kevbone Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 ? I am sure the old timers will buck and up and spout about if there was no Jimi there would be no Stevie. Quote
Pete_H Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Sharks have lots of sharp teeth but unicorns are smart and have magical powers. Quote
E-rock Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah but unicorns can easily be battled by well-equipped humans in their own element (okay, I'm exaggerating and admit that the humans would have to be Wizards), whereas sharks are only easily defeated on land. Quote
Pete_H Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Yeah I meant sea-unicorn vs. shark with laser gun attachment. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Reminder Based on Kevbone's contest rules all contestants of potential contestants must be dead Almost dead doesn't count. Quote
G-spotter Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I figure Stevie Haston could outclimb Jimi Bridwell even though they are both rambling old geezers. Quote
AlpineK Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Do zombies count as dead or almost dead? No. They are living dead. Quote
Crux Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Cough syrup is way, way better than lighter fluid. Just sayin. Except for zombies maybe. Does that count? Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Did someone say "Stevie"? [video:youtube]LKjkEiX0cHA Quote
matt_warfield Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Kask, You beat me to it. Vai is the real deal. We geezers have a tendency to dwell on the artists of our era (Beck, Page, Hendrix, Vai, Slash, etc.) There are many excellent guitarists that are under the radar in our media driven current life. And it has to be considered that Vaughn died in an accident while Hendrix (you can visit the gravesite in Renton BTW) overdosed. Quote
layton Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 SRV all the way. I saw his last show with clapton when he died Quote
matt_warfield Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 I'd like to have Bieber's bank account or car or any gfs but haven't seen him play guitar. I will not be a paparazzi stalking him however. Malmsteen? Or even Keith Richards. He's been practically dead for 20 years so should qualify. Joe Perry of Aerosmith is also quite good and is in the same category. I will still say that Jimi had style and panache but lacked the technical skill or maybe equipment of today's rockers. Quote

What made Jim great was his rhythm playing: complex, full of infinite subtle variation. There has been nobody like him since. And his songs are definitely memorable and different from each other. Listen to "Are You Experienced?" and "Axis: Bold as Love" back-to-back. They couldn't be more different. SRV is great in his own right, but IMO his music sounds too much "the same" to put him on a level with some of the greatest guitarists - like Hendrix and others. Quote

matt_warfield Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 does it really matter what the girl who's blowing you looks like? You have high standards. You guys didn't get the memo that all rock stars are virgins or at least shy. Led Zeppelin denies any groupies and none of the 3000 "done" by Mick Jagger have yet written a book to my knowledge. Fastest way to the bedroom: music and dancing. Slowest way to the bedroom: endless belay slave duty or better an epic on a crag or even better involving a bivy and a death march to get there and back. Quote
