Originally posted by Arvestaked Well this all started with RS List. If I remember correctly, it wasn't Top 100 Electric guitarists. They just filled it up with electric guitarists because they want money. The ignorant buy what they identify with. John Fusciante and the penis from the White Stripes probably said to themselves, "Wow, I didn't know I was better than Robert Fripp!" And as for them being different instruments, my guitarist friend would disagree with you. One is an easier form of the other. It allows you to tap into electronics that do all the work for you. If you know how to play guitar learning to use the toys is a piece of cake.

First of all, this "ignorant" person didn't buy it, I just read it, and most "ignorant" people that buy RS are rock and roll fans not flamenco fans. This was VOTED by the way, but the masses.

Second of all, no one is going to agree on this since obviously everyones 'tastes' differ, but for the most part it is agreed by all that Jimi Hendrix is a God with the Electric Guitar. You don't like it fine, you think there are better people, fine, but apparently they are too late or just can't get as famous if they are as good as you proclaim them to be. If they are Flamenco, well comparing that to the Electric guitar is just silly.

Lastly, the White Stripes are nothing but the biggest xxxxing crap to come to life, a total rip off of Led Zeppelin and The Pixies. Anyone who likes them should be skinned.

Is Joe Satriani still around? I have a couple of his cd's when I listened to him in the early 90's. What's your opinion of him?

[Arvestaked]

Joe Satriani is technically very good. But I find his music to be boring. The Extremist is his only good album and even that gets tiring quickly. But the guy's fingers are crazy.

I saw him a couple of years ago on the G3 tour.

iron maiden //strange world

The only place where you can dream,
living here is not what it seems.
Ship of white light in the sky,
nobody there to reason why.
Here I am,
I'm not really there,
smiling faces ever so rare.
A let's walk in deepest space,
living here just isn't the place.
Stalks of light come from the ground,
when I cry there isn't a sound.
All my feelings cannot be held,
I'm happy in my new strange world.
Shades of green grasses twine,
girls drinking plasma wine.
A look at love, a dream unfolds,
living here, you'll never grow old.
Don't you hear me call? Ooh

prince//purple rainP

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand

Purple rain Purple rain

I only want to see you, only want to see you
In the purple rain


pink floyd// hey you

Hey You Lyrics
Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

kansas // dust in the wind

I close my eyes, only for a moment,and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, of curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind

the cars // drive

who's gonna tell you when it's too late
who's gonna tell you things aren't so great
you can't go on thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight
who's gonna pick you up when you fall
who's gonna hang it up when you call
who's gonna pay attention to your dreams
who's gonna plug their ears when you scream
you can't go on thinking nothing's wrong
who's gonna drive you home tonight
who's gonna hold you down when you shake
who's gonna come around when you break


the cure // love song

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel
Like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like i am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel
Like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like
I am fun again


However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel
like i am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Bob Dylan - My Back Pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Girls' faces formed the forward path
From phony jealousy
To memorizing politics
Of ancient history
Flung down by corpse evangelists
Unthought of, though, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

A self-ordained professor's tongue
Too serious to fool
Spouted out that liberty
Is just equality in school
"Equality," I spoke the word
As if a wedding vow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Beastie Boys, Girls:

Girls - all I really want is girls

And in the morning it's girls

Cause in the evening it's girls

_

I like the way that they walk

And it's chill to hear them talk

And I can always make them smile

From White Castle to the Nile

_

Back in the day

There was this girl around the way

She liked by home-piece M.C.A.

He said he would not give her play

I asked him, "Please?" - he said, "You may."

Her pants were tight and that's ok

If she would dance - I would D.J.

We took a walk down to the bay

_

I hope she'll say, "Hey me and you should hit the hay!"

I asked her out - she said, "No way!"

So I broke North with no delay

I heard she moved real far away

That was two years ago this May

I seen her just the other day

Jockin' Mike D. to my dismay

_

Girls - to do the dishes

Girls - to clean up my room

Girls - to do the laundry

Girls - and in the bathroom

Girls - that's all I really want is girls

Two at a time - I want girls

With new wave hairdos - I want girls

I ought to whip out my - girls, girls, girls, girls, girls!

[Arvestaked]

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don't be afraid to care
Leave but don't leave me
Look around and choose your own ground

Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be

Run, rabbit run
Dig that hole, forget the sun
And when at last the work is done
Don't sit down it's time to dig another one

For long you live and high you fly But only if you ride the tide
And balanced on the biggest wave
You race towards an early grave

[Arvestaked]

So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell, blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
