Phil Collins vs Peter Gabriel

Phil Collins was famous because he's dead sexy.

 

Are you serious right now? Was like a plumber decided to sing rock music.

 

You're not taking into account the Hounslow charm.

 

Some good ‘Heartbeat’ songs there from Ye and the other laddies. Another is Buddy Holly’s* ‘Heartbeat’.

*Here, in Scoatland, we pronoounce ‘Holly’ as ‘WHOLE-EE’.

 

I spent my evening first reading about the making of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. Then listening to a out ten songs on it. Then watching a four part interview with the five band members on the album.

This will never be my kind of music and a concept double album is something you have listen to quite a few times. So far I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I like Peter Gabriel 's voice and some of the songs I have heard were quite good.

 

Bennett, what about the time Phil Collins teamed up with your boy, Eric Clapton?

 

Terrible

That was all the 'Prince's Trust' dogshit that was going off in the late 1980s-90s: Clapton, Collins, Sting, Dire Straits, etc

 

Thoae chick had nice asses

 

Good song. Reminds me when I was a kid

 

I heard that song on the radio when it came out and I knew it wasn't Genesis (by the lack of Tony Banks sounds.) But I heard those licks and was like "Goddamn. Who's Phil Collins' guitar player. He may want to go solo or with his own band soon." Saw the video shortly after and that explained it.

 

Eric Clapton: cdogg187´s most hated guitarist ever

 

I wouldn’t go that far

But the plaudits he’s received over the years, mostly from rock critics who have zero musical knowledge are totally outrageous

 

Clapton is God" is a mid-1960s slogan referencing Eric Clapton, then-guitarist for the Yardbirds and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers. The phrase originated in the form of graffiti spray-painted by an unknown admirer on a wall in Islington, London in 1965 or early 1966.
Soon after, the proclamation could be seen scrawled at numerous spots around London, such as on club bathroom walls and construction sites.

 

Exactly

absolute insanity ... he’s the third best guitarist in the Yardbirds

 

Beck
Page
Clapton

That dog lnew the score...

 

Agree with that order but the most creative, interesting player of the three was Page

But for technique, Beck was definitely the best ... his problem was he wasn’t a composer... he pretty much wasted his talent on mostly bad music ... great style, totally unique and great to hear but he made exactly one record that holds up to repeated listening (Blow by Blow) and even that has some throwaways

 

What about Steve Vai? Was he good?

 

What Steve Vai does is physically demanding and requires lots of practice so your hands can go really really fast

But since the end product of all that practice is absolutely artless garbage, nobody but other like-minded cretins who think music is a video game gives even the slightest fuck

I wouldn’t walk 30 feet to hear Steve Vai play

Shred guitar is anti-music, to me

 

Jimmy Page could never execute the various arpeggio sweeps, rapid fire alternate picking “licks”, hammer-ons, pull-offs that are featured in every Steve Vai “song” ever ... not in a million years... but Jimmy Page is about 10,000 times more compelling as a guitarist because he is (or at least was in his heyday) full of ideas, he was a musician whereas Vai is just a guitarist

 

is playing with an electric drill the ultimate faggotry?

 

100%

People who go "WOWWWWW! AMAZING GUITARIST!!"

Then give a puzzled look when you ask them "But what about the tunes - can you name any?"

Vai is dogshit.

 

I view Jimi Hendrix more as a musician or sound-maker far more than a 'technically accomplished' guitar player...

 

Absolutely

 

Lol YES

 

Another annoyingly shit 'trick' Steve Vai does: making his guitar talk/laugh using the wah-wah effect.

Fucking stupid and...Double Retard probably loves it.

Vai...Satriani...Malmsteen...Gilbert...Dimebag...all these wankers need liquidating.

Oh wait.
Dimebag's been liquidated already.


Dimebag Darrell?
Die!mebag Darrell, more like!!!!

AmIRite????

 

Yeah, they have talk boxes if you want to be a faggot and say “are you ready, Cincinnati???!” through your guitar... totally pointless and needlessly fussy trying to do that with your wah pedal when all it sounds like is “wah-wah” no matter what you do to it

 

Steve Vai?

Steve DIE! morelike

AMIRITE?

 

Is that the one famous in the mid-1970s...Peter Frampton, Jeff Beck, Joe Walsh, Jeff Baxter, etc?

 

Yes ... I think the only time I ever heard it used with any degree of taste is “Haitian Divorce” (Dean Parks but with Walter Becker making the mouth shapes... the only case I know of one guy playing the guitar while the other guy operates the box)

 

It still sounds funny/shit
