Quote from: white boy aka Christopher Columbus on March 05, 2005, 08:19:44 AM^ i dont agree nor repect your opinionsOf course you don't. Tell me, how many albums by the bands I listed did you actually hear?Second of all, how much trouble do you have playing Jimmi Page's riffs? I pretty much have no trouble. And funny thing is, I'm probably the worst guitarist ever. If you want music that needs at least 10 times as much talent as Led Zeppelin, and is more creative - you know, without ripping off Leadbelly's riffs - you should hear New Millennium Cyanide Christ by Meshuggah.

You admit you're a shitty guitar player, and then judge how good a guitar player is, by how hard it is to duplicate his riffs. That's not what makes a good guitarist. A good guitarist only needs to be competant, the talent lies in creativity, not in how fast or hard you can play. Here's a little analogy, since I'm sure you don't agree with me... but you're about to.Lessay you have a car, it can go 120 miles an hour, no problem.. but it's a piece of shit Yugo. Your neighbor has a car that can go 150 miles an hour, no problem, and it's a fuckin' FERRARI. Nice car, beautiful. Your neighbor on the other side, has a car that can go 200 miles an hour! It's shaped like a fuckin' turd, has a 5 foot wing on the back of it, and has room for 1 person to sit in it!Which car would you want, asswipe?

And so is the "Eminem Show". Eminem is the 2nd greatest musical artist in history behind 2pac.I'll post up some Eminem lyrics from those albums later, and we can compare them to "He Loves You Ya! Ya! Ya!" and get the same results. Are you kidding me?2Pac and Eminem are superior to Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Chuck Berry, Elvis Prestley, Prince, Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Ray Vuaghan, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Marvin Gaye, Bob Dylan, etc...?You sir, are a fucking jokehave poor taste in music. (It was immature of me to comment on his specific character instead of the topic at hand.Elvis? Come the fuck on. He's the definition of overrated shit and should not be taken seriously. Besides, there are more than enough bands/musicians in modern day music that could easily be considered as good - if not, better - than most on that list. It's the legendary status of those artists they got because of the time they started.Like, let's say, Led Zeppelin. Pretty cool band, but for Christ's sake, how fucking overrated can a band get? On every aspect, if I may add. They weren't that original - a lot of their riffs are ripped off from older blues riffs. They weren't that talented (Jimmy Page is not one of the greatest guitarists of all time, influential, I guess, but my God, he's not the most talented. The bass is fairly simple and Robert Plant's singing was just good. John Bonham, now that's talent). One song dragged on for too much time. Kashmir was fun, then the second minute of the song started and you'll start to lose interest.Meshuggah, Slint, My Bloody Valentine, Opeth, Black Flag, Sonic Youth, Bad Brains, Joy Division, all belong on that list as much as most bands on that list do.Did you get dropped on your head? You can't figure the difference between music you LIKE, and music that's TALENT.

hes a joke... just like trauma said
elvis was not a good guitar player by any means, ive only been playing guitar for 2 years and im better and know more about guitars than he did. elvis only knew how to play three chords himself, some of his songs have more, but they we played by back up guitarists and added in to make him look more talented. hes a joke... just like trauma said and this is coming from an oldies lover.... what can i say, its a guilty pleasure
Hey The New Pollution;Music is subjective. Get over it okay. Just because the bands you like aren't as highly regarded as bands like Zeppelin doesn't mean you have to go on all these tirades. Okay, so Petrucci can do things with an instrument that Page can't, big deal. Page manages to touch people with his music. Keep in mind that it was the people that made Zeppelin huge, not the record companies. Their highest selling album saw almost on AM radio play (which was the chosen frequency of the day), and didn't even have their band name on it. Bands like that get spread around by the people. Zeppelin, Metallica, Sabbath, Velvet Underground, The Doors and bands like that get passed around by their fans and that creates more fans, and all of a sudden they become legends. These bands had a kind of magic in their songs and performances, or a they brought a new sound to the music table. Most of the guys you named so far aren't much more than Randy Rhodes rip offs. These guys have great technical skills and not much else. They lack the intangible element that makes legends. This doesn't mean they aren't good, but good is relative. You have to understand that.
