DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER LAUGHTER???

“led zeppelin was, is and always will be the greatest rock and roll band

it cannot be denied”

“hmmm....Troll420=Tarabull?!”

“they were the shiznit”

“n-n-n-n-n-n-n-noooooooooobody's fault”

“No, but hum me a few bars and maybe I'll pick it up.”

“ba-dum-bum!”

“Da Da Bum de ayyyyy

Oh yeah, that's it!”

“Jimmy Page is one of the greatest guitar innovators I have ever heard and Robert Plant is one of rock's best 'screamers'!”

“True dat treebeard. I hear everyone saying Hendrix was the greatest, but for my money Page is on a whole other level. The only reason Hendrix was so revered was because everything sounds better when you're stoned. Luckily for him the whole audience was stoned when he played. LOL!”

“Squeeze my lemon baby...”

“Oh Nigal, saying Hendrix is second fiddle to Page could get the pot boiling.

I'd have to go with Hendrix, but wouldn't fist fight you over picking Page. Of course Clapton would be on the short list as well.”

“I did see Hendrix back in 1969 (and i was straight at the time). He was a master in his own right. I don't want to take that away from him. But, like you say, if you listen to the riffs invented on the fingertips of Mr. Jimmy Page, it has the word innovation written all over it. Some of the best stuff ever done, I agree....”

“LOL Nigal! I'm glad to hear that the Zep audiences weren't stoned.”

“True too, Geez! If I may interject another guitarist, I have a bias towards Frank Zappa as one of my favs too.”

“pedxing, you're killing me today!!”

“lmao, Ped!”

“They don't get any better than Robert Plant though.”

“anyone remember what band Jimmy Page played for before Zepplin and who did he replace and who replaced Page when he left.”

“No Ped, they weren't stoned. Most of their gigs were playing to church groups. LOL! It was a joke.

If we are going to throw out other names, and this is just my opinion, My short list would have to be...

1) Page
2) Steve Vai
3) Joe Satriani
4) John Patrusi
5) Joe Walsh”

“Steve Vai Rocks!”

“http://www.top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=3480&string=Total" target="_blank"> one magaizine poll’s list

The first three are sort of the consensus. Some of the others they mention seem like odd choices.

I think Robert Johnson belongs just for the innovations and influence as well as the feeling. As Clapton got better, he felt more reticent about doing RJ stuff.”

“i goota say that when I saw Angus Young perform, he did catapult himself towards the top of my list. The man is fantastic...”

“That would be the Yardbirds, Mr. Ewker... with Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton.”

“Those polls always piss me off. The have someone like George Harrison at a certain rank and then right in front of him is some jerk offs like Head and Monkey from Korn.

When it comes to favorite musicians it's all a matter of personal choice. For me tone is much more important than technique and if ya have BOTH I'm hooked. That's why I love Satriani so much. I think Eddie VanHallan is an Ahole and he's not the technician the world claims he is but he's got great tone.”

“And as FRANK would say...


When the P.A. system eats it,
And the band plays some of the most terriblest #&%!$ you've ever known....”

“Angus Young is toward the top of my list as well.

There is a guy playing for a local band here in Memphis that has as much potential as anyone I have seen in a long time. He is exceptional.”

“'Road Ladies' from Chunga's Revenge, Tilt?”

“No mention of;
Richi Blackmore
Frank Marino
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Ingwe(?) Malmstien
Robin Trower

Most of the real "students" of guitar that I know are not big Page fans. Hendrix, however, was the real deal - way ahead of his time.”

“and if Angus would learn more than those three chords, he might just be incredible!

David Gilmour is up there as well, far above Slash, contrary to that list pedxing linked.”

“Anyone have this fine album from 1966?

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005K9QP/ref=m_art_li_1/102-4145831-6932944?v=glance&s=music" target="_blank"> Bluesbreakers ”

“And Chet Atkins, he ain't sayin nuthin.”

“Eric Sardinas is the last new guy that made me say, "Wow". He played traditional blues on an electrified dobro. Simply amazing.

Music is one the few things I love more than backpacking.”

“That is a great John Mayall album, Ped. Along with 'The Turning Point'”

“Not the "Who's the world's greatest guitarist?" thread again...I almost got into a fight with a guy once because I said SRV was "okay".”

“YAz, Treebeard.

You got nothing but groupies and promotors to love you
and a pile of laundry by the hotel door!

LOL


Just a day or two ago, I heard Robin Trower coming out of the TV set in some commercial... had to do a triple-take!

I saw him in a club about twelve years ago (100-150 people). It was one of the best shows I've ever seen.”

“I wasn't around for the first one I guess, Bit...”

“I dunno if there's been another one on this board, but every other board I've ever been on has had one.”

“jimi hendrix is the greatest guitar player to have ever lived. sure there are those who probably know their scales and theory etc more than him, but jimi was an inovator, the best there ever was, so much so that people have and still do imitate and emulate his playing and that is why he is always #1 on every top 100 guitarist list.

Page definitly wrote tons licks that have stood the test of time and with Plant forged music that still to this day appeals to the masses. but hendrix compared to page is aples and oranges

but i still maintain that led zeppelin was, is and always will be the greatest 'rock and roll band'”

“Tilt, good job. Hard to believe that one group could have 3 great guitarist like that one after the other.”

“Working from seven to eleven every night,
It really makes life a drag, I don't think that's right.
I've really, really been the best of fools, I did what I could.
'Cause I love you, baby, How I love you, darling, How I love you, baby,
How I love you, girl, little girl.
But baby, Since I've Been Loving You. I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah.”

“you've got Bobo at it again, lol.”

“All great names but don't forget Ronnie Montrose.”

“AH ah Ah Ah... Wanna whole lotta love!

Wanna whole lotta love!

AH AH ah ahAH AH, Wanna whole lotta love, Wanna whole lotta love!

C'mon Stikman, sing with me!!!”

“tramples underfoot
a song about cars, imagine that???




Greasy slicked down body, groovy leather trim
I like the way you hold the road, mama, it ain't no sin

Talkin' 'bout love

Trouble-free transmission, helps your oil's flow
Mama, let me pump your gas, mama, let me do it all

Talkin' 'bout love

Dig that heavy metal underneath your hood
Baby, I could work all night, believe I've got the perfect tools

Talkin' 'bout love

A model built for comfort, really built with style
Specialist tradition, mama, let me feast my eyes

Talkin' 'bout love

Factory air-conditioned, heat begins to rise
Guaranteed to run for hours, mama it's a perfect size

Talkin' 'bout love

Groovin' on the freeway, gauge is on the red
Gun down on my gasoline, I believe I'm gonna crack a head.

Talkin' 'bout love
I can't stop talkin' about...

Come to me for service every hundred miles
Baby, let me check your points, fix your overdrive

Talkin' 'bout love

Fully automatic, comes in any size
Makes me wonder what I did, before we synchronized

Talkin' 'bout love

Feather-light suspension, coils just couldn't hold
I'm so glad I took a look inside your showroom doors

Talkin' 'bout love

Oh, I can't stop talkin' about love.”

“Van HAlen-innovator/tasty shredder
hendrix-innovator
Page-the best songwriter,not the best lead tho

i just got a dvd of van halen from a 1982 concert.It's awesome.Ed is jumpin all over and playin like a nut.Its very hi energy.The boys put on a great upbeat show.”

“I would sing with you, but you just sang all the words I know to that song.”

“Anyone else heard any of the brand spankin' new Yardbirds album? There's guest guitarists including Page, and Slask, I think Clapton too. I heard the song with Slash last week and it was freakin' awesome! Now if I could just remember the name of the album and song....”

“Birdland. Amazon says it comes out April 22.”

“yes, that's it. Here are the guitarists:
Steve Vai guest stars on the album along with Jeff Beck, Queen’s Brian May, Slash, Joe Satriani, The Goo Goo Dolls' Johnny Reznick and Toto’s Steve Lukather”

“As great as zepp is/was is there a single person here who can even listen to Stairway one more time?”
