Great guitar player, but he is somewhat one-dimensional and overrated. He's not good with slow blues, and personally I don't like his voice or songwriting. I still like him though.

I like all his work, I like his slow blues, but yeah I don't really like his singing. And he has become pretty over-rated throughout the years but u got to admit, hes an amazing blues player and hes white...props to that

If you upload this, I'll be your friend.

speaking of white blues, Truth by the Jeff Beck Group is an awesome album.

Anything Eric Clapton too.

I didn't much care for that album. Blow by Blow on the other hand, that is amazing (though not blues at all so slightly irrelavant).

White blues! Jeff Healey pwns!!!!!!111

George is so awesome :lol:

"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" is one of the funiest songs I've ever heard. :lol:

F yea. Probably one of the greatest British blues rock albums made.

Led Zeppelin did some pretty awesome blues rock stuff.

Yeah, Jimmy Page has a pretty big blues influence.

I love it when the Daily Show titles stories after Beatles albums
ex:
Hello Submarine
Magical Victory Tour

Zeppelin stole music from blues musicians.

[QUOTE=barrett420]Zeppelin stole music from blues musicians.[/QUOTE]
Yes, everyone has been made aware of the fact. The discussion has been done to death both in here and in the Zep thread.

Truthfully though, a lot of early rock artists (50's and early 60's) did similar deeds.

It's hard not to steal at least something. I don't think there's a single person who can admit they never, ever, took something they heard and liked and integrated it into a song, even if it was only once.

Right On.

Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, and some early Beach Boys song that I can't remember, all have the same opening guitar riff. I mean, there are probably slight differences, but it's very obvious that they're all supposed to sound the same.

I know most of that on guitar (some improvised of course) and I like to do a george throgood impression, my friends think it's great.

They used some lyrics, but their end product was much better than the original, always.

Hmm :/ Not sure about that one.

So, mainly due to Lunch's threads, I've been listening to quite a bit more classic rock. Stuff like:

Pink Floyd(My CR pasttime
The Doors
King Crimson
Cream
Quicksilver Messenger
The Who

and a few others. I love to listen to it, not only because it kicks my as[B][I][/I][/B]s, but also because it really shines light on some of the influences of some of my favorite modern bands, like Tool, Porcupine Tree, Dredg, and more.

Hopefully you'll be seeing more of me around here. :-D

Disraeli Gears f'in rules.

Stairway was supposedly ripped off of the song Taurus, but Page sure streched it out :o

I love "At Folsom Prison". It is an amazing live album.

[QUOTE=magicbus]Disraeli Gears f'in rules.[/QUOTE]I honestly have no clue as to why that album is so great in peoples' eyes. I mean it's completly un-impressive and boring. Great musicians but they sure don't show it there. The songwritting is very sub-par. I have no clue why someone would label such an album "innovative". I was [I]very[/I] disappointed when I first heard it.
