MS1 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I can take or leave Stevie Nicks era Fleetwood Mac (though I think Lindsay Buckingham is very talented) but I LOVE Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac! Jimmy has sited The Mac as an influence, and I think there's plenty to inspire a Zep fan Green's work. Here are some vids - more to come! Rattlesnake Shake Oh Well A lot of people have pointed out the similarities between Oh Well and Black Dog, see what you think . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danelectro Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Peter Green=great phrasing and touch. IMO he is the best player of his era, his vocals were damn smart too, especially on songs like Need Your Love So Bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I recommend this.. I love Peter Green. Nothing more needs to be said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Klu Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yay my favorite guitar guy! The only white blues guy I respect for his blues playing, not the generic guitar hero (yeah that was cute, now play something heavy/fast) angle. Claptons reputation (the 'god' one, not the overrated over the hill pussy soft rock one) should belong to this guy. Wonder if Pete still wears robes...

mos6507 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Both Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were able to move beyond their blues roots, but Clapton has become a blues immitator more than his own thing. Like his fakey BB King "throaty-scratchy" singing style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS1 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Make sure you sit through the animator talking to get through to an amazing and appropriately creepy animated video for one of my favorite Peter Green songs, Green Manalishi.

Like his fakey BB King "throaty-scratchy" singing style. Usually the gripe is the other way around, that Clapton has spent a large part of his later career leaning towards pop. I think it's fair to say EC has been not only more active but more varied in his later career, JB and JP have by and large been musically inactive compared to EC. If JB and JP have moved beyond their roots it's been toward semi-retirement while EC has stayed active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Symbol Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Not too many artists are worthy of the accolades accorded to them, but Greeny is one of them. I love Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef free Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Pete was one of a very few brit-rockers who was not intimidated by Jimi, that about sez it all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MS1 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Pete was one of a very few brit-rockers who was not intimidated by Jimi, that about sez it all! "Underway" from Then Play On was influenced by Jimi. It's one of my favorite Mac Tracks! Another 'says it all' thing is the Beatles' "Sun King", which is clearly influenced by Greeny tracks like "Underway" and "Albatross".

Rock Action Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Peter Green was the TRUE Mac. I'll second that heartily. I always loved the ORIGINAL Black Magic Woman, with that nice bluesy ending. And Green Manalishi brings back a lot of memories. What a monster that is!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If JB and JP have moved beyond their roots it's been toward semi-retirement while EC has stayed active. Bullshit, Jeff Beck has released plenty of recent albums, better than the crap Clapton is putting out, and better than the vast nothingness that Jimmy Page is putting out. From wikipedia: "Much of his output has been instrumental, and his releases have spanned genres, ranging from blues-rock, heavy metal, jazz fusion and (currently) a blend of guitar-rock and electronica. This versatility has made it difficult for Beck to establish and maintain a broad following." Also, these look like pretty recent albums to me Who Else! – 1999 #99 US You Had It Coming – 2001 #110 US Jeff – 2003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
