    admittedly I erased Anthem and Dog Years right before posting this for "not being overwhelmed by choices" sake. i shoulda known better

     

    I could see Anthem being on there, but you were right to leave off Dog Years. It's kinda heavy, but not in a convincing way.

    It's interesting that no songs from AFTK through RTB are included, and that makes sense if we're talking about heavy. Circumstances might be the only exception, and it wouldn't be out of place on this list.

    which songs would you say deserve a place up here? Sure there are heavy songs, but do they really matchup to the likes of Vapor Trails or Clockwork Angels?

     

    I'm saying I agree with your list -- that whole middle span from AFTK thru RTB is devoid of the heaviness than we hear on the earlier and later albums. Circumstances is the only one I can think of that could have been included.

    I believe a good argument for What You're Doing as the heaviest song could be made.

    Daryl Hall and Robert Fripp

    That combo was most definitely not on my Bingo card.

     

    There's a lot of content there!

    Should that have been in the preliminary round of the GUITAR BATTLES competition? :mellow:

     

    Hmmm....

    Hot rumor that a live album is coming. Announcement might be on Friday. They recorded the shows in Mexico City this year and after the US tour next month looks to be it for this year. So a live album being released while they take some time to record the next album makes sense.

     

    Assuming there''ll be a concert video to go with that. In some of the fan shot videos it looked like there were additional cameras capturing footage.

  6. I don't think the boys would have tackled any of the prog classics from bands like Yes or Genesis. The first Feedback featured covers of early classic rock songs -- songs that guitar, bass and drums could easily cover in a live setting. If there was a second Feedback in the vault, I'd have to imagine it would follow the same script. Songs like Roundabout or Watcher Of The Skies wouldn't fit the bill -- there's no way you can pay tribute to those kinds of songs without keyboards.

     

    IMO these songs seem to go with the first Feedback album.

     

    Jimi Hendrix/Bob Dylan - All Along The Watchtower

    The Who - The Real Me  (maybe make it fun with Alex singing lead while Geddy go nuts on the bass)

    The Who - Bargain -OR- Going Mobile

    Led Zeppelin - Ramble On

    Led Zeppelin - The Rover

    Cream - Politician

    Moody Blues - The Story In Your Eyes (some prominent mellotron keyboards in the chorus, but a stripped down version with heavy guitars would work)

    Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Woodstock (would be interesting to hear how Geddy would arrange and perform the vocals in the chorus)

     

    That's all I can think of for now.

    Morse's career was one where he was constantly pushing himself beyond a comfort zone. Formed an all instrumental band with no singer that touched every genre'. Going out and doing solo albums. Joining established groups in Deep Purple and Kansas and having to fit his own style into their material. 

     

    When I consider EVH I see someone with a revolutionary style, but stuck in his own band, big brother always having his back, with constant lead singer drama. Never moved beyond his comfort zone, other than the occasional cameo appearances.

     

    I own twice as much Morse material as EVH because he's his material is more interesting to listen to.

     

    Some good points there, especially about their respective band dynamics. I was leaning towards Morse anyway. :smile:

    There are very very few players that I would consider voting for over EVH. Steve Morse is one of them. I will ponder this one.

    Yeah I'm in the same boat. I wouldn't be mad at anyone who voted either way, it's one that could go either way depending on your point of view.

     

    EVH is the most influential rock guitarist since Hendrix. And it's not just because of his bag of tricks. His rhythm playing was impeccable, his songwriting was catchy and imaginative (and at times kinda proggy), and his note choices while soloing were unique and created a flow that was distinctly his. Eddie and Jimi changed everything -- to this day people still play like them.

     

    Steve Morse didn't change the landscape like those guys did, but he has a sound that is his and his alone, and  there's no style of music that he can't play. Jack of all trades, master of all.

     

    Still pondering.

    Ok Howe is the better guitar player but I voted for Iommi because I'm a bigger fan of Sabbath than I am of YES! :ROCK:
