Lol, yeah carlos was my #2, but I deleted it so there could be at least one more post in the Sustain thread. Altho Jorma pulls some good sustain I must say.

Nigel Tufnel: Showing Marty his Les Paul

You can go have a bite and
(imitates vibrato)
you'd still be hearing that one.

hahaha, yeah man, sorry, but there is always room for more Spinal Tap knowledge. Was listening to Free today, diggin the Kossoff, kid just does not release the deathgrip. Wonder how often he had to replace his frets, you can hear them getting ground down to nothing.

I would say Nugent but I think I’m confusing sustain with feedback.

Gary Moore get killer sustain on Parisian Walkway on several live video on YouTube. Les Paul and a stack of Marshalls. There is a vid on YouTube of Gary playing The Messiah Will Come on a red Strat. Gary does some shredding and if anyone has played an electric guitar any faster I haven't seen it.

No confusion at all, sustain can create feedback... Ted's "Hibernation" from "Tooth Fang and Claw" has amazing sustain feedback, all natural no fx.

Hahaha, am just impressed that a "Sustain" thread has any replies at all. Re Leslie West, I have a live recording of Nantucket Sleighride where he does indeed use sustain to great effect. Man I would love to hear him live again.

Flowers of Evil has always been on my radar forever but for some reason I haven't gotten to it. Will check it out.

This has me pondering what is the record for longest sustained note? Bending, feedback allowed, but that string has to be clamped to that fret and vibrating the entire time. Or open I guess, but open and fretted would have to be two different categories in the Rocknroll Olympix Sustain Event.

The late great J. Geils
the way he holds that note at the end of Serve You Right To Suffer -- his sustain on the end of his I Don't Need You No More solo -- you are missed bro

For sure, forgot about Neil. That live record Weld (Ragged Glory) is pretty much one long note.
