RIP

Just read he played guitar, saxophone and violin.

Closer to you and we may never pass this way again are great tunes as well.

OK, on the context of the video it seems to me that the premise is that while innovative guitar virtuosos exist today, being one isn't in and of itself a vehicle for achieving fame.  In that sense I suppose it's true that if Hendrix came along today - like most of this age's rock guitar phenoms - would not achieve the fame status he had, and still has. 

 

Does a guy like Buckethead support or undermine the premise?

Jimi had it all. Talent,looks,charisma etc. I think he would of killed it today. 

That said, killer guitarists are a dime a dozen. Particularly so with  instrumental bands.

Buckethead is a artist in the truest sense but way too out there for most . Musically and his personal bizarre behavior. 

It seems to me, the brightest rising guitar star is Billy Strings.

The 80's encapsulated for me was exit stage left.

That and she blinded me with science and hyperactive by Thomas Dolby.  Lol

Paper late rules. Seconds out is my fave live recording though. Still went with court. Genesis as a band and Phil. My fave studio is TOTT.

Not heard much of them but like some it quite well.

Seems like he was the most important member of the band. 

May he RIP

With George Harrison

• All Things Must Pass (1970)

May he RIP.

I saw the 90125 tour as well as show in the early 2000's.

Had no idea about his playing with others like Lennon. And Billy preston!

So last night, I was thinking about Lennon and the Lennon references in the yes songs your move and all good people. I was like, now it makes sense. I had always wondered about that. 

Then i remembered it was bruford on that record. D'oh!

Great player who will be missed.

Two great cross country races on red bull today. Free and with the replays available if interested. 

Rode 3 times this week. Had to take some time off due to injuries and it's great to get back out.

Reacher on Amazon kicks ass!

Ended up watching season 1 twice.

I say yes. The music industry is way more of a shit show now , with new and stupid things to ridicule.

I like some of Sting's early solo music, but his output with the Police has held up better for me.  Same with Phil Collins, some good early albums then drifted too far into mainstream or adult contemporary for my tastes.

What about Phil's playing with brand x? Great stuff

18. Alter Bridge

17. Thin Lizzy

16. Avenged Sevenfold

15. Def Leppard

14. Night Ranger

13. Soundgarden (love the band but they don't need to be here...maybe an honorable mention) )

12. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers (love the band but they don't need to be here)

11. Pearl Jam

9. Iron Maiden (should be higher)

8. Metallica (should be higher)

7. Judas Priest (should be higher)

5. Allman Bros.

4. The Beatles

3. Aerosmith

Honorable Mentions:

Swervedriver

Black Crowes

Polyphia (don't deserve a mention because they're so new, but they're amazing)

Mastodon (should be in top 20)

Between the buried also has two high quality guitarists.

Interesting list. The Grateful Dead should be on the list. And near the top IMO

The Tom Tom Club is a side project of members of the talking heads. 

Genius of love!

I have seen many great players over several genres.

I have never seen anyone who has a relationship with a guitar like Buckethead. To see him live was intense AF.

I lived in Buffalo in the 70s and Billy played in a band called Talas. They had a few semi popular tunes IIRC. They ended when he joined DLR.

Just saw Talas is releasing a new record . I had the good fortune to Billy play with Steve vai at least once. 

Jerry Garcia Band.

Or was it the Grateful Dead that was his ace side project?

Liquid Tension Experiment.

Best records made by portnoy,petrucci and rudess 

IMO

Lots of bobs burgers.

Music docs. Recently watched Bob Dylan, miles Davis, quincy Jones,  zz top and lynyrd skynyrd

Gonna watch Clark on Netflix. Seems interesting and the music is done by Mikael akerfeldt of opeth.

Hope I did not butcher his name too badly.

And the old batman series

I have always loved that jam. As you can imagine it's been posted here a time or two. Great stuff. Sheehan is a fantastic player.

Not sure how to post pictures these days. I think Mastodon has some the best art going.

I love both those bands (D2 and PS) and I think both Rodgers and Edwards (RIP) were great.  Edwards was a huge part of the Power Station sound.  Just making a joke.

Right on

And let's not forget Tony Thompson,  who was the drummer for Chic. Power station really had a killer sound. 

Very stoked to find these fir free on Amazon prime. It's under freetv and you do have commercials.

I was going for a band that a lot of Rush fans might scoff at, and for some stupid reason Chic jumped into my head (again, brain mush), and I certainly shouldn't have lumped them in with f**king Air Supply.

A lot of fans probably do.

I seem to recall a interview with Geddy where he said he admired Bernard's playing.

Now you've done it.  You've called bands "bottom feeders."  Now we're going to hear how their most obscure albums are better than Sgt. Pepper's, Moving Pictures, Let it Bleed, Paranoid, IV, etc.

I may have you confused with someone else but I thought you were a Duran Duran and power station fan? Surely you know the legacy of Nile and bernard?

I can't speak to the most obscure chic record but I do think they had more of an influence on modern music than rush  and black sabbath.  Probably the rolling stones too. Not better but a bigger influence.

Those guys are not bottom feeders. Nile Rodgers is a treasure and a genius. Maybe Chic was a bad example, and maybe "bottom feeders" was the wrong term to use, but what I'm saying is we'll start getting into bands that might not generate a lot of interest on this board a lot sooner than we need to.

 

I probably shouldn't have posted about this after a  very frustrating15-hour work day. My brain was mush after I got home. But my idea of compromise stands. I like hi-water's polls and I like that he's creating content that people are interested it. I too have revisited bands and albums because of the discussions in these polls. But if he slowed his pacing a little bit it would give more people time to join in and cast votes, and the polls wouldn't push as many of the other threads off the first two pages.

I think your compromise is fine. Makes perfect sense. Thanks for all you do. 

And yeah, I was pretty sure you were aware of the enormous legacy of chic.

Rather than make a dedicated subforum for polls, how about if hi_water simply slowed down his pace a bit? Looks like he has 4-5 active polls going at once, all in various stages of progress. Maybe we don't need more than two active polls at a time, and maybe each round can be active for 3-4 days instead of two.

 

Hi_water, what do you think? We like these polls your doing, and we like the format you've come up with, but maybe too much of a good thing is too much. Slowing down would not only make these polls something people would forward too more, but you'd also probably get more votes per round, and you won't be bottom-feeding with bands like Air Supply and Chic by next month.

 

I like how Entre is doing his polls, he's letting them breathe between rounds.

Wow. Never heard Nile Rodgers and bernard Edward's called bottom feeders.

Two of the all time greats. If you do like those guys check out cory wong as he is cut from the same cloth. Funky.
