Awesome Stuff! Thanks🤙🤙
@@gnawbabygnaw Thanks for watching!
Astonishing 🍑🎸👍🏽
I'm surprised Mason didn't fall out of his chair during the climbing atonal riff in King of Rock! Lol, how I would've love to have been in that room with you guys!!
he was my first guitarist and we did a small tour together...he stood out then being the great guitarist he is...i am honored to be a small part of his process of exploding in the music scene....HELLO EDDIE
Thanks so much for watching!
Dave, Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s great hearing from you. Best, Eddie
@@eddiemartinez6510great work! I wore out my Run DMC vinyls back in the day. Your work on Rock Box and King of Rock was ground breaking!
@@eddiemartinez6510What a great collection of stories about collaboration and the technology from my favorite time of music, and I and I feel very privileged that Robert Palmer was my first concert way back in the day , in Minneapolis MN Orpheum Theater in 1985 or 1986 ? It must have been all the Jerry Garcia Band & Grateful Dead shows from 1990 - 94 that is possibly the reason for my current memories being less than perfect but I wouldn't change anything other than not seeing more shows, but I will get by!!!
Eddie Martinez is criminally underrated. All the albums I learned to play guitar on I was learning Eddie Martinez's style.
A national treasure for sure!
Yup
I’d say anonymity tends to be common among the great session guys.
They are the behind the scenes recording workhorses
Mary Kay is right there along side of Eddie👍🏻🎶🎸
when i heard king of rock as a kid, i knew i wanted to be like eddie martínez😎🎸
Eddie plays a fantastic solo on “This Corrosion” by The Sisters of Mercy
Yes, absolutely, if we had more time we could have covered more of his body of work.
Two of my favourite albums of the '80's are Riptide and Floodland, and Eddie's on both of 'em.
Thanks Chris!
WHHHHHHAAAAAAATTT?!?!?! 😮
@@OtherMike5000 That's what I said!
Yo, that rock guitar 🎸 work on Run-Dmc’s “King Of Rock” & “Rock Box” is PHENOMENAL!!! Great work Mr. Martinez!
WOW!!! Eddie is a real Rock ‘N Roll ICON!!! His playing and stories are beyond amazing.
Hear hear!
Saw him live with Ryuichi Sakamoto in 1988. Incredible show and band.
In addition to being a legend, Eddie has a steel trap memory. Dude even remembers where he bought his shoes 40 years ago. I can't even remember what i had for dinner yesterday!
Yes, a gifted memory and storyteller!
King of Rock was the first rap cassette I ever owned. Loved that gritty rock sound in early rap. Thank you Eddie, for sharing your masterful guitar parts
Rock Box was my the first ever guitar riff I could play. Eddie's style and his body of work are amazing.
What a great Icon of Music. Blows me away how many iconic pieces of music he plays on.
Eddie is a real treasure, such a gifted guitarist.
Eddie was one of my favorite visitors on 48th street, always a pleasure to do work for Eddie
Eddie speaks very highly of you and your products. His Suhr guitar on “Simply Irresistible” is one heck of a guitar!
John, It was always the best hang going upstairs at Rudy’s to hang with you all those years ago. Seeing all the amazing builds, mods you we’re working on and playing some of those guitars was the best. Thank you!
OMG what an incredible interview with this God of guitar! Such a monster player and he seems so humble a down to earth. What en epic career he had and what a refreshing interview of his journey. You outdid yourself on this one Mason!
Thanks so much for watching! Please help us share and spread the word!
Guys like this (and producers) are the real stars of popular music.
They MAKE a song (that we'd likely never recognize in their original form) great.
I still check out those old Hamer's on Reverb because of those Run DMC songs. haven't bought one, but such a cool guitar - mainly because of Eddie Martinez.
They’re incredible guitars
You should grab one - playability and consistent tones, the kind of guitars that make you a better player; inspiring!!
Thanks for spotlighting the work of this unsung legend of the recording industry. Eddie has contributed to some of the best records ever comitted to tape yet is so incredibly humble. Amazing.
I saw Eddie with Lenny White and Twennynine, and with the Clarke Duke Project. GREAT player, GREAT video - THANKS Mason!!!
Superstar band!
I'd never heard of Eddie.
Whaa a nice guy and very inventive.
I was around when all those songs came out.
We dont realise how much work went into them
I could watch videos about guys like Eddie all day. So cool to see/know who played on these huge hits we've all heard 1000s of times.
Great episode, Eddie is a complete pioneer of incorporating such diverse styles of playing both from a rhythm and lead perspective.
A complete gentleman and brilliant speaker.
