SRV= groovy fucker

[Von Halen]

Bad motherfucker!

[ELVIS]

Wasted...

Ghey.

Vaughn's playing was highly derivative and thoroughly boring. Ask Robin Trower, Frank Marino or any other Hendrix-cloning buttfucker who came before him.

Vaughn would be how you spell my first name, dumbass. Stevie Ray's last name is spelled Vaughan.

[Seshmeister]

Wasted...

That's the most impressive thing about it.

[Kristy]

Like I fucking give a shit, closet trash.

So when I hit up the "show your work" thread, I'll find samples of your playing style which is derivative of no one? I mean, c'mon already.

So SRV was rooted in the Hendrixian blues. BFD. Toasted or sober, he put on one hell of a show.

[wolfsbane]

Not a bad performance. 86-88 were rough years for him.


BTW, who isn't derivative? 99% of music is derivative.

[Kristy]

Stevie was 100% derivative.

I used to see concerts at Alpine Valley, the place SRV died. I wasn't a big fan of his but he could play the guitar pretty damn good. I liked some of his Hendrix covers but his original stuff wasn't my cup of tea.

[vandeleur]

SRV was amazing live , yeah he didn't invent rock n roll but sure could play it .

I do believe he pushed the envelope with the bohemian ear spoon , check some of his stuff out ,well ahead of the curve .

I'd say Vaughan's playing was highly (like, REALLY highly) derivative.

But I like(d) listening to him just the same.

I would say others tend to overrate him a bit too highly for my tastes, but he played the blues so well. At least SRV played the blues fast, unlike, say, B.B. King.

Now, B.B. King is a blues player who is boring as fuck. So many say it's some kind of taboo to say anything non-complimentary about B.B. King, but his playing bores me shitless. 90% of Eric Clapton's does, too.

But I liked SRV's stuff, particularly when he was drinking heavily and using cocaine. After he sobered up, his playing got a little bit too stiff for my liking. Texas Flood and Couldn't Stand The Weather are two good albums.

Also, fuck Paul McCartney.

[Seshmeister]

Forever I've wondered that Clapton and particularly BB King doing nothing for me was my failing or just an emperors new clothes situation.
