Wields the Wah Like A BOSS!!!!!

Let me say this: Watchtower is an incredibly difficult song to pull off live. The bends - including a series of step and a half unison bends - is a daunting task!!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING PERFORMANCE EVER....Bonham's son on drums....watch Jimmy Page mouth the phrase "Very, Very Good" at 3:58 in response to the studio session guitarist's rendition of Page's iconic solo.

The well dressed man with the Gibson Les Paul is none other than studio guitarist extraordinaire Shane Fontayne...
:)



You might not recognize the name Shane Fontayne – whom some of us know by his real name Mike Barakan – but chances are, you have heard Shane’s playing or seen him perform live.

As a guitar player, Shane has shared the stage and studio with an impressive list of rock music’s elite, including Bruce Springsteen, U2, Paul Simon, Shania Twain, Bryan Adams, and Rod Stewart.

Most recently, Shane was invited to accompany Bono, The Edge, Elvis Costello, Norah Jones, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige, Patti LaBelle and B.B. King with Wynonna at the pre-Grammy Music Cares event in New York honoring Bono as “Person of the Year.”

Here is Shane caught mid-solo during the Led Zeppelin Tribute Event held at Kennedy Center posted above. Jason Bonham is in the background wearing the derby hat:

This is a pretty cool version of this song. Never heard of JORN. Lead vocalist sounds like a taller Ronnie James Dio… :cheers:

Incredible 50 year old Norwegian who grew up listening to the 80's bands - like many of us - he was tapped by Tony Iommi to replace Ronnie James Dio when he passed in 2010...
