I was actually looking for an electric violin cover of this song a few weeks ago. Awesome.

Did you mean Eric Johnson?

 
HagarTheHorrible [TotalFark] 2008-12-20 04:50:50 PM  
How about that. The song lends itself well to the violin; almost better than it does the guitar.

IMIFOAC: Here's some Satriani ^, on cello though.

Very very nice.

I play Cliffs whenever I get to the ballpark to do music. It kinda announces my entrance.

/go Baysox!

Very nice!

That was amazing. My friend has an electric violin and was playing a few licks on it when we gave it to him. Even running the scales with effects made it sound awesome.

Nicely done! Thanks, subby.

 
CloudBoy 2008-12-20 08:32:58 PM  
I love that song! Pretty impressive to see it performed almost note-for-note on a violin. May I suggest Steve Vai's "For the Love of God" at your next concerto? ;-)

Sweet- Buckethead is teh sofa king awesome!

 
syrynxx [TotalFark] 2008-12-20 08:46:09 PM  
I've always liked Jean-Luc Ponty's guitar version of this with Ethyl Merman on the upright bass. This version is right up there with it.

It's a blessing that Ace Frehley wrote this great song before he died.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-12-20 09:15:12 PM  
I expected that to suck but that was awesome.

Nice. AND impressive.

But I still like the one with the 15 year old playing with his trio better.

Anyone got that link?

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw that.

True Story: Around '87 I was playing pool with a friend at Cornell University, when we overheard two students at the next table discussing the music being played over the speakers...

'Who is this?'
'Paul McCartney and Wings.'

'Wow! I really liked that song, I wonder what happened to him. Too bad he didn't do anything else.'

/Really Really wish I was making it up... but alas.

I think Cliffs of Dover is a cool guy; eh plays violins and doesn't afraid of anything.

You're absolutely correct.

Good job, really, but someone needs to pull the stick out of his ass. The dude's shuffle is WAY square.
