I met Reb when he did a clinic for Ibanez at Duquesne University School of Music in Pittsburgh. He was the nicest, most down to earth guy EVER. And then he proceeded to melt your face off with his amazing playing.
Jesus Christ; his real name is or was, Rich. In this piece, he fails to mention that he quit BCM. I am a BCM Grad. I knew Rich back in school in Boston. We were in a few of the same classes for a few simesters. We weren't beat buds, but we worked on a few projects together. I remember him vividly. He was always bringing in magazines and cassettes from bands out in L.A. I think he wanted to be there and not at Berklee with us nerds. He was the hell raiser of us all.....always wanted to make it louder, make it more "rockin". I knew he walked out of college, but it looks like he did pretty damn well for himself. Good for him. If I ever have the chance to see him again, I KNOW he would remember me and the guys we hung with in Boston. I am a huge fan, and he is, and was.....a great musician. Keep rockin, Bro!
Yeah, he wasn't into it and didn't want to wind up a studio guitarist where guitar was a real job, so when the chance to join Kip and make records and tour came around he dropped out. Don't blame him.
Hey Reb when we hung out in Duxbury playing ping pong in the basement it was cool. I remember the next summer you had an acoustic guitar.You were just learning. You and I would smoke blond hash. Then that guitar was glued to you.Reb was always a nice guy and a good friend.Would like to say hi.Robbie Waters.
Reb......I know you are much more than HEADED FOR A HEARTBREAK, but your work on that tune is so under-rated in the world of music. It is practically a primer for the top solos anyone could aspire to. The last 2 minutes of that song is all you......puts me in a trance man....TY!!
Winger was on tour with Ozzy around 1989-90. I meet him on he street and he was so cool to us even though we were high school sofmores. Signed our stuff took time to talk with us and killed it playing the show. Class act through and through.
My favourite Whitesnake guitarist since John Sykes. He plays with thought as well as technical skill and he also sings very well too. I hope his album sells by the truckload as he's very talented and comes across as a genuinely good guy.
A humble and generous gentleman which also is a GREAT guitar player. Kudos, Mr. Beach. Hard to not like you after watching this interview. Great interviewer as well:)
What a great talent, and hard worker. We could use more like Reb. The guy is clearly one of us in the way that we all love what we love, and appreciate those who have come before us, and even question our own ability at times. The guy seems genuine and wonderful. What a great artist, and amazing player. Thanks Reb.
Reb has to be one of the most down to earth "rock stars" out there. Same with Doug Aldrich. Incredible players and no egos. A rare combination in that business! I wish the interviewer would've asked him about his time in Dokken. In fact, I don't think that I have ever even heard Reb talk about his time with them. I'd like to know how he was hired,the making of Erase The Slate,touring (I saw two shows when Reb was with and were both great shows,and the reason for his departure.
I saw that he had a blast with Dokken and it was a very laid back atmosphere and he could do pretty much what he wanted. They got along great I guess. Who could get mad at Reb, really??.
It was the time when Vito Bratta,Zakk Wylde,etc... was just happening.But Reb was is totally one of the best shredder from that time.Excellent guitarist!
If you liked him before there's no reason to change just because he has very specific tastes. Those tastes are what made him the player he is and the player you admired. As far as growing, he does and he has. It just comes from playing live, working with those around him and creating on his own. The new songs for his album are fantastic.
Moreover, the interviewer asks good and founded questions, it seems like he has read about Reb and all of his work, the result is a well structure interview, I have seen people interviewing on TV without knowing "shit" about the person interviewed and is not surprising all those interviews lead to "out of context" questions
He's ageing really well and gracefully unlike so many other rock stars, and of course, he's underrated in the metal world, which is a shame! I hope to see Whitesnake live one day.
No comments ? What's up with that. Reb I have been following you since seventeen. You playing seventeen, I am loving how you p.ay the solos note for note. Too often you see concerts where the guitar solos are nothing like the original. The live concert at Berkely is played. In my garage at least twice a day. 24 /7 365 The Generica solo is always a great jam. Also Ike you I have no new music in my cars or garage. Ace Frehley really ? Dude you are a great player with great melodic lead breaks that sound astronomical.
Remember that just because someone chooses not to listen to "new stuff" doesn't mean that they cannot create new music. Would anyone dispute that Kip Winger is a fabulous composer? Do you think he's listening to Godsmack?
it's a shame, I've noticed that he's not the only 80's musician that refuses or will not admit to listening to anything new. It always surprises me because there honestly is a lot of great music and musicians out. Just wish more people were open minded...it could open their writing capabilities or inspire them to come up with some more cool riffs.
Although not LA or NY, there's plenty of decent rock singers to be had in and around Pittsburgh. For instance, I'm sure Freddy Nelson would love to record with Reb.
love when he says i dont listen to anything new,why would he???its trash!bottom line..no one makes music anymore,just garbage.best thing ever said,i dont either.
I got to hang out with Reb, and the rest of Winger in 1991 after a show in Columbus... these guys were great, down to earth dudes that just loved what they were doing...Reb is a class act...and talented without limit.
Reb's really putting on the weight around the mid-section, which probably means he's eating well, which means he's doing well, which isn't such a bad thing I guess
Probably one of the worst interviewers on record. Yet, Reb is articulate and steers the conversation to highlight what he wants fans to know. Reb is a class act, through and through.
i don't listen to anything new..... ok bud... you were an idol of mine... but you just made me realize, you were a PAST idol. guess you are just locked in one genre.... in a place in time... blah blah.. oh whatever... as a musician,,, you should always want to grow....... or.. i guess not.

