On paper the notes might look simple, but capturing those wonderful bends and vibrato is another thing.
I can't really say all the albums stand the test of time, but he was a great player.
Saw them live somewhere and the sound was huge for its time.
I also saw them about fifteen years ago in Glasgow, at the Renfrew Ferry. I have to say his sound wasn't all that great - a couple of Marshall Super Leads, but he insisted on using a Zoom 9002 mounted on a mic stand for his effects - he was certainly loud, and played with great presence and authority despite the tone being a bit weirdly metallic! It didn't really matter.

I loved West's guitar tone and chops and Felix Pappalardi was a wonderfully melodic bass player. His soft vocals were the perfect counterpoint to West's gruff voice.

Yes. One of my favourite players and favourite bands. When I was at university I got all the early LPs on Japanese imports, which were pretty expensive at the time. I still listen to them a lot (the band, not those LPs, although I still have them).
Michael Schenker has often cited him as an influence.
Who wants live music that sounds like a CD?
I'll have to get a Vintage Vs6 with P90s...
