But in terms of guitar playing and stylists, Dave is just a guy. That said, he's my favorite rock drummer around. |

Though I must admit that since Dayze pointed out this 11 year old French kid named Swan Berger I’ve been listening to his YouTube videos for an hour now and all I can say is Holy Shit that kid is good.

Also agreed on players who actually compose their own material instead of just being great playing what someone else wrote... i disagree a bit about the relevance of Hendrix though, to be honest i haven't heard much Buddy Guy, but i have to think he was making sounds with his guitar that Guy couldn't dream of. Actually, i just last night finished the most mind blowing documentary i've ever watched on any subject, its about 10 hours long called "All You Need Is Love" from the mid 70's, just simply amazing. It had a ton of rare Jimi footage and it reeeally rekindled my interest in Jimi, the man was literally from another planet, it made me wanna go back and re-read a great book i've had for 15 years called "Electric Gypsy"... anyway, for those thast haven't seen this doc, i cannot recommend it more highly... Ken Burns has nothing on this guy. |

Same here, what a show, what a band... Vai and Sheehan? incredible, Vai made his guitar unmistakeably say Hello Peoria, those were the days.

Really did like the Paisley version though, especially when he sped it up almost into a Rockabilly tune.

We sit down, have some drinks, don't bother the man, because, well, he's the man and proceed to listen to the two bands that night. The opening band had a really funky bass player that really stood out. Can't remember who he was though. The singer for the second band started in on trying to get Buddy to join them almost immediately and it was like watching a Ping-Pong contest having the guy bug Buddy and then turning to watch Buddy tell him "no." By the fourth song, the band launched into "Mustang Sally" and Buddy had enough of the badgering. He walked on stage, picked up a guitar and proceeded to play, for about 15 minutes, the most mind-blowing guitar work I've ever heard before or since. At one point, he was playing so delicately that you could have heard a pin drop. Just insanity sauce. He puts the guitar down, the entire crowd stands up and walks out with Buddy going back to his seat at the bar leaving the band to play to an empty house. Fabulous shit. Quote:

****ing Buddy Guy...man, I've been listening to him all day. Had him playing at work and was so into it I nearly missed putting out my shit.
And since this is a John Mayer based thread, I guess I'll have to do this this way... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhU1JFVhMQE And Dane's correct...see who's watching and playing with Buddy in this one... Rumor has it that Jimi used to take a Super 8 to Buddy's gigs to film and then subsequently study his finger work. |

The problem with Mayer is that he's too preoccupied banging chicks to be taken seriously as a blues guitar god by the masses. He'll never be Stevie Ray even though the guy is talented.
This is the guy that saves the blues, the new king: |

No need to worry about John Mayer, he's gay.
