Tom Morello solo: The Nightwatchman

hagmanm2

Anyone listened to any of this stuff? I really enjoy the One Man Revolution album (2007).

It's all politically charged so I'm sure it'll rub some people the wrong way. Regardless, I love Morello's diversity. From Cypress Hill to this... with a couple other bands in between.

Perhaps my favorite on the album: "The Garden of Gethsemane"

Sounds interesting ... I'm a big Rage fan, so this should be interesting.

did not know morello was with cypress hill.

must look for that

I just realized how misleading throwing cypress hill in with all those other bands is. *collaborated with Cypress* was *in* the others.

So your better then JP??? I would bet not..:rolleyes: Overrated along with Eddie Van Halen, Slash, and the list can go on and on.... There will always be someone better in someone elses eyes but that does not make them overrated...

Your post's mean nothing on who is great good or ok in your opinon.it's music,entertainment. nothing more nothing less..

I guess Prince is overrated as well??

Almadacr

Well i never heard any guitar player saying that they were influence by Jimmy Page , but by the Led Zepplin music and please don`t put Eddie mixed with slash , i really like is music ( slash) don`t get me wrong but as a guitar player he is not a influence for guitar players .

Among the guitar player influences are guys like Jimi Hendrix , SRV , Muddy waters , Yngwie Malmsteen or Eddie Van Halen , Eric clapton , Jeff Beck but Jimi Page is more known as a influence from a certain page in history with Led Zepplin . One thing i can tell you John Bonham as more influence for drummers out there than jimi and is technics on guitar , i`ve being playing guitar in the last 30 years play all sort of music except jazz .

There are great guitar players out there but to get them as a influence takes more then a combination of cords . And by the way , if you reed guitar magazines like i do , they all say that jimi Page is a bad fingerpicking guitar player PS: Its not me stating it just what it was wrote in several professional guitar magazines .

PS: and if you want to take that road i never said i was better or worst but one thing i can tell you , i can play all Led zepplin songs note by note , that argument is childish . When you say that Tom Morello is good i understood that you don`t have any Knowledge what so ever in guitar technics .

Almadacr

Also If you read some professional guitar magazines like Guitar player , guitar world or guitar one they all say that JP is a bad fingerpicking player , this is not my statement but from professional magazines .

Let`s move on to other things .

Toolfan66

Well at least we all now know your a god among gods, and everything written is the gods given truth in a guitar magazine.

I think it's great you can play guitar but your attitude towards other peoples skills on how they don't play to your standards overshadows the fact that I could give a rats **** how good you think you are.

Fact: they have all written great music and have inspired many kids to pick up a guitar and play, I don't see them sitting around a fourm page talking about how this guy and that guy are just OK,and telling someone they don't know crap about playing a guitar just to make them selfs feel superior on a puplic fourm page. Nope they have much more class then that..

Peace!!

Almadacr

Grow up , you my have more than 5000 post`s but s you still sound like a kid . Diden`t you were told when to stop . You were the first one that brought the conversation to the forum . don`t judge others for your arrogant attitude . I`m done with you for this matter my brain feels blunt.

Fongolio

Page was a brilliant innovator. I'm with Toolfan here Amadacr, you're coming off sounding smug and holier than thow. Perhaps YOU need to tone it down a bit. By the way welcome to the forum.

Almadacr

Thanks Fongolio But what i said before and explained was very simple , i think the music of " Led Zepplin " changed the way we listen music even changed a hole way we listen Rock and roll , but my point i never said that jimi page was/is a bad player Like i stated professional magazines said he was a bad fingerpinking that is a playing style regarding is style of playing and watching the DVD from from 1999 it can be seen and only there since that day i consider JP a bit overrated that was it .

This was supposed to be a friendly discussion i made my point this is my opinion no one needs to go behind a statement "so you better than JP " .

Punk music was a great influence to heavy metal music but beside Johnny Ramone can anyone remember another punk guitar player from the 70`s ??

This started with a healthy discussion let`s keep it that way .

Habs rules

And I thought you said you wanted to keep it a friendly discussion. On this point I know you are wrong. Last time I checked (today) it is in fact the Canucks that rule. The stats don't lie.

Here's a vote for Alex Lifeson of Rush. I actually met his mom and sister...really nice folks. And he happened to be a fan of the band I was in at the time.

hagmanm2

Almadacr, I find your comments to be just a tad bit snobbish. It's annoying to hear people bash or disregard something simply because of it's popularity or notoriety: in this case Jimmy Page. Really? You've never heard ANYONE cite page as an influence?

I won't bother referencing artist after artist trying to convince you that you're wrong. Your opinion is based on your personal feelings, which makes it more a conviction rather than a valid argument. And making general, sweeping statements about Page is a foolish way to prove your point.

My suspicion is you haven't heard anyone say it simply because you weren't listening. Based on your comment, I only need provide you with one person to prove you're wrong:

John Gills (Jack White - White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather, ) has stated on several occasions that Page was/is a heavy influence on his music. Gills is an extremely talented guitarist (but hey, I'm sure I'm wrong about that as well). Look at his influences, look at his critical reviews, look at his collaborations: Page helped get him where he is. Go watch "It Might Get Loud."

If you don't believe me (and I don't expect you to), then look it up yourself. Read. Listen. You may just find some appreciation while you're at it.

Almadacr

Yes i saw " it might get Loud " also with David Howell Evans also known as "the edge" and i think you misunderstood that from 2 of them there influences comes from the old blues school .

@ ROHfan , Alex Lifeson great guitar player + rush great band saw them last year here in MTL , when they made the documentary that is passing in tresure HD in Canada

@ Fongolio let`s wait till the playoffs

Guys have a great superbowl .

"You know, my heroes were the English guys – Paul Kossoff, Peter Green, Eric Clapton. There’s so many - there’s Gary Moore, Rory Gallagher – another Irishman who played the same things, but don’t tell him that. But those guys were my guys – Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page. There’s a certain sophistication to their approach to the blues that I really like, more so than the American blues that I was listening to. B. B. King’s a big influence – he’s probably my biggest traditional influence. I love Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and T-Bone Walker and stuff like that, but I couldn’t sit down… I was always forcing myself to listen to whole records by them, where I’d rather listen to Humble Pie do "I'm Ready" than Muddy Waters, you know? I think, the English interpretation of the blues just hit me a lot better, you know?"

I love Gary Moore i love is work solo or with Thin lizzy , but you are spot on when Jimi Hendrix went to England he was really surprised with the Blues culture in England .

Almadacr

Sad news indeed RIP.
