Rumor has it, Gerry went to a concert that was supposed to feature guitar legend Eddie Van Halen AND guitar virtuoso Steve Vai. However, just before the show, the two couldn’t agree on who would walk on stage first, so a rumble broke out between Steve and his guys and Eddie and his guys. Needless to say, by the end of it, neither one of them wanted anything to do with each other OR the concert. But the REAL trouble didn’t start until the MC walked out and told the crowd of 25,000 rabid superfan shred-heads that the concert wasn’t going to happen. The place went CRAZY. So Gerry knew what he had to do. Earlier, he’d noticed the triple neck guitar Steve used in the Just Like Paradise video on a stand near the drums. Gerry jumped up on stage, grabbed the guitar, flung it around his neck and screamed to the band “Let’s DO THIS”. Gerry was already familiar with most of the fret scorching music Steve and Eddie were going to play, so he just grabbed a guitar neck with each hand and proceeded to play BOTH of their parts, including tons of mind-blowing shred harmonies. In only minutes, the audience had calmed down and just stood stunned for the rest of the evening. FOUR HOURS later, Gerry slid the guitar off, dropped it on the floor, and said low and cool “It’s what I do” as he walked past the speechless audience and out the door. Countless lives were saved that night –and thousands of faces were melted by his shredding.
