I'm 52 now, i listen to music since i was about 10, and discovered Saga at 17. After hearing tons and tons of music, i have to conclude the same as all the others here in the comments section. There's hardly anything that comes close to Ian's playing. It's just dazzling and out of this world, each and every time 😍
Ian is a guitarist that I have admired for over 40 years. He's such an amazing and really creative player! When you hear his awesome guitar playing you know it's nobody else but him. I rate Ian as one of the all-time top guitarists in the world! :)
Ian is who I describe as, the Canadian Eddie Van Halen! Unique style in his own right! His Welcome To The Boom Boom Room is a rare gem for any fan of his fretboard magic!
@@larryfremes5578 Ian is an absolute monster guitar player, and a serious technician when it comes to crafting an amazing sound with his equipment. Right outta the box a truly great sound. I hardly had to process it at all for Live Concert sound. A pleasure to work with.
My first guitar influenze, my first record, my band!!!! nobody sounds like Ian, the most underated guitarist. check him in the early records , wow. and check him and saga in Generation 13. Masterpiece!!!! greatings from San Juan!!!
Ian used to regularly blow everyone away (I mean having involuntary shudders and tears of joy) at coffehouse jams during highschool years. Years before "Pockets" ....er I mean Saga debued at the Piccadilly Tube in Toronto.
Canucks always get overlooked. Ian Crichton, Alex Lifeson, and Rik Emmett. I bet all 3 of those dudes could play guitar and play hockey at the same time.
The only "staccato "as the main technique of his solos,guitarist,besides Ian Crichton ,was a jazz-fusion virtuoso who played a Les Paul,as his weapon of choice,was as fast but,more Spanish feel(Mr.Elegant Gypsy Suite)Al di Meola.The man was a Monster! "Return To Forever "with keyboards-Chick Corea,bassist-Stanley Clarke,drums(percussion)Lenny White,guitar-Al di Meola!✨🙏🏼✨
You know about this gem of a guitarist and refer to Utopia in your username. Are you "just" a fan with exceptional taste or are you also a musician? I'm asking because I'm always looking to meet fellow musicians who like (or even know of) these bands. I'm mainly a drums/vocals/keyboard guy.
Die sind alle verrückt geworden .. SAGA hat sich in Staub aufgelöst.. Verdammt nochmal war ich sauer als Steve Negus die Band verlassen hat.. Der hatte eine Art die felle zu bearbeiten wie kein anderer so schnell macht ihm das keiner nach.. Ich bin ein grosser fan von Steve Negus.. Michael Sadler auch weg.. über Ian Crichton braucht man nicht zu reden sein gitarren Sound liebe ich.. Genial der mann.. Ich will die alte SAGA Truppe zurück haben. und dann sollen die nochmal eine Welttour starten
Oh yeah for sure its a Music Man in the video (I have one as well) but I think "porov" was asking about Ian's blue one, thats the Lado. Check out the 25 minute dvd in the limited edition 20/20 package, Ians talks about the Lado.
My home estudio is so puny in comparison one outdated computer, one pair of yamaha speakers, one 16-ch under $500 mixer, one set of drum mics cheap ones of course and my close to $8,000 drumset. I'm thinking of a loan to expand. ; )
No brag, just fact: I can play ur fuckin ass off, says IanCrichton. Ha, man, I'm a friggin hack player, lookin at genius, and wondering why he is so under appreciated. He didn't even break a sweat. "I;M not worthy"

Actually it's a Lado guitar Ian plays, his brother Jim plays the Zon Guitars Bass.
Awesome

Crush Crichton.

@singring76 yes right , more attention to Ian please he is very unique
