From 1969 to 1975 Mick Taylor of the Rolling Stones was the greatest guitarist alive. Here is his greatest performance. Solos at 3:08 and 5:25. Jagger can't beleive what he is hearing and has reactions after each solo. It's performances like this why Keith Richards was so jealous of Taylor and was glad when he quit the band

No offense to Mr. Taylor, but I've heard better. He's just mimicking what blues guitarists have been doing for over 100 years here in America.

Blues guitarist have not been doing this for 100 years because 100 years ago it was all acoustic. People tend to think that the original version is always better and I don't beleive that. There are tons of cover songs that blow away the original. IMO, Taylor was the best and most important guitarist of the early 70s and this was his best performance. Again, my opinion.

OTOH we can all agree that Susan Tedeschi sucks

And I submit that bands like the Rolling Stones, Zepplin, the Beatles and virtually every other British invasion rock band hit it big in the mainstream by covering blues, soul and RnB artist. Rock is just blues played at a faster tempo.

Anything post Colony is shit.

Meh, just different. Love the first 4 but reroute to remain was a sick album as well.

And blues is an offshoot of 19th century gospel and virtually every great artist after 1967 acknowledges the Beatles as their primary influence.........so what. It's always been popular to say that Blues influenced rock, but who cares. In every endeavor what came before influences what came after.

The great phrasing and deft touch of Scofield here always inspires me. Dennis Chambers and Gary Granger are so tight.

Excuse the keytar, and just enjoy.

yet the Beatles, and most of the other English groups were influenced by the blues..Without the blues, there would be no R&R. Most of the early rock songs were nothing more than 12 or 16 bar blues with a slightly different feel

Van Halen, you really got me intro.

Was always more impressed with Eddie's Cathedral... thought the use of the volume knob was pretty cool at the time...

Ok, but so what. Some people in this thread act like the blues are better because it was first. I don't buy it. Better is better regardless of when it happened

 

[Raskolnikov]

this is their most expensive video, they spent ALOT to have dolphins when Slash rises out of the Ocean in the hurricane force winds. lol I nominate the solo at 8:06

We agree on that..Good is good, no matter who came first

Reroute is the album where their sound distinctly changed, it's when they decided to cash in. Clayman was the last album I bought of theirs, and that one was pretty weak, but no where near as bad as the rest that followed. I'll stick with At the Gates or Dark Tranquillity if I want a fix of the old Swedish melo death. And speaking of:
