[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 327606, member: 2189"] Speaking of Bridge of Sighs, Swedish Progressive Death/Black Metal band Opeth is doing a cover of this iconic piece on their forthcoming album Watershed. Of late I've noticed lots of various metal subgenre bands doing covers from Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild, to Genesis Land of Confusion which I thought Disturbed heavier guitar ladened cover was actually better than the original by Phil, Tony and Mike. Now I heard the other day a cover of the Doors LA Woman. If you like old Black Sabbath, I'm talking the title track Black Sabbath, Children of the Grave and Hand of Doom, go to youtube and type in Black Sabbath Fantasia Synch and watch Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Some took these 3 songs and synched them up with the video of Hall of the Mountain King from Disney's Fantasia. It's fun to watch and amazing how some aspects of it match up. Well not quite. A hammer on is called legato with stringed instruments and was used by violinists before it was popular among shred guitarists. Eddie also seems to get credit for tapping in rock music but in fact Steve Hackett of early Genesis can be heard on such albums as Foxtrot (1972') and IMO their best of all, Selling England By the Pound (1973')using the tapping technique. Hackett as well used legato in it's hammer on and pull off forms. Legato meaning slurred can be heard quite often in music where the obvious picking or sliding sound is missing. Eddie did however exploit and popularized tapping to the larger guitar world and as such he does stand alone as a major influence. The following video clip is of the band Genesis from a Belgium TV appearance just after the release of their 1971' album Nursery Crimes performing the song Musical Box. At about the 4 minute mark, Steve breaks into a guitar solo and watch his hands on the neck. You'll see hammer ons, pull offs and some tapping. Obviously not a flashy and flamboyant as Eddie but clearly several years before young Edward hit the scene. And no Hackett didn't invent it either as it's been around for a while. [media=youtube]W35wtfcByIY[/media] And yes, that was Phil Collins with hair on the drumkit and a young Peter Gabriel behind the mikestand. I was and still am a huge fan of that era music so if you wanna know what I was listening to in 1971' there you go! :happy-very: And for those who were big fans of the 80's and 90's Pop music version of Genesis, as Walter Cronkitt would say, "and that's the way it was!" back in the day. :wink2: [/QUOTE]
