Don't mess with Willie, man. He's no Hendrix, but the man is a great musician, and has a great style and sense of history.
Some of Dave Gilmour's best work in recent years was with Paul McCartney. He plays ALL the lead on McCartney's great 1999 album, "Run Devil, Run". For those of you who love unadulterated, pure Rock n' Roll....look for it.

But no sense of timing. The man can't find the beat.Don't mess with Willie, man. He's no Hendrix, but the man is a great musician, and has a great style and sense of history.
Sorry Guns
Willie does have some great songs (isn't much of a singer though he is better than most of today's country music singers.) But great musician? Nah.
Nelson's written some great songs, but they're done best by others (with the possible exception of 'Always on My Mind'.

Rolling Stone's top 100 greatest guitar players
old thread, but just wanted to add my two cents that Lindsey Buckingham and Adrian Belew were seriously bad omissions from that list.
Also would have liked to have seen Marc Ribot, Tom Waits' sometime-guitarist, make that list; great style

Since this was the first threat I could see about guitarists, I just wanted to lay out a comment.
I am no bnig fan of the Rolling Stones, however have to admit they have some great songs.
One of the ones I was just listening to reminds me that this is one of the best guitar songs:
'Undercover of the Night'.
There is some great, 'nasty' guitar work in here by Keith. I love it! Overall I'm not a fan of his playing, but her reallly shines here. It's got a hard, blues feel, and laying it over that fantastic rhythm section is fantastic. And, have to admit, Mik's vocals are pretty darn creative ... the inflection he puts in singing is definately original..
well, there you go. my

I'm no big fan of the Stones either, but I agree with you about Undercover of the Night.
Reminds me of another hard-edged Stones song I really liked: One Hit to the Body. I don't remember if was it from the same album as Undercover of the Night. Whatever the case, just the fact that the Stones could still crank out good tracks like these in the '80s -- 20 years into the band's existence -- had me impressed. I may not love the Stones, but I have to admire their longevity.

"One Hit..." is on Dirty Work, which is a universally crappy album imo, but "One Hit..." is a great song. Unfortunately for Keith Richards, the solo is played by Jimmy Page.

I used to remember the story.....
I think that "Dirty Work" was being recorded at the same time as one of The Firm albums.
But I seriously can't remember. I know MTV made a really big deal about it at the time (ahhhh, the salad days when MTV played music).

I've earned all my grays!!
(which I promptly color)
Heh, I was 13.
MTV played a lot of videos up until around '89 or '90. It was around then that the shows really started taking over; Remote Control, Unplugged, TRW, the Dan Cortese sports show, etc.
