I had the pleasure of having a drink, lol a few drinks with Joe back in the mid 80's. Besides being a rock icon. Joe is one of the nicest, funniest guys to hang with. I envy those who are a friend of his. He treated me better than some of my very own relatives') Love the man!
In the Eagles' "Hell Freezes Over" concert, and the album that followed, both Walsh and Don Felder really showed their stuff. For Felder, "Hotel California" and "Get Over It" showcased his solo talents.
@@SEKreiver BTW, in case you are unaware, Page has now got his Black Beauty back. In this clip the chap says Page set the guitar down on stage and that was the last he saw of it. But I have always understood the disappearance to have happened at an airport. The latter sounds more plausible. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dwxOzbnaIrk.html
What I don’t get is Allman, Walsh and Felder never make GOAT top 20 lists. They’re all on mine. I saw a top 100 list here on YT recently and they weren’t on it.
🖕🏾 those lists. Don't need anyone telling me what is good. Music is like women. You can't help what makes your toe tap! Some like blondes, some like brunettes. Some skinny, some fat. Some white, some brown.. It's art. Picasso was famous, but I'm not a fan. I like Norman Rockwell.
All those lists have nothing to do with great guitar playing at all, for example Kurt Cobain is in most lists, he never ever played real guitar solo, here and there he played some melody on the guitar, these lists have more to do with famous guitar players who play guitar in famous bands, so you'll find on those lists some really great guitar players and some lousy guitar players in the form of Kurt Cobain who did with Nirvana only one great album in all his career, the album is Nevermind who sold like 30 million albums worldwide making the album the best selling album of the grunge era and by that making Nirvana famous and Kurt Cobain famous, he was a lousy guitar player but he wrote very simple and catchy songs, you can ask people who make these lists of GOAT guitarists or Goat vocalists, it's always the same, it's all about famous names, most of these lists are ridiculous and are considered as a bad joke, take it easy and stop relating to those silly lists, no one on earth can say for sure who is the best guitar players of all times!!!
As noted already, George learned slide from Delaney Bramlett, likely when George joined the Delaney & Bonnie tour group for dates in the UK and Europe. It was Harrison who turned Clapton onto that band when Eric was looking for an opener for the Blind Faith tour. Bramlett was also responsible for kick starting Clapton's solo career, by convincing him to step up as a singer and do his own thing. Clapton's debut solo album is essentially a D&B album with Eric singing. And, of course, Derek & the Dominos was the rhythm section from D&B's band.
