Clapton, Beck, Page vs Hendrix, Gibbons, Vaughn
Who do you like better?
From the UK: Eric Clapton Jeff Beck Jimmy Page From America: Jimi Hendrix Billy Gibbons Stevie Ray Vaughn |
you should make a poll, but Page and Hendrix
|
i don't really listen to any of them but i can tell you for certain Eric Clapton is one of the most boring guitarists i've had the misfortune to hear. his playing conjures up images of aging bluesmen sitting in a rocking chair still sticking to the guns they proudly wear as if to say "look at what i've done here, still playing the same licks forty years later."
insanely overrated as a guitarist and unimaginably boring to listen to. |

I'm saving Page for a Jimmy Page vs Steve Howe poll. |

except for pretty much everything he did in cream and / or any band setting that wasn't listed as his name. but yeah clapton as a solo artist is far beyond boring. |
Except the Slowhand album is really good. I do agree that just about the rest of his solo stuff is hella boring. But whatever, he's still a great guitarist for Cream alone.
For me, preference wise. Page > Hendrix > Beck > Clapton > Vaughn >>>>>>>>>> Gibbons. Not a big ZZ Top fan. |

I actually like Beck's solo stuff more than The Yardbirds.
Blow by Blow is a classic fusion album. He also played for Stevie Wonder and appeared on Talking Book, which people sometimes forget. Did you know Stevie Wonder wrote some of the tracks on Blow by Blow and plays keyboard on them? |

i get fairly aggravated at all the crap floating around that still puts him on some ridiculous pedestal. i don't find his work remotely intriguing. |
