These Guys Are Pretty Good - talk about goosebumps

[Mr. dB]

I still think the Star Spangled Banner thing is noise.

I think it's stupid to compare Hendrix and Page and claim one or the other is "better". Music isn't a competition, there's room for both.

i disagree...while i dont know too much about BEck,,,i can say that Jimmy Page is a much better guitar player than Clapton. way more creative,,,way more talented..

Clapton's too pentatonic...(i think somoene else on the board said that once, and i agree whole-heartedly.)

Page was always just a very good journeyman rock guitarist. Nothing extrordinary and certainly no match for Beck or Clapton who he basically replaced. He used feedback to cover his technical weaknesses. His blues riffs on aucustic have always been sub-par and he never really expanded his rep post HOTH. But that's just my uninformed opinion

Probably 20% of old zep clips or things like that link you find on-line come from my archives.

1984 was the worst year ever. That's when "they" announced that AIDS was spreading to the heterosexual population, and everyone had to use a condom if they expected to get laid. I had never used a condom before then. I thought the world had come to an end and the sky was gonna fall.

I still think the things are bloody awful.

Music isn't absolute, like mathematics, for example. How ironic, being that music is mathematical itself.

Also,

Wasn't Woodstock just a few years AFTER the birth control pill?

Fuck, pregnancy was not even a factor in woman's decision to sleep with you.... And you didn't even have to pull out man!

Totally agree, the star spangled banner is not a work of art, it was a "moment" in music historhy.

Funny saying Page was a journeyman, thats a big lol.

The past few weeks I saw Eric Johnson, and before that Kenny Wayne Shepherd, two good guitarists.

I referred to Page as a journeyman at a certain point in his career and compared him negatively to Beck at the same point, and it is true. Page has always been seen as a "replacement with potential" for Beck. He happened to step up to the plate and do well. But he never was, isn't and will never be a Beck or a Clapton.

Nothing....just an educated opinion. Just like you owning Lance Bass' microphone doesn't mean.......well it might actually!