What a guy, what a career and what a memory. This is awesome to hear from the man himself. Especially love the nice things he says about Robert Palmer. Riptide got constant play on my turntable for a long time and then came Heavy Nova. True class act just like Robert Palmer. Rock on Eddie.
My love and respect to Eddie Martinez. To be honest, i did not know much about him and his work until now when i watched this video. This was very informative and a pleasure hearing Eddie talk about his experiences recording guitar with Robert Palmer and Run DMC. Thanks Mason for this video, cheers!
Eddie Martinez is such a treasure and great musician. Thanks for the great interview and for letting him speak and play.
One of the unsung guitar heroes.Great interview and thanks for the breakdown of Eddie's wonderful work over the years.
Wow! Just Wow! These tracks were a huge part of my childhood. I never realized how much these songs mean to me. Guy's like Eddie Martinez have so much still to give to the world. What a gentleman!
You hear about all of the magic that was happening in NYC through the 80's over and over. It's really fascinating to me how it all comes together in situations like these. To be young, of age, and talented in that place and time just seems like absolute magic.
It was a magical time for sure!
I didn't know this man's name, but I obviously knew these records. That sound from "Rock Box" still sounds great.
I loved this interview!! So cool to see the gear used and the stories behind the music. You never see this kind of thing done for the session players that are behind the iconic songs we love from the past.
Hoping to do a lot more of these!
I understand these session folks are “hired guns”, but they should get writing credit for what they provide.
After all, they are writing hooks that make these songs as recognizable as the vocals or anything else.
The unique riff he plays on “Simply Irresistible “ is incredible.
throw all main musicians like 1% of the song.
Thank you for this. I love his playing and struggled to find more information about him and his career. Can't wait to watch the interview.
He had that sound that you could never forget.. Salute Big brother...
What a great interview!
Such an epic interview! Eddie has got to be one of the sweetest Souls on the planet. So humble. He deserves all of the accolades for sure. Great questions from the interviewer, and to be able to get to see Eddie play these parts and recreate them is priceless. Thank you both. 🙏
So glad you enjoyed it! Please share and help us spread the word!
Thank you!
Man, what a treat this interview was!! Very insightful regarding gear and the entire creative process. Thanks for the interview and to Eddie for an impeccable body of work!! 🎸🔥
I LOVE these songs. This interview is a real treat❤ thank you!!!!
Dudes, this was fantastic; so glad to see and hear Eddie rip and recall such great stories!
Such a fun video, all thanks to Eddie!
What a great interview and a player in Eddie Martinez. I had no idea he was such a prolific player and I loved hearing about his work with Robert Palmer and Steve Winwood, especially since Back in the High Life is one of my all time favorite albums. I also enjoyed the Run DMC stories and glimpse into Eddie's video appearance. Great storytelling, so thank you to you both.
That ''KING OF ROCK'' RIFF I could listen to that till the guitar blows up .....Perfection.
What a nice guy. Having watched this now, I can see why he has worked with such a great mix of artists. Eddie, along with Rick Nielson and Steve Stevens got me hooked on Hamer guitars that I still own and play exclusively. They are just wonderfully made instruments that have lasted a lifetime.
Heck yea! Jol D made some great guitars at Hamer
I almost bought a Steve Sevens prototype back in like ‘85, ended up with the TL in ‘86, much later (2014) I came across a mint FM special for $600 , love those guitars! I didn’t know Eddie was playing them.
What model Hamer Guitar is he playing? Thanks ahead of time
I had a Made in USA Diablo in Cherry translucent...let my then girlfriend talk me into pawning it and could never go back and get it. That was 2003..what a drag because the prices for them now has gone way up.
The red one in the video is a Prototype. I saw him touring with Robert Palmer in about 88, he was using a Hamer Chaparral.
What a humble guy, with so many great contributions and experiences. Love it!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks you Mason for bringing this mystery master into the light! I love everything he has ever done on guitar and never knew his name.
Love the guests you’ve been interviewing! Thank you
Eddie is such a gem of a guy. Classy as they get. Great player!
Absolutely!
I think he just isn’t well known. Not underrated.
🙏🏽
Thank you so much for doing this interview! I could have listened to Mr. Martinez speak for hours. Not many people have such a razor sharp memory as he does. What an articulate gentleman. You should line him up for another episode, the next time hes in L.A.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching!
This is a fantastic channel! I just found it today and I am having the time of my life! This episode was PURE GOLD!!!
FANTASTIC interview, watched it 3 times in a row.
The work he did with Robert Palmer put those records over the top. So creative.
Thanks for sharing this conversation, Mason. Really great to hear Eddie's stories.
Thanks for watching Adam! We should get you on one of these interviews to talk about your work with Tracy Chapman, Norah Jones, and those epic guitar parts you created that really make those songs what they are!
What a wonderful interview with a wonderful and humble person and a fantastic guitarist. Thank you for this interview.
Our pleasure, thanks for watching and please share if you can!
Hey Mason, thanks for having Eddie on your channel and also thanks for all the other session players you’re hosting.
Ever since I started playing in the early 80s, I’ve been attracted to the use of guitar in pop music, especially music of that era where the guitar wasn’t the main focus and the songs were not necessarily riff-based. The players were allowed to experiment with textures, sounds and all sorts of really neat parts that lifted the song and didn’t scream for the spotlight. Eddie’s playing is a good example of this.
Great interview! Always loved his playing with Palmer and Winwood, and Run DMC.
Me too, such great parts!
This is such a great interview. Thanks for all the facts.
Eddie Martinez is great. What a career
Great video! Thank you both! 😀👍 And always great to see an 80's Hamer! 😊
Thanks so much for watching!
I've been trying to figure out Simply Irresistible for decades and now there it is from the man himself. Awesomeness.
Great interview. Thanks.
This is really great! Keep those interviews with those fantastic studio guys.
What a great guitar player and even a better person. Enjoyed this very much.
Thanks for sharing this. It was such an inside look (snippet ) as to studio musicians contribution as to what I get to enjoy with there outcome of works.
Awesome interview!
Awesome, I feel so gifted to count the Man himself, Eddie Martinez, among my friends, always very nice and open-minded
Eddie is awesome!
@@VertexEffectsInc True !
I could t turn away feom your picking hand Eddie! Simply beautiful to watch. You've taught me so much. Thank you....
Thanks for watching!
Hi Mason, don’t know if you’ll ever read this but your channel has filled a void in my musical life that I wasn’t really aware of. Growing up in the eighties, being an aspiring guitarist (like so many 😅) I read all those inner sleeves back to front to see who were the session guys. Learned to recognize lots of them but never really knew what I’m finding out now through your channel. Your interviews are pure gold and put a huge smile on my face. It’s like finally solving the cold cases 40 years later. Including all the pedal talk! Thanks so much dude.
Nice! Great job, keep it up, and THANKS man 😊
Excellent interview! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching
I'm really glad that Eddie Martinez was interviewed. I've always loved his playing and style. He's a really nice and humble musician for such an icon.
🙏🏽 Thank you!
Great interview!
These session guys are their own breed. Interesting fellows. More of these interviews, Vertex, thanks!
Thanks so much! Please share and help us spread the word!
GREAT INTERVIEW!! Love Eddie, great musician and player.
The best!
Good god I love stuff like this.
Thank you Vertex!!!
Solid gold interview !!
Wow, thanks so much for watching! Please help us spread the word and share!
This is a great interview.
Great, detailed vid, with great artist.
It's really great that you interviewed Eddie Martinez. He is one of my influences and I am a huge fan of his playing. It would have been great to have him talk more about some of the other tracks on Riptide. I still think Fleshwound has some of the greatest guitar work on that album and under appreciated as it got over looked by the big single off that album.
A lovely interview with the genius of Eddie Martinez.
What a great interview, this took me way back, I remember all of this.
Heck yeah! Thanks so much for watching!
THIS WAS AWESOME. Thanks!
Thanks so much!!!
Damn Love Eddie Martinez, seen him live with a few people in NYC like Nona Hendryx, loved him in vids with Robert, or like the Beasties, also met him when I was an engineer at Quad Recording studios, plus seeing him at the music shops around the corner from Quad.. love seeing this...
So glad you dig it!
Awesome interview. I went down the rabbit hole a while back learning everything I could about the two Robert Palmer songs you covered. This is so much more to the point, and straight from the man himself. So cool!
Thank you, Jason and Eddie!!
Thanks for watching! Definitely help us spread the word and share if you're willing!
Lowell George, I think, was on the first LP.
What terrific content. Eddie is such a sweet and articulate man so giving with his information.The Interviewed is really well done the production level is fantastic on this. Bravo!
This was brilliant-thanks!
Our pleasure! So happy we could make it happen!
This was such a great listen! Thx
More, more, more. Love these session musician interviews.
Working on it!
Thanks for the music Eddie and thank you Vertex Effects for the interview. I was always wondering who played the solo on Simply Irresistible. For a long time I thought it was Vernon Reid😂😂 Pleasantly surprised to learn that Eddie played on some of my favourite songs from my youth.
Sounds like this guy is a legend! Great interview!
That was time well spent! I only wish it was longer!
Maybe we’ll release some of the unused footage in TH-cam shorts
Wow. what a cool interview. what a legend....
What a kickass comprehensive interview!!
Thanks so much for watching! Please share if you can!
Thank you Mason and Eddie it was a pleasure to listen to❣️
