January 21 2011 - Ernie Ball Celebrates 50 Years of Balls! To celebrate 50 years of Ernie Ball making music with some of the world's greatest musicians, Sterling Ball was joined on stage by some of their closest friends, including Joe Bonamassa, Jim Cox, John Ferraro, Paul Gilbert, Randy Jackson, Dave Larue, Albert Lee, Steve Morse, Blues Saraceno and Steve Vai. Albert Lee set the tone with some kick ass licks, soon joined by Steve Morse for some good time riff trading. From that great start, jaw dropping talent and good vibes flowed as covers from Steppenwolf to Zeppelin rolled off a truly rocking stage. A great night to remember. Here's to another 50 as good as the first! | ||||
Steve Vai melts faces/hearts at Ernie Ball's 50th Bash! Prior to offering his heartfelt congratulations and thanks to Sterling Ball and the Ball family, Steve Vai proceeded to absolutely floor party guests with displays of technical mastery and musicianship that are rarely experienced. Thanks Steve. |
Joe Bonamassa and Dave La Rue rip up EB's 50th! 50 Years making music means 50 years making friends, and some of Ernie Ball's best mates were on hand to celebrate their birthday. Here's Joe Bonammassa, Dave La Rue, Jim Cox and John Ferraro ripping it up at the big bash! Want to know why Ernie Ball have so many great friends? Just try a set of Slinkys and you'll know. |
All Stars Jam on Zeppelin Medley at EB's 50th! Guests at Ernie Ball's 50th birthday celebration were treated to a one time only sight and sound experience as Steve Morse, Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert, Dave La Rue, Randy Jackson, Jim Cox and John Ferraro jammed on Zeppelin classics. Audio on this one leaves a little to be desired, but we're hoping for a DVD quality video to be released once the usual red tape's been tidied up! Like what you hear? Try Ernie Ball strings and find out why these artists would rather 'fight than switch'! |
