I agree. I saw them years back with Sammy in St Louis. Eddie looked bad then.. pail and just no energy. He never missed a lick and made his solos look effortless. Great talent and a great show.Im surprised he lasted this long
Guitarist can mean different things to different folks. As far as his ability to play a guitar, he's not even close to the greatest. A lot of great guitar players aren't very entertaining, so maybe it is just emotions and performance that make people claim he is the greatest. I don't care for him and have never seen him live, so I must judge on skill alone.I saw them in '79 or '80. He was a good guitarist. Not "the greatest guitarist who ever lived" as I keep hearing people say, but a very good guitarist.
No, you didn't say that. I've just been hearing a lot of people say it. Sorry if you thought I meant you.Well I didn't say he was the greatest, just my favorite. But in my book Eddie and Randy were two of the greatest, that's just my opinion I don't know jack about playing guitar, but always wished I could play. Their styles just appealed to me I guess that's why I liked them both, it just a matter of opinion like The Real Porkchop said his hero is Angus, I particularly don't care for Angus but he can definitely play, no doubt about it. And I like AC/DC, but of you were to ask my late grandpa who was the greatest guitarist, he would tell you Roy Clark hands down.
