Yeah, they're fun but they're also hated by the powers that be. btw you sould start one on your own.

Stevie had soul, because he put his soul into his playing. He gave it everything he got when he played.

yes^, Johnny's good, no denying that, but Stevie was his guitar and his music

Read a good book about SRV (can't recall the title right now), he really came up the hard way, and he used VERY heavy strings on his guitar. When he was doing 3 shows a night, early in his career, sometimes he would play the skin right off his fingers. He would take super glue and put a drop on his arm, and place his cut finger on it, and rip the skin onto his finger, so he could continue to play(!).

hmmm one generic blues rocker

or

another who tried his damnedest to be a funkless hendrix.

i vote johnny's brother as cooler than both guitarists put together.

If you're criticizing them respectively, I don't think you can call SRV just another "generic blues rocker."
