Agreed... I'm not even a musician, and it was still obvious when seeing him live at ProgPower that he has a huge amount of skill and precision in his playing. Probably one of the most skilled guitarists I've ever seen play.

YIPEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hereby am making my formal request to bring them back for a do-over.

 

[Cheiron]

Excellent. New Rage is always a good thing.

 

[Regor]

Does ANYBODY know what kinda guitar that is he's playing? I can't read the brand name on the headstock

 

[J-Dubya 777]

I THINK, but I'm not 100% sure he is/was endorsed by Yamaha guitars, of all things. Just checked his website, Yamaha & Siggi guitars.....I belive that's a siggi ini the vid....

Pretty sure it's a Mayones.

 

[J-Dubya 777]

Pretty sure it's a Mayones.

Care to place a bet on that?

(Hints: Look at the body style, and the tuning peg configuration, oh, and it's Siggi Braun guitars....)

 

[AeonicSlumber]

Whoops!

 

[Exploding Ned]

Always great to see a new Rage album coming out. Excellent band for many years. Would be great to see them return to PP. Smolski is one amazing guitarist.

I guess it's getting pretty late in life to be expecting Peavy to return with a creative renaissance, but wow, not a single independent writing credit for him? Ouch.

That vid is worth watching for Smolski's playing alone!
