Dick Wagner is a (pardon my French) a FUCKING LEGEND. I was so honored to meet him and talk for a few minutes after his show at Lenny Miller's in 2012. Gracious, warm, genius. Your music will live on forever my friend...🎸
The "Alice Cooper show" live album, is all Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter on guitars. That was the best years of writing and shows. It cemented the foundation of Alice's career. Alice still tours to this day. I believe its all because of Dick, Alice's sobriety, and his longevity as a showman.
Alice was smart getting Dick Wagner in his band when he went solo in 1975. Wagner also played on Lou Reed's superb "live" album "Rock 'n' Roll Animal" 1974.
@@dafunk39 I am a rock bass player and when I saw Victor Wooten with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones back in the early 90's I was so blown away I stopped playing for 3-4 months. I was feeling what you expressed. Then I realized what I said to you was probably what Victor would probably say to me...I haven't stopped since and I will never be Victor Wooten, but I've gotten lots better... ;) Our heroes keep us honest and working! Dick Wagner was one of a kind as a player and as a person, so I am told ❣
@@melaniejo5296 I appreciate your kind words, thank you. I’ve been a fan of Stevie Ray Vaughan ever since the first time I heard him. Saw him live with Joe Cocker, I haven’t smashed my guitars yet, so there’s hope that I won’t. 😀
@@lousolot3200 Of course Eruption is a solo. It's only Eddie Van Halen on guitar. Solo means alone, done by one person. I don't get the reason for the hostility.
Wagner's tone on this and Lou Reed live lp is insane good...my fav guitar duo

Before they were playing with Lou Reed. Rock'n'Roll Animal forever.❤

Wagner was one of Randy Rhoads favourites. Says a lot!
Fantastic guitarist
Dick Wagner and Steve Hunter were awesome in Alice's band. My favorite guitar duo of all time.
🗣 Alice has chosen the best rock musicians for this *Excellent* concert !
... Well Done 😎
Hunter and Wagner were the best guitar tandem of the 70s.
Detroit legend !
The Frost🎸
I remember him with Dick Wagner and the Frost back in around 1969-1970. Loved his song Sweet Lady Love.
Mystery Man is a local classic.

and lou reed live, second part of same gig.
Dick Wagner's guitar playing on Alice album,. Lace and whiskey was awesome as well. Very underated album
Yikes really, one of his worst ever,
@@60zeller actually, one of his best ever
Great guitar and great guy
Very underrated guitar player. Gone WAY TOO SOON!
Underrated? By whom?
Wagner and Hunter were the hottest duel guitar players in the country in the 70's Alice is lucky.. Lou Reed was lucky too..
Aerosmith, Kiss, were lucky too. And I wish bob ezrin had let Wagner/hunter play more guitar on Alice's solo albums, particularly, Goes to hell
@@laurencelevene4333 Lou fired them because the press was talking about how good his band was .....
@@charlesbukowski9836 . Typical Lou Reed. He had a fantastic band there. The live album was incredible. And of course Berlin. Totally underated
@@laurencelevene4333 He was wrapped way to tight for the classification of what he was trying to present..
@@charlesbukowski9836 do you mean the Berlin concept story?
wonderful artist really
He was from Saginaw Michigan.
Just another musician that makes me want to smash all my guitars because who am I to even hold one compared to this guy?!!
I know that feeling, but he would admonish you to keep playing and be yourself! 😉
@@melaniejo5296 Probably true. ☺️

He wasn't always that good. Put the work in and get the reward.
Nice BC Rich
He liked the BC Rich Eagle a lot at that time.
Wish the audio was in sync
His presence on Rock and roll animal inspired me to focus on guitar
My cousins were friends with him and his family
2:52 He looks like Freddy!
no this was not the nightmare tour
Yes, Wembley Pool Stadium, London. Welcome to My Nightmare Tour. It may be 1976 instead of '75.
@@susanmichelson it was September 1975. I was there
It's not a solo if the drums are playing too.
Shut Up.
So Eruption is not a guitar solo either? Stop being pedantic
@@lousolot3200 Of course Eruption is a solo. It's only Eddie Van Halen on guitar. Solo means alone, done by one person. I don't get the reason for the hostility.
@@louisborselio8608there are drums on it. Are you deaf
