No (see below). Scott Thurston is the "new" guy with the Heartbreakers...he used to be in The Motels. (he took Tim McGovern's place in the Motels when Tim left to form "Burning Sensations"...anyone remember "Belly Of The Whale"?)

Not too shabby...but then he learned Felder's licks note-for-note off the albums. Pretty much anyone who's played guitar for three years can do that.

Considering he was already an established artist with multiple albums of his own under his belt (as well a couple of "hits" with his previous band The James Gang) BEFORE he joined the Eagles, yeah, I guess "cult following" would be an understatement.
