His wide range of abilities include his long jamming efforts that often
exceeded 15 minutes. In one effort in London (I think) he finished a
lengthened version of Stairway to heaven with a camera close-up revealing
the lather of sweat dripping from his face. The guy is bloody incredible. I
first heard his playing when a family member gave me LZ-3 for my
birthday,..now all these years later, I still never fail to be blown away by
his efforts.
Explaining his talent to youngsters of today, is a task I find both
rewarding and frustrating. As the technicalities of brilliant performances
like his, are lost on many youngsters who think "Lady Ga Ga" is the duck's
guts.....

Psssst. It's a LED ZEPPELIN newsgroup. No one here is going to
disagree with you.
Post on alt.music.van-halen and see if you get any opinions.
No self respecting analyst or anyone else with an appreciation of
musical history would bother......like Bon Jovi and that appalling
collection of misfits known as Guns n' Roses, your VH should be
consigned to Rock's garbage bin

I take that back.
I refuse to discuss music whit assholes who never made any.
I know of folks who swear by Van Halen as "the" lead guitar player. I have
tried listening to him in an unbiased way,..but I can't hear the creativity
that greater players can invoke seamlessly into the score.
Some groups dont do that well live,..but LZ transform into a greater form,
in fact the studio versions can sound almost mechanical by comparison.

Can't say I have seen that movie,...but with the "Guitar God" JP appearing,
it will be a shock and awe campaign on my part, to wrestle a ticket to get
to it. I mean,..how could I miss it, being such a "fan-boi" of JP ?.
The press interview and deleted scenes were far more interesting than
what had been included! eh The jam scenes were embarrassingly awkward,

Lotta Love,
You would think that riff was bread and butter for JP,.but,indeed, here's
one of the critiques>>
"Guggenheim's attempts to inject some drama hit a bum note while the
climactic summit between the three axe gods is let down by a lack of
chemistry, resulting in more of a cheerful jam than a headline act. "
There you go....
But,.hey,..tch tch,..no shows of disloyalty here now, otherwise you will be
sentenced to listen to L Kravitz thru an entire album ! Naaah,..I wouldn't
do that to you,..perhaps an alternative lesson in GG playing eg Carlos
Santana doing Oiya! Coma Vah! at W/stock,.....or more seriously, Manzarek
doing bass/keyboards AND singing lead at that concert (or was it *all* those
concerts) that Jim was on, but ended up in an ECU, getting a transfusion to
increase his
blood to drugs ratio above 35/65?
But hey,..for all his talent, Ray was not a GG,..so sorry, we'll have to
think of another worthy punishment for you?? Now,..whooooooo,..yeah that 's
it,.. Pete Townshend,..naaaah,..not a worthy replacement,..well it's time
to fall back on that player whom all others are judged by,..Hendri,..no!
Richie Blackmore,.the man in black (wasn't that Johnny Cash?)
doin off with the fairies - jam in "Mistreated",..Californian Jam of course
,'74.
Blackmore is one of those GGs that wins by the sound of his playing rather
than the the content or can I dare say>talent? I am a great fan of
his,..and I think only RB could get away with playing one note for 20
seconds in his "Mistreated" intro. What is it that hooks us?? During his
many "departures", other great players like Steve Morse have taken his
place, played much better,..but lack that essential quality. I think there
comes a point where we are hooked on the whole picture, rather than the
individual components.
as The Edge & Jack White (why the hell was he included?
I dont know,..in an attempt to get up to speed with Mr White, I Youtubed him
doing House-rising sun. Well,..his guitar was pretty ordinary, and his voice
was terrible. He is tone-deaf.
eheh) looked on with a smirk and a gape! This is the one thing that
has always troubled me: Page is a sloppy live player!!
Awww,..c'mon,..you're laying it on thick now!
Too ludicrous to comment on,..Althoa discorndant note is not something
greats will never be guilty of,..but rather it reminds us they are mere
mortals,..after all.
Except when playing the guitar !
Nancy Wilson
from Heart does Battle Of Evermore better than Page!eheh I kibbitz you
not!ehe
Doesnt JPJ do the mandolin bit on that song,..or was it Page? Probably not
Page as someone had to do the acoustic guitar.

