

Pretty sure playing the blues is living your dream! Not sure it’s about notoriety It’s about playing and feeling the blues! Eric is out of sight!! He’s well known in blues community

[@Nghilifa]

Amen to that! I pray that I get to see him perform live one day.

[@kojam1]

EXACTLY! The other guys are out of this world, BUT he voicings are so UNIQUE. It's unbelievable! I can't describe it. I have NEVER seen another player who phrases like he does.

[@enkiea77]

Yep, but I add Nuno Bettencourt.

[@LavellCorral]

These guys sing way better than Eric. Eric is a bad mf on guitar. U never hear Slash singing, Eric gets 100 💯 for guitar playing and minus 85 for his singing. If he plays blues, his singing is minimal, so you're just wait for the singing to stop so the guitar can riff. Mayer, you shouldn't even compare the two. Excellent songwriter singer and guitar player.

[@vrombo]

Slash defined my teens, Hendrix vinyls light my summers, now I'm 46 and running, off 22 kilos last year. :)

You ran 22 kilos across the Mexican border?

[@Dave-nm3xc]

It blows me away at how Eric can play those blazing fast runs with a super clean guitar tone. What a player!

[@BrilliantMrTesla]

He's truly exceptional. One of the best players on earth.

[@cvaderx]

Good observation...The man is way toooo clean

[@EggleMacon]

Lot of respect to Slash for hanging with Eric

[@corinnemoreno3765]

Lots of respect? Eric is an accomplished and respected guitar player in his own right. Sounds to me like two notable guitar players jamming out on stage

[@dropclutch1]

Totally agree. Eric can play circles around Slash. Slash's public persona is as a guitar god, so he has a lot to lose by getting shown up by someone most non-musicians don't know. It's all good fun though. Eric is respectful enough to hold back a little, and Slash is gracious enough to share his fame to bring up the newer generation of guitar gods. 🤘

[@yockinnottou]

@@corinnemoreno3765you read it wrong. Their point was respecting that slash could hang with Eric gales

[@curtisendicott5989]

The point is not who can run circles around is to co exist and harmony period listen to the color of the music Jimi h

[@Mustaine1ify]

​@@dropclutch1So we are playing the "who's the best guitarist" thing again then. 🥱

So sick I never expected it!! I have the chrome-blue version of that exact guitar. So big and throaty-sounding. Massive neck

[@Shizzrockula]

Eric Gales just keeps getting better and better his tone was killer and he achieved next level status with that solo

[@prajnachan333]

Eric Gales is a phenomenon. He plays great blues rock guitar - and then he just flies off into the stratosphere. Unbelievably fast riffs. Blows my mind every time I hear him, even though I know whats coming. Great dual guitar 🎸 here!

[@gregkeppel310]

Thanks to whoever sent this little gem. That was outstanding!!

[@SeattleStoodios]

Rock On!

[@jarmarnewell]

This is the best moment ever. Two iconic guitarists Eric Gales and Slash! You guys keep on living the American dream!

[@johnnyreno7200]

This was awesome! The band I was in at the time, in November of 2019, had the privilege of opening for Eric Gales in Greensboro, NC. It was one of the coolest gigs I ever played. We met him and his band afterwards. He was the most humble guy. Super nice. Our band got to take a picture with him. It was a great night!!!

[@robertlee2530]

Dude!!! I was at that show and was impressed with your band’s performance and made it a point to talk to you guys out front on the patio afterwards. I was 56 at the time and I’ve seen a few bands in my time,ran a Peavy 24 channel board for a few years also.That was the last show I saw for quite some time,Covid hit right after that. I hope you’re well and still playing on some level.Your name doesn’t help me but I was impressed by the whole lot of you.Damn time flies…

[@brianwood7237]

Two of the best pickers of our time jamming? Gold! Been waiting decades for Slash to enter his 'Blues' phase!

[@donricchio4817]

Eric one of the best for sure. Slash not so much

[@StillAliveAndKicking_]

Slash is a Hendrix fan, has been for decades.

[@teacherrussell5206]

He always was a blues player. That's why I loved G&R when they came out. A nice throwback to Rock'nRoll, when most guitarists were more metal/classically influenced, or god forbid, someone like CC Deville.

[@OnAFuckinSuzuki]

Slash had a band called “Blues Ball” back in the 90’s.

[@OnAFuckinSuzuki]

@@donricchio4817Whilst not being overly technical, Slash has composed some of the best guitar solo’s of this generation.

Slash killed it. So did Eric. Match made in heaven.

[@Shanehutcheson841]

[@tfajsh]

I got the awesome chance to play in an opener for Eric Gales. Got to meet him. What I love about him is that he is absolutely balls to the wall 110% on stage. His sets absolutely thump the ground!! If you have never seen him live you need to. He puts on a hell of show. And if you can catch him when he plays Kashmir it fkn rocks!!

[@papasmamas1]

Slash and Eric, great combo, they should make a record together, da bomb!

Never heard of Eric until today…very impressive… imagine him and Eric playing side by side. Close to a mirror image of each other. Jimi is looking down smiling. Slash as usual is always amazing. He just loves people period.

[@thatsamazin-]

I met him when I went to a small bar in Ms. to see him after reading about him in a guitar magazine. The bar was called Muddy Waters. This was before the internet. lol He was probably barely 20 years old and was just as good back then. Very nice guy too. Just like many in the world, he’s had to battle against addiction but it’s made him a wise and very humble man. He seems to be doing much better these days. 🙏🏻

[@garyphillips725]

You bet - Memphian here too...

[@vicpnut1]

He was born in 1974 …maybe late teens in the very early 90’s …but i remember hearing of him playing all around my area(Connecticut )in the 90’s (probably more mid 90’s )..then again the term kid is relative …like :if i were to see him at that mid 90’s age of early to mid 20’s now , hed be a kid to me at my age 😂

Eric definitely said “excuse me while I kiss this guy” and pointed to Slash!! Great show!

[@scottrussell9504]

DIG! Eric is probably one of the most underrated players today. He reminds me of one of the old school “cutting heads” when he plays. Absolute real deal🤘

[@energyasylum997]

He IS! In terms of guitar solos I put him at the TOP with the best of them!

[@garyphillips725]

He's really not underrated at all. He's acknowledged by guitarists everywhere to be at the top of his game. But I'm older and from Memphis too, so Eric has always been in my radar.

[@reemclaughlin4260]

I must travel in different musical circles cause we’ve been jamming Eric Gales for YEARS in Philly. 🙌🏼

[@jscordoba3]

He's extremely underrated. He's every bit as good as Joe B and shares a lot of similarities in style. IMO Gales is a bit better as I feel more soul from Gales. But for whatever reason he doesn't have the success that Joe B does. Joe B has said more than once he thought Gales was one of the world's best players

[@abheekkumardas]

Eric is one of the finest in todays times with some great rounded tones and Slash is playing a precision weapon! The Drummer was pushing both of them to the edge of this planet.😃I could see Eric and Slash having a great great moment! Thoroughly enjoyable!

Just like Hendrix.

[@StillPissed]

Ironically, Jimi Hendrix did the same thing. Was kind of famous for it as a lefty.

[@MyPromixdirt]

hendrix play upside down, Jimi played " 1969 Fender Stratocaster, original pick-ups, maple neck, strung upside down for a left-handed motherf***ing genius, Jimi Hendrix " to Quote Ford Fairlane from the "Adventures of Ford Fairlane "

[@anexoworkshop]

That's a right handed guitar with the strings sequence inverted, that basically makes it a left handed guitar. In theory it should be the same thing as a guitar for us right-handed people.
