[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]Yeah I can't count the number of kids at my school who think they are hot sh[COLOR=White]i[/COLOR]t because they can play the intro. Its weird you know when you ask them to play the whole thing they stare at you like a deer in headlights.[/QUOTE]
haha I know exactly what you mean! Poor, misguided children.

blackmore's definitely a riff master. i think the mk III lineup is really overlooked. burn is my favorite album in their library of work. the title song itself is amazing. great riff, great drumming, amazing solo. needless to say i voted blackmore for this poll seeing as how he was somewhat low for who he is.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]Do you guys think the whole sloppy thing really matters. I mean if its horrible it does, but everybody says Jimi Hendrix was sloppy (whitch he was I guess) but I have countless live stuff from him, and I don't mind it at all, is it really that big of a deal?[/QUOTE]

What you call sloppy, I call conveying emotion.

The solo in Highway Star is amazing.

this is true. the same could be said for child in time as well as countless other purple songs.

Agreed, Lazy is great too.

I just learned Another Day in the Life today on guitar. Probably my favorite beatles song too :thumb:[/QUOTE]

The bass part was one of the first things I ever learned to play, it's one of my favorites

sup guys.

Sup?

I don't think he's really classic rock, but anybody here into Dick Dale? Surf guitar > you

Seriously, the guy's great.

I love surf music.

Dick Dale is awesome,
I like Beach Boy's earlier stuff a lot too.

Beach Boys are great, Pet Sounds is an excellent album :)

So I thought I'd check up on the 'ol Classic Rock thread and I'm surprised to find out that no one mentioned Clapton's birthday is today.

I didn't know that!

[QUOTE=magicbus]I didn't know that![/QUOTE]
Neither did I.

Of course I knew that

/avoids eye contact

i didnt know that he grew hair until i saw a recent picture of him. also i didnt know it was his birthday.

dick dale is a cool cat but i would have to say that link wray is cooler. if you havent heard him i suggest you check him out.

Did you see him at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show? He was sportin' the "Unplugged" hair. By the way, the Buddy Guy, B.B King, Clapton jam was awesome.

NP: Neil Young - Cowgirl In the Sand :cool:

That is an amazing song

I liked it so much I learned the bassline

I just decided I am going to go to art/music school! I am really excited.

[QUOTE=Walrus Gumboot]Thats soo bitchin' :D I wish I were[/QUOTE]

I spent this year at community college, completely miserable. I finally figured out that I really just want to be involved with art and music.

The big 6-0. That's old.

[QUOTE=magicbus]The big 6-0. That's old.[/QUOTE]

He's still amazing though.

Better than ever, methinks.

He's going to immediately lose all of his talent now that he's 60.
