Black Sabbath never had a masterpiece.

I mean, his first major tour of the States (after he had gotten popular in England) had him fucking opening for the Monkees, of all people.
And so, the trend where everyone leaves after the opening act was thusly born. :Spin:

the best heavy blues/rock live album EVER.

Iofthestorm: all the building blocks for metal were in place, it took Sabbath to put them together.
Bullshit. Tony Iommi would have still created his sound had he lived in a glass box closed environment all his life. Thankfully he had his fingers lobbed off, and thusly the power chord was born.

I think you need to give Hendrix (guitar pyrotechnics and effects),
The man was a dirty primitive. 3rd rock from the cave.

Clapton (the sheer heaviness of Cream),
He was a fag. Sunshine of my arse.

Beck (incredible guitar tones),
Take away his slide, and you're left with stubs. His Fenders were probably Mexican made too.

the Beatles (first widely acknowledged use of feedback on record)
Liverpool was the gay capital of the world. Still is.

Sabbath and Maiden is all you need. Nothing before, nothing after.
 
Bwahahahaha best post since you called John Lennon a homo. I do agree that Clapton was, and is, a fag though. :loco:
 
Lizard feels me. I grew up hearing that shite OVER AND OVER again, and it seems every few years some new friend of mine discovers that acoustic mess and acts like its the Best New Thing. :yuk:

neither Clapton, Page or Beck has produced anything of note for the last 25 yrs.

if I hear the accoustic versions of Layla or Tears in Heaven one more time I'm going to gouge my own ear bones out with a spoon.
There is only the acoustic version of Tears In Heaven ;) and the acoustic Layla ain't so bad. Can't beat the original though. Funny how Clapton only wrote the lyrics and rhythm guitar for it though. The riff and solo are Duiane Allman's, and the piano stuff belongs to Bobby Whitlock. Dear me!

Mind you, what a fucking solo that is :cool: I used to headbang to that song in the car when I was, like, 6 years old or younger...
 
The Dominoes > Derek

I need to get that album, it's only Clapton's solo material I don't like.
 
SLO rules, I love it up there (about 4 hours north from me). Now along with some of the best beer in the world, Nate as a local resident, the location where my Ernie Ball bass was made, and now this newfound knowledge, I hereby declare San Luis Obispo METUHL CITY OF AMERICA.
