blurpy Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 my choice should be perfectly obvious, given my posting of a few minutes ago. technical brilliance is one thing, but singing / songwriting and a real soul count as much or more, so far as I'm concerned. Mark Knopfler. Quote

Mark Knopfler. I've been listening to Kill To Get Crimson lately, some really great stuff in there. "Punish The Monkey" is a brilliant song. Quote
blurpy Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 They played Sultans the other night, but I wish you could have seen Telegraph Road! It started off as one of those meandering intros, where you don't know what the song is. Knopfler was playing his National, rhythm mostly, and Bennett (his second) was playing lead on a strat. It was a perfect combination of piano, organ, the guitars. bliss actually. then it turned into Telegraph Road, and they just kept building it up. Mark switched over to his Pensa, and took over lead. The song went on for a long time and kept getting bigger and then smaller. It was incredible. Best song of the night. I know, i'm just like a little girl squealing over a pony. Cut me some slack....

blurpy Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Hard to beat Texas Flood. I remember the day he died, no one knew for a while whether it was his or Eric Clapton's helicopter that had gone down. It was going to be horrible either way. Then we found out. What a tragedy. Quote
blurpy Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Agreed. A lot of Knopfler records take a few listenings to appreciate the depth. I didn't really like 'Kill' until I had heard it a few times. The same is true of his first solo album. Quote

It was going to be horrible either way. Then we found out. What a tragedy. Me too. I was driving back with a Fed. Survey crew from a days work in the Mountain Loop Forest when I heard the news. Sad day... Quote
marc_leclerc Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Joe Perry of Aerosmith - love the style he plays, interesting slides and stuff with cool melodies and rythm. You dot realize just how good he is until you try to play one of his solos! Quote

dougd Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 Had a chance to see SRV live here in Spokane with Bonnie Raitt back in the day. I passed cuz I thought the tickets were too expensive. One of those subjects we avoid in the house. My wife's still pissed about missin that concert... A mistake I will not repeat... sigh d Quote
