Music is like religion and politics, you will never agree and you will always think differently from everyone else. Snaggie likes Mayer and WE likes Dave Matthews, I don't care for either one of their acts, but will not say they aren't talented. Kinda like I told Kaos with Ace, he doesn't do it for me, doesn't mean that he isn't good and has influenced others.

I can't stand Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young as people. Liberal fruitcakes imo, didn't much care for their lyrics, but their music I like. If you could take the vocals out of Ohio, then it would be a kick ass song. It gets me going.

Speaking of burrbinz.....Snaggie, you must try some Eagle Rare. Solid drink.

For the record, I am not a hard core Dave fan. I don't like any of his new shit.

What Gene said about hiring Ace (heavily paraphrased):

Auditioned tons of guitarists. Guys who were technically proficient, guys who could play thousands of notes. But that's like a bunch of angry bees. Maybe that's what some people like, but it's not who we wanted to be. We were looking for a sound that fit, a style that made sense with what we were doing. As soon as Ace plugged in and hit the first notes, we knew he was the guy.

Ace isn't angry bees. He fits. And he's pretty good. His guitar smokes and shoots fireworks. The first to do that kind of stuff. Do I care if he can't skibbeldy-bee-boop all over the place? Nope. I don't care for that.

Same with singing. I'm not impressed if you can hit 18 notes (Christina Aguilera, I'm talking to you) when one will suffice. I want to hear the song, not your self-indulgent wailing.

John Mayer is a bleeding homo.

Yeah you're talking about fitting someone in a band here, that's different. Doesn't make him a great guitarist. Les Claypool (Primus) was turned down by Metallica because he def didn't fit in. Doesn't mean he sucks as a bassist (maybe as a lyricists or vocalist). You need a guy that has some of the Ace flash with some of the Stevie Ray chops.

But the Taylor guitar guy, that's a totally different breed. Go look at Tommy Emmanuel or Andy McKee on Youtube. Heck, go watch Chet Atkins. You'll be impressed, but you'll be bored to tears pretty soon.

And the greatest guitarist in the world is Doc Watson.

Saw Chett Atkins many many years ago. Picked up a cassette tape (That's how long ago it was) of Chett and Jerry Reed. Literally wore it out. On the surface, not music you'd think you wanted to listen to, but when you started realizing these two world class guitarists were trading licks song after song, I couldn't stop listening.

Saban was there. He was greatly affected by this.

Really? I did not know this, interesting.

Who has a red guitar and thinks your list sucks?

This guy.

Lot's of folks will put B.B. King in there, and it's hard to argue with that. The man can play, but Albert King was just as good imo.

I prefer Freddie King.

Holy shit.
Have you EEEEEEEEEEEva loved a woman. SO MUCH you tremble in pain.
Fucking unreal...

My favorite song he sings. If you can't feel the pain in this, check your heart beat...

1) I like Arcade Fire.

2) Tom Morello thinks those Dave Matthews videos are cute. And he makes music that is good in the process.

3) The alternative music category included good music. The "they're not Casey Kasem's top 10 hitmakers, therefore they're not artists deserving of a grammy" is one of the most ignorant comments that can be made on the subject. The Black Keys cleaned up too. Listen to them. They are good.

4)Justin Beiber actually is an amazingly talented drummer.

Skip to 2:39.

Check out the end. He is not the only one playing the drums. Also, You can tell at the beginning too.

I've got Bieber Fever, yes I do.

I've got Bieber Fever, how bout you?

For realz though, I had just seen that clip and was really shocked. Kind of makes you rethink who's a "talented musician".
