One of my friends got me Eliminator on vinyl for my birthday years ago, and never gave it to me. BAH.

Tes Hombres=AWESOME
Their last 3 (Rythmeen/XXX/Mescalero) are all really good as well; pretty much totally ignored but worth checking out

my dad is big on all the blues rock, he got me into ZZ Top, George Thoroughgood and Stevie Ray Vaughn when i was a kid.
while ZZ Top is nowhere near as awesome as the other two, they are still pretty excellent

Same deal with me. I just saw George Thorogood this past September. With fuckin Buddy Guy. SIIIIIIICKK. :bow:
I saw ZZ top a few years back. They Had Ted Nugent open. Also quite fantastic.

Blasphemy! Billy Gibbons owns Thorogood! SRV slays, but I gotta give the edge to ZZ Top on these 3...Billy Gibbons was Jimi Hendrix's favorite guitarist. WIN

well, i always found hendrix overrated, so that means nothing to me.
but as far as i'm concerned, Thorogood had more skill and personality than all three members of ZZ combined.
and Stevie Ray owns all other blues rock (and many old school blues) guitarists

I saw ZZ Top with Kenny Wayne Shepard and Ted Nugent @ Tweeter a few years back. Fucking phenomenal show.

Billy Gibons owns SRV. SRV was a white-boy Hendrix wannabe. Boring boring boring.

ugh what? haha

while i love ZZ Top i cant agree with that statement
[Oct 23,2008 2:10pm - aril ""]
I love how ZZ Top was in Back to the Future III. Fucking classic.

[Oct 23,2008 2:29pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]

coming from the guy who loves SRV and hates Hendrix, I'll take that as a compliment.

The fucking guy even ripped off Hendrix's clothes

[Oct 23,2008 2:59pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
so playing a similar blues style and wearing eccentric clothing warrants a death by plane/helicopter crash?

Yes, in fact he got off light for that cover of Voodoo Child.
[Oct 23,2008 3:06pm - FuckIsMySignature ""]
that cover is awesome. it was an homage. many bands do cover songs.
[Oct 23,2008 3:08pm - Mess ""]
i thought srv made voodoo child better. but at the same note, i know taking someone's song and making it better, is probably a lot easier than coming up with that original piece of material.

lol, are you talking about powerglove, Mess? lolll

its about paying tribute to a person/peice of music that inspired his musical style. not ripping off their music.

josh (and anyone else who likes that overrated hack more than Stevie Ray) is gay

srv and jimi hendrix are two entirely different players in my book. SRV's strength was in his tone and how hard he played, Jimi's was in his innovative song structures and use of effects. Both came from the same roots though so I can see how you can compare the two, but I still think they both have their own styles that warrant liking them both.

while i do think Hendrix was overrated, i do like the way you look at this particular situation.
[Oct 24,2008 8:48am - Sacreligion ""]
hendrix is overrated by today's standards but nobody was doing what he did to the extremes that he did back then. ya gotta figure nobody had played like him before that.
yay drugs.
[Oct 24,2008 8:50am - orgymf@work ""]
p.s.
if i wanted to rip off your band, i would just change some of your lyrics....
like this
if you like hendrix better than stevie ray - you're fucking gay
if you like bud better than sam adams - you're fucking gay
if you disagree with me - you're fucking gay
if your name is josh martin - you're fucking gay
y-o-u-r-e-g-a-y
YOU'RE GAY!
now i ripped off your band

lol @ yay drugs, hahaha
but no, i just mean i think he is overrated, in that he probably would not have the same reputation, were he white and right handed.
it's just an opinion, but back then, there was still a ridiculous amount of public racism, and i think Hendrix got alot of (maybe too much) credit for being a black dude in predominantly white rock music scene.
plus, people from that era had a strange fascination with left handed guitarists.....at least that's what i've gathered from people i've known/met who were around (and fans of his) when he was "in his prime"
[Oct 24,2008 8:55am - Sacreligion ""]
it's possible, but you can't deny that if there was no jimi hendrix then modern metal today wouldn't be the same.
i also can't deny that most of his music was drug-induced wanking

Right, like you would've said that to me otherwise. Give me a fucking break.
Regardless, you still have yet to give one single musical argument or even example of why SRV is better than Hendrix. You probably like Lenny Kravitz too.
What's next, St. Vitus is better than Black Sabbath? Pig Destroyer is better than Napalm Death?
Stop eating so much crap. The transfat is clogging your ears.

Iced Earth v. Blind Guardian. Takin all bets.

Seriously, what are you basing that on? Do you have any facts or evidence to back that up at all? That just sounds so ridiculously stupid.
[Oct 24,2008 9:02am - Josh_Martin ""]
Not to mention, there were tons of black rock perfomers who were huge among white audiences. Going back to Chuck Berry in 19fucking55.
