I like the fact that Black Stone Cherry is very Southern sounding while being hard rock. Definitely a cool mixture. And I'm not into the "heavier" stuff, but they're really good.

Isn't the Robert Randolph Band basically a cover band that does funky renditions of 60's + 70's songs? I'm seeing them in a few months, and looking forward to it - but this was my impression...
No. They have two albums out that are very good. The show I saw them at they played mostly new songs from their recent album Colorblind, including their semi-hit Ain't Nothing Wrong With That. Now, they've been known to pull out Billie Jean and some really cool covers, but they've built up enough material that they're not a cover band.
As a matter of fact, here's their discography. Definitely worth checking out:

Yeah yeah. Ill admit you are right. But I just want to see Led Zeppelin one more time before I leave ths Earth.
That's still no reason to hate on Allison Krauss. She's an innocent bystander in this.
But what the hell do I know.
-
I certainly dont hate him. No way. But Im pissed at him. Just like Mr LP59 who isnt fooling me any. But Im pissed at Plant even more. Turns down millions, and lets down his fans for this crap he is doing with Allison. Im sure he is doing her. Has to be.
Allison Krauss is one of the most respected artists in country and bluegrass music. She has an amazing voice and is a great violin player. Her band is a top-notch band, one of the best in the business. In fact, it was her guitar player, Dan Tyminski, who did the famous version of Man Of Constant Sorrow off of the Oh Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack. Her band also has Jerry Douglas, the famous dobro player, in it as well. She is no slouch in the music world. I very seriously doubt that her and Plant are "doing it." They're both great musicians working together. To imply that is the only reason they're doing is to discredit both of their artistic integrities.

Like any style of music that becomes popular, you're going to have those that try to take advantage of it. Rap certainly falls in that. Do I think everybody who does rap is trying to be commercial. Heck no. There are a lot of guys out there that are doing some pretty radical things with the genre. But that don't sell records. I like bands like the North Mississippi All Stars aren't afraid to try and use elements of it in their music, and when used right, it really brings out a level of blues that is actually quite intriguing. Do I actually like hip hop and rap? Not really. But some of its elements can be used. I love Gnarls Barkley, because they're doing something pretty unique with the rnb/hip hop genre. They ain't talking about bitches and ho's. And they come up with some pretty cool songs with a lot of soulful singing that almost goes back to old school 70s funk. The point is, any genre of music can be taken and bludgeoned to death. Look what Zeppelin started, yeah that ended well didn't it. By the 90s everybody was glad hair metal died. You say Zeppelin had nothing to do with it, well big freakin' blonde haired singers playing lightning fast riffs and solos. Yeah, they did, although I think that wasn't their intention. Just doing what they do.
-
You're quoting Rolling Stone? That's not the best way to make your case. Most music lovers I know hate Rolling Stone and don't even consider them a viable source of anything. Heck, they slagged on Zeppelin early on didn't they???? Then only after it was obvious that they were wrong did they hop on the bandwagon.
Eddie Van Halen is one of the greatest guitarists of all-time. You can't just say he drools.
All of this quoting record sales and rankings is quite stupid. Think about it. If that were the case, the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears would be considered the greatest artists of all-time, if we're talking record sales....does that make sense?
-
In tribute to the Jimmy vs. Eddie thread, I have pulled out Van Halen I. And it kicks ass.
-
And one more thing: this thread has gotten me to revisit Van Halen, and man do they kick ass.
-
Hendrix was thought of unkindly for a while as well. Why? Overkill. You never know, that style might come back.
And yes, Derek Trucks is amazing. Songlines is one of the best albums released in a long time.
-
They aren't even in the same league.
Jimmy is far more talented then Eddie on so many levels.
Take a look at the longevity of their music.
Take a look at record sales.
Take a look at concert records.
How many VH songs are timeless?
How many LZ songs are timeless?
I'm sorry. I like Eddie, and appreciate his ability, but on Jimmy's worst day, he outplays Eddie.
Both have sold a lot of records, both have had a lot of classic songs, and a lot of people still worship at the altar of both guitarists. Both are great. Again, it's just whichever you prefer. Me, I prefer Zeppelin over Van Halen, just do, can't explain it. But does that mean I don't spin some Van Halen stuff often? Far from it. Love those guys.
Great music is great music.
-
The only thing I hate worse than tapping is 'horse noises', or wait,
make that 'elephant noises', or wait, playing the guitar with a powerdrill...now thats something to be despised.
Other than that bullshit, EV is a great fucking guitarist, but he could never touch people with his music in the manner that Jimmy Page has, not even close.
I think that's more because of what Zeppelin set out to accomplish and what Van Halen set out to accomplish. Van Halen is a party band, plain and simple, same with ZZ Top, one of my other absolutely all-time favorite bands. Zeppelin was always more serious when it came to music. So, if we're talking about "touching people" if you're saying, "HEY! LET'S HAVE A GOOD TIME!" that's going to not be considered as "touching" as being more serious.
-
I always love this argument. Comes up by every newbie on a Zeppelin board who heard that comment by EVH. Same old opinions, Page could do this, Eddie could do that. Truth be told they all looked to the past and then developed techniques for themselves to be used within their own idiom.
The real reason Zeppelin fans don't like VH is simply because they were the pretenders to the throne of Zeppelin in the US, punk never even entered into the equation back in 1977. It was the end of an era.
Personally I say thank God for EVH, he dragged rock guitar playing kicking and screaming out of the dead end that was the blues. It's hardly his fault we got RATT, Warrant, and the rest is it?
Don't blame the blues dude. Without the blues, rock is nothing. Everytime Page bends a note I suggest you thank B.b. King and T-Bone Walker.
-
What's up with these "vs" threads? Hendrix, Page, Van Halen are all incredible in their own right. When you get as good as these guys were/are, it's just a matter of opinion, and that's it.
-
We may lose that when the last of the old guard is gone.Its hard to say if anyone will be able to duplicate that sound.Its like having your mothers recipe for making something and you cab
I know your a big SRV fan,but even he brought his own sound to the table.Which is good.
Oh, I know. I'm just saying that was a unique way. B.B. King's blues are the same as Stevie's blues, but completely different at the same time.
-
You dont think so? I get the blues wax ezine and it seems there are alot of band out there playing that style.Probably not as well,but I am not familiar enough with them to give out any details.
Not like they do. There's just something different about those guys from way back when. I don't want to say it's more "authentic," but there is something there in my ears that I don't hear when I listen to other people try and do it.
-
I count myself as very lucky to be able to have seen B.B. King (twice), Hubert Sumlin, and Buddy Guy. The stuff they're doing just isn't done anymore.
-
I'll just go ahead and post this link. It's on Joe's website and features a ton of cool videos of him playing and whatnot.
