Thank you Toni!! it has been so long ago I believe that Greg was the one Busted and it turned states witness to save his but and ratted out everyone else!And time heals wounds but they got back together just for the money

Email   Nuff Said  

And the "Allman and Woman" album that Greg and Cher put out sucked, in my opinion. I'm gonna have to take a trip to the library tonight and see if I can't find that book again. That's where I got it before.

I saw the Allman Bros band last summer and I thought they rocked. They now have Warren Haynes and Butch Trucks doing the guitar work. Its obviously not the original Allmans but if you want to see a show that has kickin guitar playing and extended jamms I suggest going to see them. Its one of those shows where you think it can t get any more intense then they take it to the next level.

PS. I wish I could be writing this about the Alvin Lee Band on there 2006 North American tour…………

Maybe in the beginning, but they surely don't need the money NOW. They've been one of the most succesful touring bands ever. I give prop's to their guitarist Warren Haynes. At Riverbend here in Cincinnati a few years ago, he played with opening band Government Mule, follow up band The Dead, and headliners The Allmans, playing lead guitar for all three bands at the same show. If you've ever seen just one of those bands live, you'll know that's a Herculean feat by itself.

You mean "Warren Haynes and DEREK Trucks" don't you CJ? Butch Trucks is their drummer, Derek is his nephew, and phenominal. Alot of times, I think his slide playing sounds like a steel guitar. Duane is my alltime favorite slide guitarist, but Derek plays stuff I've never heard ANYONE do. His wife, blues singer Susan Tedeschi is also a killer guitarist in her own right.

Yes you are correct.Its Derrek Trucks not Butch. My mistake. A kickin show none the less.

I always thought "Cinnamon Girl" had a uniquie solo. Neil Young just keeps hitting that one "D" note over the "D, Am, C, G" chord changes. "One Note Neil".

Good move Rob - change the subject back to the beginning. Hey, Ronnie, I know this was just a pretty emotional topic - you okay?

Hey Toni, I know you're a big Neil Young fan. Do you have a favorite Neil solo? Mine would be a 4-way toss up between "Powderfinger", "Down By The River", "Cowgirl In The Sand", and "Cortez The Killer"

When Neil played in a small club in Cotati CA with the Bluenotes he played some heart wrenching kinda atonal leads. Lonely yet beautiful.

Email  

I never did see any of the Bluenotes shows. I am very impressed. And Rob, I'm not very good at picking bests of anything because I change my mind all the time! But Down by the River is awesome.

I never change my mind Toni..........yes I do........no, I don't.........trust me, I do!!!

Yeah, Brian, that kind of sums up Neils style for me, "atonal yet beautiful".

Hey Toni, I once saw a clip of "Down By The River" being played by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young on some documentary about the 60's. They only played a few seconds of it, but what I heard sounded great. For the longest time, I thought maybe it was on the CSNY Four Way Street album, but it's not. The only version I've heard is off Decade(what a GREAT album).

HEY ROB YOU MENTIONED SLIDE PLAYERS HAVE YOU EVER HEARD A FELLOW FROM ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE PLACES IN THE WORLD PERTH AUST. HIS NAME IS (DAVE HOLE). CERTAINLY NOT A HOUSEHOLD NAME BUT THE MAN CAN PLAY THE SHI. OUT OF THE SLIDE BLUES. HE PLAYS SLIDE OVER THE TOP OF THE NECK ROB WHICH IS DIFFERANT FOR SURE, HE,S ON ALLIGATOR RECORDS IF YOU CAN GET A SAMPLE TO LISTEN TO CHECK HIM OUT HE,S VERY GOOD HE,S AN EXAMPLE OF THE KIND OF PEOPLE DON SPOKE OF FOR SURE I COULD LIST #15-20 GUITAR PICKERS AND BANDS THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF OUTSIDE THERE AREAS, WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THE BLUES SO EXCITING PEACE PAUL

Warren Haynes is a great guitar player.. and the hardest working man in the music business. He is also a great slide guitarest.. Dave Hole is no slouch.... Also Neil Young has quite a few great solo's..Cowgirl in the Sand.. Down By The River..Everybody Knows this is Nowhere...Words, The list goes on.
One of my favs. A guy by the name of Alvin Lee- The Bluest Blues...
there's more.. good topic..

Email  

Oh man, I forgot all about "Words"( between the lines of age)!! Yeah Kevin, GREAT song!

Yes Paul, I heard Dave Hole years ago after reading an article about him in a guitar magazine. They said he was huge in Australia, but virtually unkown here in the States. Two other great slide guitarist's are Sonny Landreth and Roy Rogers(NOT the cowboy). As I've said before, Duane Allman is my favorite, just so...bluesy, followed closely by Johnny Winter for his raw Texas meets Muddy Water's style. I always thought Rory Gallagher was the Johnny Winter from "across the pond" .
