UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread

@tablejockey - Why should we ignore somebody's opinion because they are in entertainment or the arts? Should we also ignore the opinions of computer programmers? Farmers? Uber drivers?

Musicians and entertainers are human beings just like everybody else - some are smart, some are not; they are not machines that exist for the purpose of keeping people entertained, and their opinions are just as valid as anybody else's as long as they're kept as opinions and do not incite violence. Some opinions I agree with, some opinions I find contemptible, but there you go. 

If you propose ignoring certain people's opinions in order to make the world a little calmer (a fine ideal, of course), everybody should ignore everybody else's opinions except their own. Don't know how desirable that would be even if it was possible.

The end of 70s Electric Dreams is audiophile.

But not rock.

I can listen to all curated VH in random;

Fire In The Hole

fuzztone- I tried to listen VH after their 2nd album, but quickly lost interest. VH  was still a great band, but just wasn't my thing. I also found the Sammy Halen thing of no interest, while I dig his Montrose years.

Larsman, you're reading way  too much into my comments. I simply agree with Ted's assessment of EVH's gift of guitar, and what it stood for-nothing more. No social issues involved.

I'm not a Nugent fan boy but I do appreciate what he brings when playing live and I agree with his statement about Joan Jett being on The Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists.

leadcrew-

YOU win the internet.

The thread is about Ted's view on EVH and R&R, that's it.

I saw Ted in 76, at his peak (IMO)before his "Cat Scratch Fever" and later rubbish.
