Nowadays radio mainly thrives on pop songs and/or what's the "new thing", ya see!!!

I'd recommend you to call your house a "radio" for a day and invite some friends over...play whatever bands inspire you, maybe even try "shuffle" if you choose!!!I guarantee you you'll have much more fun than waiting for 1 or 2 good songs to come out of an hours worth of pop/hits on the radio!!!

And on your final statement-That doesn't prove to the world that he's (dave) the better guitarist because you think he shows more "emotion"!!!That's only shows that you think he's better, therefore showing your opinion only, got it?Nice talkin though, cheers!!!

Yes, I suggest you take another look at my post. I agree with you that I think he's better, which is why I wrote in my opinion before writing it.

Actually SRV is one of the slower guitar masters. None of his solos are that fast, mostly because blues rock isn't fast obviously. I think SRV's cover of voodoo child is much better than hendrix's original. If you've ever seen SRV live/dvd you'd know he puts every once of himself in the song.

I actually have seen a DVD of him performing, one of my friends is a big fan of his, and I can see that he's putting physical energy into his playing, but none of it comes out in the music for me. When it comes down to it, it's different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Well, I have expressed my views on SRV before, so I won't go into it again.
It's in here somewhere.

I will say this, though. To those who say he wasn't innovative, that's a fair enough point. But then again, what blues guitarist is? The blues has been the same twelve chord progression for nearly a century. There are several different interpretations and flavors, but at it's roots, blues has remained unchanged for nearly one hundred years. Robert Johnson, Elmore James, Hudie Ledbetter (a.k.a.Leadbelly), Son House, Howlin' Wold, Sonny Boy Williamson, and company, those guitartist were the innovators, not anyone from after, say, 1940 or so. They took the hymns and and songs the slaves sang, and put a guitar to them. That was innovative. Everything since those greats, like I stated before, are simply variations.

Blues is a state of mind, an emotion. If the emotion doesn't reach you, then for you, it's not exciting. That doesn't mean it's not good blues music. There are people who think Clapton is the greatest blues guitarist ever. For me, he's doesn't crack the top ten. I always found him to be forced and trite. But that's because I simply don't feel Clapton's emotion. I won't be like the people who like to come into these threads with no other purpose but to say "he sucks". It serves no purpose.

SRV, on the other hand, speaks to me. I feel the notes, I get something from it. I am confident in saying I am probably the biggest SRV fan in here. I'm also fairly certain I've been a fan longer than most, seeing as how I'm twice the age of most people here. I own all his releases, and an handful of things he didn't release. 'Live Alive' has been mentioned a few times. I own a bootleg of a live show on a Riverboat down in New Orleans. Oh, man. Smokin'!!! I also own SRV live at Carnegie Hall, with a full brass section.
Now that's a rich sound. My favorite live recording I have of SRV, though, is called 'In Session'. It's Stevie, and his biggest influence, Albert King, in a studio, with a couple of guitars, a couple of mikes, a bass guitarist and a drummer. Live, no dubbing, not mixing, nothing. Just pure energy. Awesome.

Yes, I know you said something along the lines of "In Your Opinion!!!"As much as you like Dave though, still doesn't prove to the whole world that he's better, understand now?

Your opinion is yours and my opinion is mine, End Of Discussion!!!

I never said I was proving to the whole world that David Gilmour was a better guitarist. I'm not sure how you got that impression...but whatever you say, boyo, end of discussion.

That is quite possibly the most preposterous thing I've read on this forum yet.

SRV's playing was absolutely saturated with emotion. David Gilmour's style is much different; much slower. Slower lead guitar playing is consistently appraised as being 'emotional', while the faster guitar players are regarded as 'colourless' and 'dull'. Stevie's guitar playing is just as emotional as Mr. Gilmour's, it's just a vastly divergent style.

I wish I was as fast as he was. He may have boring songs. But listening to Jibboom makes me shiver with jealousy! I must agree with people that his music isn't fun to listen to. But I'd like to add ''regularly'' to that. Because once in a while I love to watch movies of him, where you can see him loving his guitar so much, you'd think he'd have an orgasm!

And of course, I'm jealous of his wonderfull collection of guitars. /drool