Music,..for example classical, has shown us that race is not an issue. Great
classical composers have come from all habitats :-), and while it could be
argued that African americans have shown the way with blues, it's more a
function of *why* they are so great at that particular genre.

Are yes,..must admit I had to do *another* quick google to remind me of his
playing (more an indictment on my music library, or lack of it), and "The
Man can Play".
To get a full appreciation, one needs to hear many of a musician's work. My
father, who listened exclusively to the Classics, once described that
listening to the whole piece, was like embarking on a journey where the
composer took you from A to B all the while painting an image in your mind
as the journey progressed,..in fact most classical pieces on vinyl came with
the composer's story on what he was depicting on the rear of the album's
cover.
With JP,..especially his mid-song jams, he also does exactly that, which my
father was talking about. It's a journey, not a single dimensional theme.

Not a fair argument, since you are comparing two different generations

"Guitar God" as EVH! He WAS a child guitar prodigy, having mastered

Jews, who account for such a tiny fraction of the world's population,
have been able to achieve so much and excel in so many different
fields - science, music, medicine, literature, arts, business and
more. If you listed the most influential people of the last hundred
years, three at the top of the list would be Einstein, Freud and Marx;
all were Jews. Many more belong on the list, yet Jews comprise at most
less than 3 percent of the United States population. They are an
amazing people. Imagine the persecution they endured over the
centuries: pogroms, temple burnings, Cossack raids, uprootings of
families, their dispersal to the winds and the Holocaust. After the
Diaspora, they could not own land or worship in much of the world;
they were prohibited from voting and were told where to live. Yet
their children survived and Jews became by far the most accomplished
people per capita that the world has ever produced" - MARLON BRANDO,

Not a fair argument, since you are comparing two different generations

Since when has that become a no-no?
And not since Hendrix has there been as identifiable a

Well, we have to disagree on that. I think because we use a number of
faculties when we assess one player against another,..by definition, we
leave a bit of our own personality with those choices.
He WAS a child guitar prodigy, having mastered
every Cream lick by the time he was 15! Yes, E.C. is his God!
Clappo is historicaly a much acclaimed player,..yet I find his efforts much
like diamonds mixed with the slush : flashes of brilliance.

Nay I didnt know,..but not being a Van Halen adherant, I'm not surprised.

Well, Hendrix be The Man! eh Then again, he does have a slight
advantage over E.C. - he's dead!ehe In terms of pop culture musicians,
far and few come close to Hendrix. Most are vocalists, ala Lennon.
Jason, what's next? Will you try to
argue The Godfather I & II? LOL!.....

With the exception of John Fogerty, E.C. was only one of a few lead
guitarists to go above and beyond. You never heard 10 minute
improvisational leads until Cream came onto the scene. In terms of
lead work, I am sticking with E.C. In terms of post-60s Guitar Gods,
no one comes close to EVH. Satriani came close, but no Clinton Cigar!
eh P.S. If you have yet to, check out "Behind The Sun" & "August!"
E.C.'s foray into '80s pop! eh While it's no Cream, it still remains
two of my favorite E.C. albums.

Jason, I've kicked plenty of cyber Neo-Nazi tuchis in my day!eheh It's
almost as fun as watching the handicapped!ehe One important thing that
you seem to be forgetting: all groups do not comprise 1/4 of 1% of the
World's population. All groups are not universally acknowledged as the
source of many of the world's major religions. All groups have not
exerted an influence on Western Civilization more profound and lasting
than any other ancient culture. All groups had not gone without a
homeland for eighteen-hundred years. All groups have not lost 6M in
the Holocaust. All groups have not been persecuted for thousands of
years, while still being able to excel in every field of human
endeavor. This IS what makes Jews separate and unique from any other
peoples.
