1980s Common Thread: Jeff Loven, Def Leppard, Steve Vai & Motley Crue
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 02/29/2012 - 01:59.Historic usage
Kahler tremelo systems were most popular in the 1980s, with users such as Steve Vai, Earl Slick, Jeff Loven, Adrian Belew and Jerry Peek and bands such as Judas Priest, Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe. Jeff Hanneman and Kerry King of Slayer still use Kahlers today, and
they swear by them.
Guitarist Jerry Cantrell, formerly of the 1990s band Alice In Chains, was oft to be seen with the G&L Rampage model, a guitar that
had the Kahler tremolo unit fitted as standard equipment.

Jeff says, "The new promo materials look fantastic and I'm excited to move into a bit of a new direction--It's great to 'have people' again!"
InGroup Senior Business Consultant Kiko Doran says "When you see a guy singlehandedly walk into any situation-be it McDonalds 2009 Midwest Region Corporate Christmas Party or the 2010 Minnesota Licensed Beverage Association Trade Show Conference or even the bar down the corner and totally rock these folks to the point where they are rebooking dates into 2012--the potential is limitless. We are looking forward to helping Jeff realize his goals and more. Jeff's fans can look forward to a tribute cd in 2011, his original music cd early 2012 as well as a brand new website, television appearances and national press."
Promotional Video Released!!
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 03:19.Most bands play the same 40 songs every night. The Jeff Loven show combines rock, pop, metal, country and hip hop and there is a request menu of over 300 songs that audience members can pick from. Also, because Jeff is an award-winning guitar player extraordinaire expect a few amp-busting guitar assaults ala SRV, GnR, AC/DC, Van Halen or Satriani along the way!!!
