yankeedoodlepigeon Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 We all have our era..but for me the 70,s was just a wonderfull decade for the development of Music. Weve had a Barby this afternoon and I had my old LP,s out and couldnt help sharing my top Guitarist from that era... Please no " Page would have buried him or so and so was better by far..." its not a competition those of us who grew as teenagers in that era just enjoy a truly brilliant Guitarists doing what he does wonderfully well.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSECQtF58BU Sounds like dire straits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Agree entirely Fisherman Mike; was only jesting with my previous post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Mike Posted August 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Sounds like dire straits Thats Probably because Knoffler was heavily infulenced by old Carlos.... One last one for you unfortunate 20 30 and 40 somethings........perhaps the greatest Bass Riff from the period the late great Ian Dury...record...must admit I thought they were naff until I saw them at the Hammersmith Odeon and after realised what great musicians they were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opDEoTZnrwg Edited August 23, 2012 by Fisherman Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caisterboy Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) Doctor Feelgood the best live band I saw in the 70's Wilko Johnson my favourite guitar player and nutter For a fellow fan a little extra treat courtesy of you tube They really were a great band live - Lee Brilleaux was a brilliant front man and greatly underrated - one of the best for me along with Bon Scott and Hugh Cornwall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jmIYyskDM8 Edited August 23, 2012 by Caisterboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Fisherman Mike - I think Ernie was brilliant on the 1973 - album 3 + 3. Definitely in the 70's. The NME described him as easily the technical equal of Jimmy Hendrix - nuff said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitebridges Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 For a fellow fan a little extra treat courtesy of you tube They really were a great band live - Lee Brilleaux was a brilliant front man and greatly underrated - one of the best for me along with Bon Scott and Hugh Cornwall The Stranglers, Dr Feelgood and AC/DC (with the late great Bon Scott) , played regularly at West Runton Links Pavillion (North Norfolk (not for your benefit Caisterboy) ) in the mid/late 1970's. All awesome bands in their own way. Halcyon days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caisterboy Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I could never call myself a musical purist and though i can appreciate how technically good the guitarists mentioned are and were, it was always the one's that had a "special noise" that i went for - Wilko, Angus Young, SRV, George Thorogood & Steve Jones all did it for me - not technically brilliant but instantly recognisable each and every one - and dont get me started on Joe Satriani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 He may be a total ******** now, but in his day he could play a guitar. Guitar solo starts at around 1:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that's actually lost I reckon on digital vs vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
