Both bands were fantastic, but the only similarity is that they were both rock bands. Zep had lengthy solos, the Who rarely did, except perhaps for Live At Leeds. Very talented musicians in both, but The Who had some punk overtones from time to time, where Zep had some Metal overtones occasionally.

Great video thanks, supposedly there is a new album in the works, that will feature all of the remaining original members, While most of them did play on WTMN 2, this is supposed to be for the whole album, could be very interesting.

One of the best in my book, funny side note, a younger co-worker told me that this was a great song by Metallica, I corrected him, he was stunned.

Thanks for the linkage sixpense, very enjoyable. Too bad they didn't last longer.

Sammy will be back with them next year, watch & see. Remember, you heard it hear first.

I think Jeff is a phenomenal player, but I lose interest without a vocalist. It's too bad, because of the older guitar players that play live somewhat regularly, Jeff is the best. Gotta wonder how popular he would have been, had he a powerful vocalist/songwriter.
I think Satriani falls into the same category, I enjoy him 10x more, when he's playing with Chickenfoot.

I'm hoping to catch them sometime in the future, & not as an opening act.

Less than two weeks before Ritchie Blackmore does a full rock concert in I forget how many years.
It's a shame that there are no US dates.

I believe Rover meant that Jimi re-invented how electric guitar was played and could be played. Jimi was the first to go batshit with the tremolo, he was the first to use distortion & effects to such a degree to obtain the sound he wanted. He was the first guitarist who could play well that also projected such intensity & sexuality to the crowd. Clapton & McCartney were just as blown away by Jimi's stage presence as they were by his virtuosity.
Jimi was the triple threat as a guitarist akin to the triple treat in theatre, Jimi could play very, very well, he could write, and he could project. No other guitarist before him could do all three, not even close.
Yes, that is correct IpMan, that's exactly what I meant.
kingzoso, I am quite aware of the electric guitar's history, I play one thanks.

"Totally agree with you on Clapton though. He does what he does well, but that's ALL he does. Dude bores me to tears. "
That's the only part of what you said I would agree with.
We really shouldn't compare the 2, both solid choices, Balthazor give the Hendrix catalog more of a listen, you may like what you hear.

He seemed to be such a charming character, I would loved to have seen him perform in person, but alas was too young - he is one of my fav singers though, a true blue collar style of voice
I was fortunate to see them in '78, as they opened for, & blew away Aerosmith. Such a talent, such a loss.
-
I felt the same, when you finish that start watching Better Call Saul, it just wrapped the second season, you'll see some familiar characters.

It has been an early spring in the Chicagoland area, it is about 65 degrees now, partly sunny.
-
Since I reside in Illinois I have seen them many times, sometimes by accident, they were on the bill. They have never disappointed, even a few years ago. However, their best show that I saw, was in the early 90's, where they were the headliner.
-
I saw a video of the performance which I believe was Hyde Park a while back on what used to be the Palladia channel, & it was thoroughly enjoying. I will agree that ELO is not for everyone, but if you keep an open mind, it was a quite good show.

My son just told me this weekend that he would love to see them live. Sadly, they are nowhere in our area.
Same here, no Chicagoland date.

Axl being confined to a chair is a real drag. It's a bit too karaoke now.
Yeah it is, & the answer to when this happened was when they did that tuneup gig at the Troubador on the Sunset Strip not that long ago.

Hendrix invented Electric Guitar, as we know it today, It's ok to come in 2nd in this poll 'nuff said.

^^ Hmmm, different strokes I guess. I feel the 80s was the best period for Rush, with the 90s being a close second...
That I would agree with you on, the early albums of the 70's had more fire & passion, but I guess if we all liked everything exactly the same, it would be boring.

lol.

I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one, but you have to give Slash some props on the guitar.
-
Well from what I heard Axl sounds better than I thought, not excited about going to Soldier Field in July w/ about 70,000 other people, that's too bad.
Reswati, I think you should give them another chance, millions of people can't be wrong. AFD & UYI 1&2 have some outstanding tracks on them.
-
it will be interesting to see where Axl's voice is, at this point. As I'm sure videos will surface in a couple of days, I guess we'll get the answer.

Glad you like Sabbath, Marmalade, good album but not one of their best, but certainly better than anything post Never Say Die!
I liked their stretch from Master of Reality to SBS best, although Vol. 4 is a mixed bag. NSD was a pleasant surprise, as was 13, but I'll stick with the 3 I mentioned here.

If DVD's count, Rainbow - Black Masquerade, highly recommended if you like them. Ritchie just amazing on guitar, as usual. Doogie White, really solid on vocals, a great watch.
