I think Adrian has got a fantastic tone on the Vandenberg Live In Japan Video/DVD and on the Heading For A Storm album. Does anybody know if he used any overdrive pedal then? To me it sounds like a Les Paul in to a Marshall or Marquise/Maquise (an amp i've red he used and you can see in the Live In Japan Video/DVD) turned up loud.

The whole crowd seems uninterested, one guy looks like he's gonna throw a rock, maybe it's because they got a great view of his ass. :laugh2:

It's never a good idea to turn your back to the crowd:hmm


Adrian does have awesome tone and a great player!

Norlin strikes again!!!

I think this is the same guitar, the Heritage Standard 80 he used back in the early 80's Vandenberg band days.

The flame pattern matches, even though it is way more 'lit up' here.

Yeah, I saw the busy inlays in the second clip. Regardless of what it is, it's a REALLY nice sounding Les Paul! :yah
