Many Flamenco players are absolutely superb but virtually unknown, i have seen many clips that have blown my mind but couldn't name one. Best lead player, Dave Gilmore by far though that clip of Prince has surprised me. Gilmore never looks in pain when playing, he never looks at his guitar when playing, it's just a part of him and the playing is just so natural and easy whilst still being a few rungs above everyone else.
The much troubled and sadly missed Mr Stevie Ray Vaughan. Helped to popularize the Texas Blues sound and renowned for using heavy gauge guitar strings (13's) and the Tube Screamer to power his distinctive style. As well as his own recordings SRV played on many sessions, perhaps the most famous of which can be heard on David Bowie's Let's Dance album. Stevie was killed in a helicopter crash just as his career was on the brink of going international. please log in to view this image
Anyway, Gilmore, I could run rings round that Shiite hippie cûnt in my sleep. It’s perplexing why anyone rates his self indulgent tedium. Makes Mark Knobfeeler appear almost interesting. “ hey Dave, how do you get that special boring as **** Quaalude sound?” “ oh, it was really easy, I just projected into the future on the astral plane and imagined I was the Sting of guitar players” **** me , I hate pink floyd.
Did I ever tell you about that burd I used to ride who liked Pink Floyd? No? Well, there was this burd who I used to ride and she really liked Pink Floyd. True story.
No but she let me shave her watnot if that helps. She'd stick on Pink Floyd whilst we engaged in coitus, the only upshot was that it took my mind off the act so well that I would last longer than Ron Jeremy. I have had more than my fair share of munters in my time but she was quality, body built for pure evil. Shame she was a psycho hose-beast, it was never going to last. Unlike me when she played Dark Side of the Moon on a loop.
Gonna give an honourable mention to Stuart Adamson ... firstly in Skids mode and latterly with Big Country ... still love The Crossing and especially Porrohman ...
Totally agree. The intro to "Into The Valley" is genius. Saw Big Country live 8 times, brilliant live band.
