Rabs Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hmmm... Im not quite sure what to make of that.. it was a bit of a mess if you ask me.. I appreciate hes trying to do something a little different.. But, hmm... it was like a blues/gospal/soul mix with some lead guitar thrown in but none of the aspects stood out which is why I think it sounded messy, it was more like they were fighting with each other. Maybe its just a track that needs a few listens.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CowboyBillyBob1 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I used to love Steve Vai but now he just kinda bores me. I'd rather listen to Keith Richards. Mr. Vai is a super player but my taste goes in cycles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 I think it's a fantastic version of a great old song. I'm glad to see Vai stretching out a little. I don;t think I would ever intentionally listen to Keef. I mean, he dosn't really play guitar does he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don;t think I would ever intentionally listen to Keef. I mean, he dosn't really play guitar does he? I like the Stones as much as the next guy, but I tend to favor bands with busy rhythm sections. That's why I get bored with a lot of blues stuff, and guitar music (Satriani, Vai, etc). Explains why I love Rush, Zeppelin, Van Halen (although Mikey wasn't really a "busy" bass player...But he filled up space!), Iron Maiden, Cream, Dream Theater, etc. When the whole band is on fire and the songs have great lyrical content, I'll listen!

Riffster Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 To me, that song (versions by Son House and Blind Willie Johnson) is not something you can better. But it is obvious he likes the song enough to try and make his mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's different than Rock music and Keef is by far one of the best RnR guitar players out there. He is an icon that has written so many fantastic songs covered by artists of all genres. He is not a virtuoso but to deny his huge contribution over the past 50 years is short sighted at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Van Halen (although Mikey wasn't really a "busy" bass player...But he filled up space!) [lol] You mean the king of the single eighth note rhythm? Thanks, I needed a good laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookieman15061 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I always loved the way Phil Keaggy did it. More of a Cream style but some great jamming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L42ZazGJyLA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Searcy Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Phil Keaggy is a true monster. Amazing version. Always liked the GOVT MULE version off Dose too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3oRidijMRk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