Reb is one of the most under rated guitar players ever.Reb Is amazing.

Robert Waters You realize he's probably never read that comments right? Lol
So very true. Underrated player. He seems so humble and like he would grab a beer with ya at the bar and chill talking about guitars
I couldn't wait to see him in whitesnake, saw him live with Dokken and he was amazing........
He ain’t underrated among players !

Gotta love Reb, "I don't listen to anything new " hell yeah brother, keep that metal faith alive!! There are very few true guitarist new to the scene
I thought rock was dead until I found Big Wreck. Check em out, you won't regret it.
A humble and generous gentleman which also is a GREAT guitar player. Kudos, Mr. Beach. Hard to not like you after watching this interview.
Great interviewer as well:)

Just saw Reb for the first time ever with WHITESNAKE, and he SMOKED! Absolutely blew me away! What a cool guy!

Paul Stanley? No. Ace Frehley. YES!!!

Roger8176 Reb's said on his (or maybe Winger's) website, that he liked working with them, and wasn't contacted to work with them further.
I saw that he had a blast with Dokken and it was a very laid back atmosphere and he could do pretty much what he wanted. They got along great I guess.
Who could get mad at Reb, really??.
HIs style is amazing. Another great guitar God
Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you hear

I appreciate Reb and his passion for playing.
He's ageing really well and gracefully unlike so many other rock stars, and of course, he's underrated in the metal world, which is a shame! I hope to see Whitesnake live one day.
Reb `Beach is awesome....

Reb you don't need to be as fast as Dough to be better than him, you are the best that has been through whitesnake along with Sykes
Great dude & superb guitarist !!!
Reb is an amazing player and extremly underrated IMO!
Reb bEACH fOREVER..
Remember that just because someone chooses not to listen to "new stuff" doesn't mean that they cannot create new music. Would anyone dispute that Kip Winger is a fabulous composer? Do you think he's listening to Godsmack?
Love when he started out, Paul Stanley, fck no the real player Ace the Spaceman Frehley! Love your playing Reb!
Would love to see Reb and Ritchie Kotzen work together. I think the results would be timeless and amazing.
comes off as a very down-to-earth, cool guy. it would be great to have some beers with him and talk music
Reb seems like the most down to earth rock god.
Reb is great, no bs, just music
Hello how are you doing it is nice to seeing you hear

E con questo voi di Musicoff mi avete steso. Grazie

So whatever happened to the Winger follow up release after Karma? I never heard it.
REB Rules........
Amazin Guitar player one of my favorites
Doug Pinnick from King's X. Dave Weckl. Reb Beach really knows music.
Man so true. Songwriting ! What happened to that? I'm working on it.
2:04 to 2:05 Reb is awesome and way too talented for today's music
Glam metal has the best guitarists
Very good interview
I agree with other here!! Reb is my Idol and amazing guitar player! : )
Always wished the Whitesnake videos devoted more time to Reb; he’s amazing.
Hello, how are you doing it is nice to seeing you hear
@@rebbeach6549 you’re not Reb! If you’re going to pretend to be him, at least check your spelling and grammar 😂😂😂
I love reb beach

Although not LA or NY, there's plenty of decent rock singers to be had in and around Pittsburgh. For instance, I'm sure Freddy Nelson would love to record with Reb.
love when he says i dont listen to anything new,why would he???its trash!bottom line..no one makes music anymore,just garbage.best thing ever said,i dont either.

Nice one
Fuck, the pop up ads almost makes me deaf. Stupid TH-cam.. Stop placing ads in the middle of video!
When you consider the guy who drove Winger, I don't even know who this dude is.
Reb beach 17 solo, Madeline,
Paul Stanley. Gene Simmons? Oh nooo. ACE FREHLEY! 😂😂
Is He Still W/ WINGER?
Yes

reb is kinda making me think of weird al..right see it?...hes like cool guitarist weird al. we all know weird al is a genius and so is reb.
Its obviously the lighting in the video. No one can be literally red lol
reb has been never ugly love him
Probably one of the worst interviewers on record. Yet, Reb is articulate and steers the conversation to highlight what he wants fans to know. Reb is a class act, through and through.
Man, this guy finishes Reb's sentences. He should just interview himself.
is he naturally red or he's just drunk all the time? anyway, one of the greatest in rock out there :D
Gosh I hated MTV
Good but not that good!
i don't listen to anything new..... ok bud... you were an idol of mine... but you just made me realize, you were a PAST idol.
guess you are just locked in one genre.... in a place in time... blah blah.. oh whatever...
as a musician,,, you should always want to grow....... or.. i guess not.
that's wrong man, why are you people so narrow minded? there are many great bands out there who play awesome rock n roll.
