NeoConMan Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Not a fan of either clip to be honest, but Cray wins by a nose on tone. Blues + Strat = Back to the song, I'll paraphrase Mark Knopfler - "I don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band - it ain't what I call rock and roll." All the keyboard flourishes and the barking brass section cover up what I want to hear most - guitar. Moore's tone was too hot, shrill and thin for a Les Paul - why? Just not my taste at all. This is a glaring example of missing the boat, especially where blues is the objective. If that's the tone to go with, then get rid of all that other sh!t on the stage and ROCK OUT! Still too shrill and thin for me though. My vote goes to the fat boy from Texas, Buddy Whittington. THAT is what my idea of blues is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoConMan Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Nope. You said the magic words "active puke-ups" so I cannot view it on principle now.... I see a P-90 in the neck of the Tele-looking guitar, the Strat appears to have chrome mini-humbuckers. The Buddy Whittington tone is a winner - hands down.

Shnate McDuanus Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Robert Cray. It's the voice, man. Just dig it. There are other things about it that I prefer, but I think it's his voice that really gets me, and always has. Not that Gary's version is bad, but I think there's more soul in Robert's playing and singing. ...OK, Gary has him beat for hair length and funny guitar faces. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwness Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Buddy and Cray sounded so much better tone wise and vocals it;s not close. For another I don't respect the crook. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Actually, the tone in the second Gary Moore video is a bit warmer, but then another problem: the horns cover up his guitar! I could hardly hear Gary's playing over the horn section. And the drummer sounded like he was struggling a little in the beginning. But overall I thought it was pretty cool. Gary video #1: 8/10 Robert video: 9/10 Gary video #2: 8.5/10, but if the horns were less prominent it would be a solid 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
