Don't even try to defend Stevie Ray Vaughan, ILM -- tear his oeuvre/legacy apart and throw it to the dogs

(their show must be like dying and going to hell's own guitar store)

Another SRV bashing thread, same bullshit. Maybe if you spent half the time you do thinking up clever SRV insults as you do practicing on your guitar you might become half the player Stevie was. With that said, I will be hypocritical and defend SRV.

There are these guys that always have something bad to say about Stevie, like Stevie "had no soul" or "was not expressive" or "had no real talent" are obviously uneducated idiots that don't know jack shit about the blues or guitar playing for that matter. Mark my word "You will be the ones who never amount to shit playing guitar or in the music business".
If Stevie was such a meaningless guitar player then why did true blues guitarist like B.B. King, Albert King and Albert Collins respect him so much, play shows and sessions with him, and claim him as the "new blood" of blues guitar? Why do successful musicians like Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, all of ZZ Top (Billy Gibbons had SRV a guitar made as a gift) Lonnie Mack, and even Stevie Wonder consider him a best friend and one of the greatest guitar players ever, as they have said in many interviews? Would one of you fucking music geniuses answer that for me?
Sure Stevie’s music and style was influenced by Jimi, but just about what modern guitarist wasn't in some way or another? Shit, Jimi Hendrix influenced Stevie's early career wardrobe more than anything. If you were really listening you would hear Albert King's style influence more than Jimi Hendrix’s. If you don't think so then I dare you listen to the entire Albert King BluesPower/LiveWire album and then tell me who Stevie sounds like at least guitar solo wise? It's very naive and amateur to base Stevie's musical talent on his studio recorded albums, when his live performances truly demonstrated his amazing ability. I didn’t like Stevie’s version of “Voodoo Chile” slight return on “Couldn’t stand the weather” either, and you know what? Either did Stevie Ray Vaughan, he has said in a few interviews it sounded “over dubbed” and he felt it was missing the energy. But then watch the performance of it on Austin City Limits from 1983. It’s an incredible performance of the song. You can find it with almost any file-sharing service.

To DJ Mencap: Icarus Line are a bunch of Emo looking, no talent faggots, believe me I saw them in concert and they fucking suck.
Yeah it's real cool to fuck with Stevie's guitar, Aaron North did that because that is his only hope of getting any real publicity simply because their music is pure shit. Yeah the songs are really burning up the charts, I'm sure their careers and legacy will last, and they will be remembered forever, sure.

To Julio Desouza: You may be the dumbest fuck in here, you say "Makes me glad I haven't heard his music" yet you still hang around in here to bash him. Makes you feel like a big man, huh?

To Kris: Like anyone else, you are entitled to your opinion about his singing and playing, but to make an analogy comparing SRV to GG Allin is just redickless.

To nickalicious: I wouldn't go so far as to say SRV's cover of "Little Wing" is better, as it is always hard to surpass or approve upon an original, but SRV's cover was outstanding. I liked Pesci better in Goodfella's. Quote: "You, mudderfucker, you"

To Kenan Hebert: Obviously that Statue show's that the people in Austin appreciated him. Since you live in Austin why don't you let others in the area know how you feel about the spooging on the soul patch? You won't. Because you’re a fucking pussy who gets off by talking shit about Stevie on threads like this and you know that the musicians in Austin would tear you another asshole if they heard what you said you fucking hot shot. To think about shit like that shows how truly sick minded you are.

What a bunch of bunch of jackass, negative, fascists. In Instead of keeping your opinions and bitter jealousy of your under achievement to yourself you decide to bully others for what you don't have. You try to make others share the same feelings as yourself because that is the only thing you have in life to do. For a matter of fact this is a picture of what most of you assholes that are talking shit look like behind at your computer (Copy/Paste)

If you are all such great guitar players, why don’t you upload some links to, or make some MP3s of yourselves playing so that I and others can listen you play. I doubt you will because I sure you wouldn’t want your playing judged as you have judged Stevie’s.
All of you (except a few) can kiss my ass for getting me all worked about this shit today.

Sincerely,
SRVGoogler

I'm sorry, I mistook this as you getting annoyed when clearly you were meditating your hate away.

hey! i thought you wouldn't be back for the replies!

Shh, you're giving it away!

This thread *is* useful.

I don't really feel as much hate towards Stevie as some of the others in the guitar canon, but he doesn't strike me as anything special. I guess "Let's Dance" is kinda fun.

Shakey Mo, with a quote like that, you obviously wouldn't know a good performance even if it pissed in your face.

And my favorite Muddy Waters album is "Electric Mud".

I'm pretty sure Shakey Mo has seen eXtreme Elvis.

having never known much about, or heard SRV in my life I bought the live at montreux sets that came out. I've got a good interest in blues, I hate clapton, I've seen BB King and Buddy Guy play, and I have plenty of blues in my stacks of music but I wouldn't consider myself in ayway qualified to talk about.."the blues". Anyway I got the album because it was recommended to me as a Rory Gallagher fan. Stuck it on and I danced around (the house was empty). That's the only reaction I have, I don't have a critical reponse to make, or one based on interpretive history of the blues or whatever. I simply found that rhythm pretty good for playing loud and dancing round.

people here do like to make their digs, but it seems a pretty weak form of conversation on music to me.

at the same time fanboys frothing blood is equally wasteful.

so in summary:

SRV: fuck it, it can be fun.

i was kinda drunk at the time too

fun was had

mult. x-posts - Eric Clapton's new album is a set of Robert Johnson covers. I bet it's the worst thing released by a major label this year.

You, your dad, and the rest of you family jerking-off together around the statue. You have admitted that you are a real fudge packing, cock smoking, 100% Faggot. Have fun queer.

*sweats furiously*

Well, it's starting to bubble up. And how odd that he would assume that the figures were jerking off instead of pissing -- I almost sense jealousy!

It looks like they are whackin off out of jealousy of SRV to me also. Ned, Every post I read you always have some smartass remark. I'm tired of reading your bullshit, I know you are just a little bitch with nothing else to do. Let me know if you ever need your ass-kicked, I will gladly do it.

roll 2d6 damage

Here is something I learned Seventh-grade:

Raggett rhymes with Faggot
