| Likewise, anyone who says James Williamson's playing came from "no known musical vocabulary" has either never heard of Keith Richards and Jeff Beck, or, as in Iggy's case, is a pathological bullshitter.
The clue is in "Suddenly there were classics worthy of comparison to "Street Fighting Man" and "Jumping Jack Flash." | |

You want a medal for being ignorant? Or just the chance to show it off? Yes - please elucidate my ignorance and your obvious intellectual supremacy once again. But first... Can you draw a compositional comparison to Beck, or is it the technical virtuosity you're referring to? Last time I checked, Beck doesn't even use a fucking pick - and James' playing is based on a lightning fast strum hand....with a pick. Jeff uses the tremolo bar like a separate instrument, whereas James doesn't use a tremolo at all. James plays riffs, whereas Jeff plays single note speed runs....shall I continue, or has it become obvious again that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about and just camp out here to make people look inferior with your witty and engaging commentary? Oh I know - it must have been the haircut you were talking about, or the size of their cocks. prick | |

(I bet they were) It's pretty simple really, go familiarize yourself with his playing when he was in The Yardbirds, live and studio, and listen to the way he plays chords and especially leads, then, if you still can't hear it I suggest you take James Williamson's word for it, he's said it enough times over the years. | |

I'll have to give that a listen again, I know from reading his posts on FB that he is a Jeff Beck fan, but then most guitar players of James's age would have liked Jeff Beck/Yardbirds and Keith Richards/Stones. | |

Seeing is believing and since you read it, it must be true, right? Right. But - when you're talking about a musicial vocabulary, you're talking about what something sounds like - not what you've read about the player. My guess - Elmore James and Hubert Sumlin were influences too - does this mean he sounds like em' - nope. Sorry to disagree with you Pee-Tree (this is obviously where I went wrong), I don't hear it. BTW - my hands WERE shaking, how did you know? | |

BTW - my hands WERE shaking, how did you know? To take this argument to the extreme, then all Rock Guitar players are ripping off Son House and all shredders are ripping off Paganini. He might have taken some technique (we all do), but the Stooges play or sound nothing like the Yardbirds, at least to me | |

I have no idea who you are or what your problem is, beyond some fantasy you seem to be having about who and what I am, and I really couldn't care less about it or you. For the record, you haven't "called me" on anything, all you've done is disagreed. You wrote ... "Last time I checked, Beck doesn't even use a fucking pick - and James' playing is based on a lightning fast strum hand....with a pick." (Jeff Beck played with a pick all the way through his time with The Yardbirds, there may be one or two songs were he doesn't, but for the most part he did.)

I don't understand how you can love the Stooges and hate the Dolls. Just as there is a Holy Trinity of British R&R (Beatles/Stones/Who), the influence of another trinity (VU/Stooges/Dolls) is just as influential. MJG, I don't agree with this trinity idea – the Dolls were not in the same league as Stooges, let alone The VU. They were recycling Chuck Berry with a NY drag aesthetic. There was nothing innovative about their sound. The next stage of NY innovation was Patti Smith, Television and then the likes of Mars and Teenage Jesus (who explicity rejected the tired Chuck Berry influence of UK punk and the NYDolls. | |
