That's really very good
Except that it is by no means their own composition but rather a "reworking" of Time Of Your Life from Dirty Dancing.

Just take a minute to think about that.

No because I'm not impressed with overly pretentious language
to describe a song I haven't heard and even if I did I would at most ignore it not spend half an hour acting like it's a personal insult like the rest of you pricks do at least 3 times a week.

I have to say, I'm a big fan of the 'peas.

But the fact is that it's absolutely true. The song would be shit anyway, and represents all that is wrong with creativity-devoid modern pop, but as a cover version it's beyond the pale. Cover something BAD!!! Abba is right there for the raping!

Well at least they haven't tried to ruin
a tune that wasn't already shit, unlike their efforts with Misirlou by Dick Dale. It's like when Puff Daddy made a tune interpolating The fucking Police: not a problem. Start fucking with Kashmir and I get upset.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:28, Reply)

What's hardest to believe about the latter
is, if my sources are reliable, he managed to convince Pagey to play guitar on that abomination.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:31, Reply)

Yes he did
It was billed as "Puff Daddy feat. Jimmy Page", as opposed to the more accurate "pathetic covers artist Sean Combs somehow allowed anywhere near the godlike presence of Jimmy Page"
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:35, Reply)

Well, I don't know if I'd go so far as to call Page 'godlike'
But I'd certainly rate his musical merit and influence a lot higher than that of Mr Coombs.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:36, Reply)

As guitarists go, he takes some beating
Although I may have overegged the pudding slightly. I'm intrigued to know which musicians you would confer an honourary deity's title to, like some cheap polytechnic masquerading as a university who wanted Stephen Fry to dignify their existence with his presence but could only get Nick Hancock
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:38, Reply)

I love his records but he's actually quite a sloppy, scratchy player.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:41, Reply)

For my own ha'porth
Guitarists: Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Alan Mostert (Quintessence)
Edit: I agree with Monty's point above - the man could play, but he was a chronic widdler with a second-rate guitar tone. For that style of playing I prefer Ritchie Blackmore, and the guitarists I've chosen are the ones who could really make the thing sing.

Keyboards/Piano: Oscar Peterson, McCoy Tyner, possibly Ray Manzarek
Drums: Moon, Baker, Mitchell, John Densmore, Gene Krupa, Buddy Rich
Bassists: John Entwistle, Lemmy, JPJ, possibly Geddy Lee, Monk Montgomery, Stan Clarke and that bloke Lianne Carroll's married to

Buddy Rich was superb when he went on The Muppet Show

Have you seen their drum-off?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:45, Reply)

Booker T Jones surely must make your keyboard list, no?

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:44, Reply)

A very good point.
This list is by no means exhaustive and mostly derived from a quick scroll through the albums on my work hard drive. (I am still debating whether to include Ian Paice in the drummers list.)
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:47, Reply)

Drums: Danny Carey, Josh Freese, Dave Grohl, Joey Castillo, Brian Viglione

You are right about Blackmore. That man knew how to play.

Page is great, but for the ideas rather than the technicality of it
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:47, Reply)

How much Santana have you heard?
If you only know the famous stuff then I'd be a little surprised but would understand. If you still hold that opinion after hearing Caravanserai (or at least Song of the Wind from the same) then I will be forced to furrow my eyebrows in a very suspicious fashion.

Their first LP is amongst my favourite records ever
and their performance of 'Soul Sacrifice' at Woodstock remains the only drum solo I have ever heard that didn't make me want to die.

But he is quite 'safe', technically, I grant you.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:55, Reply)

I really, really rate Billy Gibbons.
Also Wilko Johnson, Wayne Kramer, Jeff Beck, Steve Cropper and even for sheer precision and aggression Johnny Ramone.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 7 Dec 2010, 16:52, Reply)

Apparently Wilko is still touring
A friend of mine admitted he'd been trying to muscle his way into playing harp for him. Doesn't look like he had much luck on that front.

You're in good company there.
I can think of few guitarists who I've similarly admired for their ability to play the instrument but still though most of their recorded output was risible shit. (And he does come across as a total helmet.)
