He is. Back in '84, my parents saw him. And he was opening for the Dire Straits, I might add :eek:

My parents saw him about two weeks before he died.

They also saw the Dead when I was in the womb :cool:

That's how it was with me. Feels great, eh?

Good to know. Any particular favs?

SRV is an okay blues player but he doesn't strike me as being extraordinary.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]SRV is an okay blues player but he doesn't strike me as being extraordinary.[/QUOTE]
well he wasnt the most original but he **** sure knew his way around his guitar. some of his stuff is quite technically challenging. also, his cover of little wing is 6 minutes of some of the best and most tasteful guitar playing i have ever heard. in my opinion of course.

Of course.

He's talented, but is stuff is pretty same-y and doesn't do much for me.

You know, I could see where your coming from if you mean being original (whitch is usually the first thing I look for in a guitar player). The reasons I respect him so much are that he is very good, and that he kept the blues alive and mainstream at a time when it was dying.

[QUOTE=magicbus]I like your avatar.[/QUOTE]
Me too. :smoke:

What ever happened to SRV anyway?

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Of course.

I feel the same way, he is an incredible player but seems to have no variety. He just solos all the time.

[QUOTE=Schyma]Me too. :smoke:

He died in a helicopter accident in 1990. When I was watching the DVD, I forgot that he was dead for a while.

Any concert footage on DVD?

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I feel the same way, he is an incredible player but seems to have no variety. He just solos all the time.[/QUOTE]

And his solos all begin to sound the same too.

You again? I thought you shot yourself after the game last night. :p

I think he's the best white blues singer ever. (exept Cap. Beefheart)

Has anyone heard [I]Soul to Soul[/I]?

[QUOTE]I think he's the best white blues singer ever. (exept Cap. Beefheart)[/QUOTE]

Blues is just a portion of Beefheart's music.

SRV is all Blues.

Don't get me started on the game last night :upset:

my favorite white blues singer is janis joplin, followed by joe cocker

[QUOTE=magicbus]He died in a helicopter accident in 1990. When I was watching the DVD, I forgot that he was dead for a while.[/QUOTE]
Absolutely tragic, I think. I mean, we keep losing rock legends in air vehicle crashes. Buddy Holly, SRV... when I become a legend, I'm traveling by car.

I'm just surprised Don McLean didn't write a 10 minute song about SRV's death. Not to be bashing "American Pie"; it is, of course, an amazing song. I haven't heard it in years, though. Darn.

Oh, and great avatar/usertitle. Stever Howe = the man. I [heart] Yes.

[QUOTE=B0nz0]my favorite white blues singer is janis joplin, followed by joe cocker[/QUOTE]

I like Janis Joplin, she was cool. And my dad saw Joe Cocker open for The Guess Who a few years ago :eek:


Da[COLOR=White]m[/COLOR]n conert-going parents :upset: .

[QUOTE=B0nz0]60's and 70's were when rock was at it's pinacle. today it seems to be going further down hill...but along the way there were some 80's greats, like queen, ac/dc, van halen, billy joel, etc. let's not forget them, they are classic rock as well.

i notice no1's mentioned george thorogood, the doobie bros., iron butterfly, the animals, srv, journey, styx, the moody blues... etc. what are some of ur favorite lesser know classic rock artists?[/QUOTE]

Queen weren't eighties, they started in 1971 :angry:

[QUOTE=Schyma]Any concert footage on DVD?[/QUOTE]
Yea the whole dvd is two concerts, and a documentary on them. It was really cool. Its called Live At Montreaux 1982-1985. You should check it out.
