Pat Travers

I love Pat's 70s albums. Just checked out his website and saw pics for a recent SoCal show...man, he is looking rough these days.

 

I could swear this is Carol Burnett playing guitar.

There's kind of a Frankenstein Vibe, too

 

It must be the Jaw and skull structure

 

His former co-guitarist Jerry Riggs is incredible

 

Remember the band Riggs on the Heavy Metal Motion Picture Soundtrack (Radar Rider and Heartbeat)??

I remember seeing the movie at the Midnight Movie thing in the early 80s....don't remember much other than the "Heavy Metal" song. I think J. Riggs was in Pat's band during the (supposed) 80s alchohol-haze daze.

Uh, it was a little more than alcohol. I worked one of the shows as a beverage runner in my teen days, and they were asking if we could get more than just beer

I figured that.

 

Is Pat still living in Orlando?

Pat is looking pretty "worn in" these days, but he's still an incredible player. Definately in my top 3 favorite guitar players.

[Tone Taster]

So does he come in second place w/ Keith or what?

[Shoes]

Snortin' Whiskey and Drinking Cocaine

 

He does look like shit and he looks like the same kind of shit Robin Trower looks like.

Uncanny.

[Dr. Ellwood]

Wait a second!! Is that a PRS? yeah I know I thought it should be a Les Paul or Melody Maker ..but sight down the body to the trem... I don't know now? is that a white tiped toggle switch down low on the body??? WHAT IS IT????

[Hound Dog]

Yep, PRS

This isn't good. I use to think Carol was hot...now this post on Pat has the homophobe in me searching for my true feelings on whether I really like Pat's playing,...or maybe just like him cuz he looks like Carol!

I saw Pat Thrall the other day and he's the spittin' image of Vickey Lawrence.
