Is that guy playing lead guitar Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory, or have I had one too many gummies? 👀

It does look like him! I had to look him up. It was cool that Jason Bonam played drums for this performance.

Shane Fontayne played the lead guitar solo in Heart's cover of "Stairway to Heaven" at the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors. Fontayne, whose real name is Michael Barakan, is a British-born guitarist who has played with many artists.
Fontayne's performance was considered one of the most challenging gigs of his career. Fontayne has also played with other artists, including: Bruce Springsteen, Ian Hunter, Sting, Joe Cocker, and Graham Nash.

I had to take a second and third look myself, lol. He’s his doppelgänger for sure.

And I agree, having Jason stand in on this performance definitely capped it off. His dad, John, was the greatest drummer of all time in my book. I learned to play listening to When the Levee Breaks. Damn that’s been too many years. It was cool to see the obvious joy on their faces when he first walked out on stage.

Thanks for the background on the guitarist, first time I’ve heard of him. Damn wizard on those strings! The resemblance is stuck in my head now though. 🤣

Right? Can’t get it out of my head, lol. He’s a carbon copy of the guy.

Had a friend years ago who put a Boss 429 in his Maverick, that baby would haul some butt. We called it the Mighty Maverick, lol. Had it so jacked I had to brace my feet in the floorboard to keep from sliding under the dash. 🤣

A 302 was a pain to work on in one but seemed a good balance.
Two I had were 200 inlines. Not bad little engines.
No you didn't break the rear tires loose letting your foot off the brake. Or by holding the brake.
Easy to get along with though.

I bet it was a pain...! So was my first V8 (283 cid) in my 73' Vega. Next up was a 355 with a tilt front end and no inner wells. Now that was EASY to work on...!

72 or 73 sky blue Vega. Stock engine was enough for me to get in trouble.
Left front wheel came off at 55-60 M.P.H. one night. Thought the front u-joint had let go.
Two stout friends used to ride off roading and lifted rear of high centered Vega to move it at least once.

V8 in a Vega. Heard rumors. Now I know why!

I had to go back and and see them again.
The first time was well, let me put it this way a trip.
The second one was a little bit more of a memory.

That first video with Plant and Page was outstanding...never seen that one. You could just see the tears welling up in Robert Plant's eyes..not sadness, but I believe he was feeling the impact that their music has had on the world.
