Which is odd because if anyone should be hammered for borrowing its clapton.

SRV was emotion, you can't argue that he stole, whatever he played he was feeling, and maybe that emotion is universal but its not stealing, it was him. SRV was ****ing amazing.

No music is completly original. It is all influenced by others. It should not be refered to as stealing. I like boo boo's use of the word "borrowing" much better.

I think that BB just thinks that clapton is a good musician.

I like SRV, Ugly bastard though.

I'm mainly refering to how Page is called a "thief" even though many of the musicians he aledgedly stole from do the exact same thing.

I just think that elitist blues fans and antiquity whores have their way with double standards.

I see where you are coming from.

To call page a thief is silly since he added so much to music. He practically invented the guitar army sound and got some of the best drum sounds of all time. Zeppelin stretched what was permitted in pop music.

Nice to see the youngans so keen on the blues.
I think you do underestimate the importance of Hendrix.
Remember that he did what he did before 1970.
What Hendrix did on the guitar nobody had ever done before. It was a revolution.
He stands alone as the greatest influence in rock guitar ever.

I saw an interview with Eric Clapton and he said he almost gave up the guitar after seeing SRV play,he said"what's the point knowing there is someone like SRV out there"True story.

As much as I love SRV and as great of a talent as he is, not a great song writer or particularly interesting artist. Sort of leaves a bland taste in your mouth so to speak.

I agree although I don't love his work either. His version of 'Little Wing' however is absolutely phenomenal.
