Best Santana´s Album?

Gotta love this tread! :) Lots of good music posted. I love most of the 70s rock music. Including Santana. Really, I could not care less if he was good or how good he was.

And thanks for posting the Ernest Isley clip razor edge!! I loved that song since it has been a hit. The Gary More/Phil Lynott song is one of my absolute favorites!! Great song, lot's of emotion.

UM thanks for the compliment man, I Appreciate it. :) I think Wyvern is doing a hell of a job!! And he should be credited for that. Kinda makes me proud that I picked him to take over.

It's great to see a debate like this with lot's of opinions. most of the time I shrink away from debating my taste. I mean what can you say about it basically?

You love it or you don't. Sometimes I think debating your music is a bit like debating with your friends who has the best, most sexy and smart wife. ;)

This tread had me playing lot's of Santana and 70s rock and hard rock again. :headbang:
 
Nice Gilmour vid, Crosby and Nash is an excellent touch. Dave is different voicing than the style I was showing, excluding Satch who reaches further than any of these. I'll never forget the first night I heard Dark Side of the Moon in its entirely, I must have had the most dumfounded look on my face the entire time, I was totally trippin (not on acid... but the music Im sure there was some... weed)). Same with Tulls, Thick as a Brick and Agualung, my one buddy who was older had them (8 tracks) and thats what we listened to in his car. My Rush, Zepp and Heep was a big too bombastic for him. He liked Houses of the Holy though.

Glad some of you enjoyed the vids, so thanks Hawk. Whos that Lady is the only Ernest guitar work I know, finding that live clip was great. I new that solo was smooth but never having seen him play I didnt know he was so at ease and damn the boy can flow some notes. Also didnt know he did a bit of Hendrix showboatin, so this clip was excellent for me.

I love that song and Trowers Caladonia so much when I put them on I simply cant sit still... gotta get up and groove.

So yeah, unfaithful, its all about integrity with me :worship:

Oh, shut up! :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops:

I'm the one who should be grateful for the confidence you put in me and for the suppoort my siblings ir arms at UMOS had showed since by baptism of fire.

Btw, since wue are putting our faves here, I need to put some Ritchie Blakcmore to me most passionate old school player ever:

'Temple Of The King' (live with Doogie White)



Still I'm Sad (live with Doogie White, yes I know it's a Yardbirds cover)



And sadly couldn't find a suitable version of 'A Light In The Black' (the best guitar solo in Rainbow's history) as well as 'Son Of Alerik' a great instrumetal that came as a bonus track in Deep Purple "Perfect Strangers". :worship:

I need to get me some Rainbow. Richie has the honor of being one of the origionals too. That first songs solo section is along the lines of Page playing the blues or Gilmour, in fact at times its very Comfortably Numbish, but Richie has his own identifiable voicings too.

Heres Carlos and Buddy Guy playing some straight up blues.

yeah the harmonies can't be matched by many. maybe the beach boys, ABBA and the mamas and the papas. thats about it

Head East had awesome harmonies, many of the mid-western country rock bands did and they were most likely inspired by CSN

This is a great tread indeed. Good to just talk about the good and not so good of music. I get a little tired of the BS and insults you get on some of the other places when you state your opinion. You say your opinion and some kid blasts you that "you're wrong!" Well, by definition an opinion is neither right nor worng. Maybe it's cuz I'm a bit older I don't get into big overblown arguments. Arguments online are just a waste of time. I'm Old School and proud of it. :heh:

I also like how this has become a tread that's showcasing the great guitar work of some truly great guitarists. I'm loving it.
 
I just had to erase some offensive posts. It seems that the thread starter had never read the DAMN RULES!

Hawk wrote them and I keep to enforce those for a reason, and I guess 4speedmetal summarized that reason pretty good in his last post (thanks).

So here's the voice of the law: one more insult on this thread and I will close it. I don't care if the thread starter is from my own country, the rules apply for everybody worldwide.

UMOS is an open tolerant community to a certain degree, if somebody can't play by the rules the door is open and please don't slam it on the way out.

FINAL WARNING :Shedevil:
 
No big deal to me personally. Was kind of funny, I wrote what I wrote replying to the last post from yesterday. Took my time doing it. When I finally posted it there was a few zingers right before me. I just laughed and gave a :rolleyes:

Good to have a thick skin. Not all is pease and harmony. I'd hope you would go easy on me if got a little ticked and went off.

Either way, thinking back on it, I remember playing air guitar to Black Magic Woman like my life depended on it when I was a kid. Then I played that song on Guitar Hero 2 and you couldn't wipe the smile from my face for days.
 
you have a point, Black Magic Woman (and Evil Ways) was an important song in its day, though it too has been over played.

Written by none other than Peter Green... same guy that wrote Green Manalishi

I can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to

Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand
He said, "Stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to"

:lol:

Oh Well
 
One of the all time great tunes of all time... Oh Well. The spanish guitar thing at the end sounds like it's from an old Clint Eastwood movie. Played that song and album, Then Play On, for my wife and she had no idea who it was. Like so many others, she didn't know that the Mac began as a progy blues band.

I thought that Peter Green was dead, but he's still around. Reclusive guy I guess.
 
His story with Fleetwood Mac is kinda of funny yet sad....... that old LSD claimed a few minds in its day
