Gibbons came after Hendrix.

Hendrix's main blues influence was Buddy Guy, but apparently Hendrix was obsessed with Dylan.

Buddy Guy is (one of) my hero(s).

Same here, after watching Festival Express. He ROCKED that place.

Some of Jimi's lyrics were influenced by Bob Dylan. Obviously not songs like Foxy Lady and Purple Haze though.

Chuck Berry was a big guitar influence for him.

3. Paul McCartney and John Lennon whote "I Wanna Be Your Man" which was the Rolling Stones' first hit


EDIT: Hey, Livewired's back :D

Were you refering to Buddy Guy? If so, I need to check out Festival Express, even more.

EDIT: Welcome back guys. :)

[QUOTE]Gibbons came after Hendrix.[/QUOTE]

Does that matter? No!

Jimi Hendrix strongly endorsed Billy Gibbons when he first came along, and Hendrix even stated that he was one of his biggest guitar influences.

Oh, I DO.

Well, actually it does matter. It would make more sense for his biggest influence to come when he was beginning to play guitar/make music seriously, forming a band and cutting an album. He was already majorly influenced by the time Billy Gibbons came along.

It does matter slightly, but appartently, his major influence came after he had even made it.

Billy Gibbons? The guy from ZZ Top? How would he infulence Hendrix?

Sorry, this is off topic but do you know who's guitar tone I am completely JEALOUS of?

Eric Clapton.

I was listening to 24 nights and Sunshine of your Love is superb.

The guitar tone is amazing.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Billy Gibbons? The guy from ZZ Top? How would he infulence Hendrix?[/QUOTE]

How should I know? All I know is that Hendrix stated that he was a major influence.

I love Santana and Brian May's tone.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I love Santana and Brian May's tone.[/QUOTE]

I know this is cliche, but the tone in the solo to Bohemian Rhapsody is AWESOME.

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]I know this is cliche, but the tone in the solo to Bohemian Rhapsody is AWESOME.[/QUOTE]

I concur. Bo Rhap might be my favorite song of all time

Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton have probably my favorite tones. And you can't deny Gilmour's on Echoes and SOYCD. That's amazing right there.

And I forgot SRV's. Awesome.

Gilmour's tone > God's tone.

[QUOTE=lunch998]Gilmour's tone > God's tone.[/QUOTE]

Well put

I can always distiguish his tone from anyone elses, even if I had never heard the song before, it's so distinct

[QUOTE=lunch998]Gilmour's tone > God's tone.[/QUOTE]

Gilmours tone on Comfortably Numb on David Gilmour Live >>>>>>>>>>>>> reg comfortably numb

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]Sorry, this is off topic but do you know who's guitar tone I am completely JEALOUS of?

Eric Clapton.

Totally, man. He makes everything sound so...smooth and flawless. Hendrix, in my opinion, was a little sloppy, but Clapton has awesome tone.

My favorite CR tones are Santana, Slowhand, SRV(not so classic), and Hendrix.


Santana's got that poppy Telecaster like Les Paul :X

SRV no doubt, obvious..

I'd say Dickey Betts, Alex Lifeson, Hendrix, and Santana

What artist was it that at one time said "Eric Clapton is a lousy guitarist"?? I heard that a while ago on the radio but i can't remember who said it. I found it pretty funny.

Anybody who thinks Clapton is a lousy guitar player has no soul. He is just one of these guitar players like Gilmour or Hendrix where you can feel the emotion they put into their songs as you listen to them, and you can tell that you are not listening to them playing, but you are listening to their soul and true feelings.

did any of you guys read rolling stones' new immortals issue? little stevie from the e street band writes about him. he talks about how every lead guitarist out there owes a debt of gratitude to clapton because he set up the blueprint.

jeff beck has my favorite tone.

Just to get the opinion of some people outside of the Pink Floyd thread, what do you guys think of Syd Barrett's solo career? I love it, I own all of it, and I can't think of a single song I don't like. It always seems to put me in a good mood too.

i don't read rolling stone, too much ashley simpson, britney spears blah blah crap.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]i don't read rolling stone, too much ashley simpson, britney spears blah blah crap.[/QUOTE]
....where? i havent seen one mention of either them lately except for one picture and comment about spears getting fat. thats it.

dboons music thread needs more contributers and comments. livewired and i have been putting up some good free music. so take it. on the last page theres like, 10 songs from me and a couple from livewired.

I read a few of them. I only really remember the one with Warren writing about the Dead.

You need to slow down with some of those. They'll be expired before I'm done with the previous tracks :p.

Do you guys like R. Crumb?

i'm a little embarrassed to confess that i actually didn't know Syd Barrett had a solo career. :upset:

Wow, you really need to hear some of his stuff. Long Gone is my favorite song by him.

i know, im a machine. i liked the one on cream and the one on the allmans. elton john wrote one about eminem.

Guys, I need some Who reccomendations. I've only heard about 3-4 songs :upset:

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]i'm a little embarrassed to confess that i actually didn't know Syd Barrett had a solo career. :upset:[/QUOTE]

He put out two cds one called Barrett, and the other The Madcap Laughs. Now don't expect to hear Piper at the Gates of Dawn stuff, his song Pink Floyd song Jugband Blues is more close to his solo career. Also rare and alternet recordings were relased on the cd titled Opel, and he just came out with a greatest hits with two unrealased tracks Bob Dylan Blues and Two of a Kind. All his songs are really catchy.
