Please, for the love of god, tell me you're not trying to say Keith Urban > Jimmy Page. Please, please.

I know the general public favors the Black Keys and My Morning Jacket, but it seems like this board doesn't like them. I think both put on great shows.

Took lessons from a guy once who could really play. Jimmy Page had been his idol, so he wanted to duplicate all his work.

He bought a machine that slowed down the licks and when he did he discovered that Page was very sloppy and tried to overplay in many ways. Genius is not playing as many notes as possible as fast as you can.

Guys like Joe Walsh, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Billy Gibbons and even guys like Mark Bryan and yes, Keith Urban have a subtlety that Page never possessed.

Edit: The thread is unpopular opinions right? Go ahead and think Page was great. IDGAF

Here goes nothing. Hair metal produced the most and the best lead guitarist ever and no genre has come close since.

Who the shite doesn't like MMJ? Jim James is a god IMO.

As for the Black Keys, they've rattled off a couple shitty albums lately, but their first 4-5 albums were the tits, and Patrick Carney has become one of the best producers around.

Unpopular opinion to me for damn sure


I respect the technique of guitarist like that, but it doesn't carry the emotion and soul of people like BB King, Buddy guy, SRV, Hendrix, etc.

I think with enough practice, anyone with some talent can learn metal. Not everyone can play and feel blues.

I think Drunk in Love is the most incredibly annoying song I've heard in years. I have nothing against beyonce, just think the song is so fricking terrible.


My lady friend loves the song and I have to hear that stupid shite all the time. It drives me loco.

Jam bands suck and are boring (except Phish) -The Wall by Pink Floyd is a colossal piece of shite -Never saw the big deal with Springsteen. Just meh. -I don't understand why Ween is such a big deal. I mean they're alright, but such big cult status? I don't get it. -The blues as an entire genre pretty much bores me to tears. And I've tried my whole life to like it. -Ditto with jazz

spot on
also, a lot of rappers sucks like odd future

My Morning Jacket


Hi-Ho Lounge... March 2002

I was also there to see Swearing at Motorists...

Show lasted 45 minutes at most and I was expecting some acoustic folk rock dudes (At Dawn was the record out at the time).

Scuzzy frickers with beards and flying V's playing cranked to 10... was awesome, JJ closed with the Boss' "I'm on Fire"

There are plenty great guitarists that make dogshit music. I don't care if you paint really well if all you do is self portraits and bowls of fruit.

I know you're on my side, just had to say that.
