Purple Haze?
omg. Well, I suppose it's better than time out.
Anyway the answer is, "yes, I care".
When Gilmour didn’t make the top 75 on their 100 all time best list, I refused to acknowledge the existence of that rag. 12 bucks?
12 dollars?
Guess I haven’t been buying many magazines since the Internet.
I glanced at that issue, and my impression was that they were lumping all guitarists together, whether they are great soloists like Hendrix, or riff players like Keith Richards and players like The Edge who do their best work in more of a supporting role. That being said, I would still take someone like David Gilmour who can convey the emotion of the song through a variety of techniques over some of those hotshot blazing fingers types more interested in playing lots of notes.
A while back someone having a RS subscription moved out of my neighborhood and did not leave a forwarding address at the PO. Knowing I love music, the postmistress asked if she should just give me his RS magazines. I said sure. After a couple of issues I realized I felt like I needed to take a shower every time I opened one. I told her just to throw them away after that. An absolute rag.

Adrian Belew! Adrian Belew! Adrian Belew!!
Bowie flew in Robert Fripp to play the original studio version of the song, Belew makes Fripp sound like he’s all thumz!!!
Pedestrianism, received wisdom, and so on. I watched some video on Youtube last night and saw Eric Clapton the Gawd, ya?, gaping with his mouth open at the guitar wizardry of none other than Vince Gill who was also on stage, and who is never on any lists that contain some Eddie Van Halens near the top. People want to impress their peers spouting the usual names, and exposing their own ignorance of what is happening on the music scene.
