It's just in one bit she's putting so much into the voal that her voice breaks - not for the purists, I suppose, but top stuff all the same.

Cracking album, indeed.  

Last album that Jones was on also

The Stones were best when 'raw', after the Some Girls album they were never the same, it took me months to be able to listen to the Tatto You 'dance' album

Exactly, it's why I would want to see them in the Crawdaddy club!!

Isn't Petrucci in the latest G3 concerts, Argento?

They'll be out on DVD, I would think - not as good, but I'll take it!!

John Miles. I'd forgotten him but listened to Nice Man Jack last night. Cool.

Did anybody see the Sevilla concerts in 92 - there were blues nights, jazz nights and heavy metal nights ?

[monza gorilla]

I may even have some of it on video. Must go and look.

My Dad still has it on video - it's criminal that it's never been released commercially

John Petrucci from Dream Theater is one of the best there is...

I was hoping G3 with him in would be passing through here (UK), but I don't think it will

They are in my town (Perth) on December 8 and Mike Portnoy is drumming with them too...

I believe the phrase rhymes with astard!!     Especially as you get the Joe, Steve & John line up too  


I saw G3 with Joe, Steve & Robert Fripp.  Fripp's set was a bit weird and boring, if I am honest, but when he joined the other 2 for the finale he was much better.  Good concert.

[Argento Reloaded]

And what about Jaco Pastorious? I think he was the best bass player on earth.
I also like Pat Metheny and Chick Corea. The other day I saw a video called "Live under the sky". It´s a live jazz show in Japan and Herbie Hanc#ck and Chick Corea played a two piano piece...excellent!

Steve 'guitar' Miller

I can't argue with anybody's choices so far, but Miller deserves a double-hit

Here's a few that weren't mentioned by anyone yet:

Charro (don't laugh, she's quite an impressive guitarist)
Lindsay Buckingham
Prince
Joe Walsh
William Faith (Faith and the Muse)
June Carter
Jake Williams (Jake E. Lee)

Geez, not heard of him for ages, Bruce.  My Dad used to have a track by him that was really, really long....trying to think what it was called.  Don't think I ever heard anything other than this track by him.  Going to put my thinking cap on.

He went a bit doolally didn't he ?

Edit:  Had to ring my brother - we think it was called Come on Up (My Dad didn't write the name down from wherever he got it   ), but my brother reminded me that he did Cat Scratch Fever too - forgotten about that.

Cat Scratch Fever! I still have that on 45.

Also I must mention Robin Trower and Mick Grabham of Procol Harum. Excellent. (in a Monty Burns voice)

Roy Buchanan
Mick green - from the pirates, also did the McCartney tour with Dave Gilmour
All the Kings - BB, Albert & Freddie
George Thorogood

A friend of mine, I knew a while back, was pretty good on the guitar and I used to go watch him play most weekends.  I have a cracking version (well I think it is   ) of I loved Another Woman, but it's on minidisc.  I'll have to get it onto my PC, but it's quite a raw recording so I don't know how well it will work.

Just found out after a bit of searching, Bruce, that it's called Stranglehold - typical of my Dad to write the wrong song title down!!

  respect for that choice. probably the most under rated musician out there. he practically carried most of the modern Fleetwood mac through....his guitar style is very unique...

and for my personal favourite, I like Mark Knopfler, most of the guitarists mentioned above can play better solos in their sleep than knopfler, but when it comes to playing the intrument beautifully and making music come alive using the strings, knopfler has few equals...

Django Reinhardt for showing us all what the blues guitar can be...

Mike Campbell of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is really good live on stage....

Big hair, awesome live album and that 'voice vox box thing'. Frampton Comes alive; Do you feel like i do?

[monza gorilla]

Never did like Frampton much. Just never inspired me.

What a misery. Let me guess, it's either the smell of fibre glass that's getting you down or you have been listening to Cohen too much?

Think you're being a tad harsh there, to be honest.  When you look back at some of the stuff he's done, I mean the guy can play and he doesn't go over the top just for the sake of doing it.

Personally, as I said earlier, I think when he plays mellow, or beautifully as you put it, then there's few that can touch him.  His latest CD with Emmylou Harris is very good, in my opinion.

yes thats what I meant, no over the top solos just for the sake of having one in the song. All his guitar work is blended nicely into his songs. If you really like him you should listen to some of his soundtrack work, local hero, cal metroland, all very very nice!
