Heavy Metal ping!
“Duane Allman sucked as a guitarist. Hate to say that about a dead man - but he was God-awful....”
Guess you never heard “Blue Sky.”
Well here’s Alex Lifeson from earlier this summer. A short version of La Villa Stranglato (good quality):

Live he used a Gibson though right? The double neck?
But you really want to hear something--find the Rolling Stones playing in Hawaii 1966, the last show of their US tour. Brian Jones on Satisfaction when the song was till fresh will tear into you and leave you in a slobbering heap on the floor. You will then remember why the Rolling Stones were tagged the "Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World"
Where do you find that track? Search the net, It was recorded by KPOI Radio at the time.
Let me know whether or not you received the first “ping.”
An average Frank Zappa guitar solo blows away most of those.
Nope - but I'll even give Duane another chance...when I run into it, I'll give it a listen..
That was something special.
Try the Allmans in the 1970 period. There is a lot of live stuff out there on the net. Dreams, Elizabeth Reed, etc....
Thank You. Not the normal crowd to admit it..
Sorry but you two are barking up the wrong tree.
The SOLO in ‘My Sharona’ is excellent - creative, varied and frenzied. So good they even did a key change and a different rhythm figure for it!
Unfortunately, they did a horrid job of editing the full-length track down for radio purposes and many people have not heard the proper solo in its entirety.
No famous lead breaks to his credit, but he is good.
The list is bogus without the Reverend Horton Heat on there.
Bless you for that photo. Just finished their biography by the way.
He wrote a couple of great songs, “Holiday Road” and “Dancin’ Across the U.S.A.”, for National Lampoon’s Vacation but they’re hard to find.
Blues, Hendrix...whatever.
