  I hate that every time I tell someone that John Mayer is amazing, they always look at me wierd and bring up "You're body is a wonderland" or "Daughters" It sucks that such an amazing guitarist is pegged as just another pop singer....I wish that radio stations played his songs that better display his skills on the guitar....Like wait till tomorrow or Out of my Mind, just to clear up all of the misconceptions. And also, I'd like to throw in SRV as one of the all time greats along with hendrix... More...

  i agree with mike. ofcourse you have to draw from the past and add you own soul to it... but Page, Hendrix, and RHCP really added their own unique dynamic to blues, rock, soul, etc. What I meant was that Mayer and Trucks and the like don't seem to be as innovative which is discouraging, i think. I still love JM3 and any jam band but there's not a whole lot of the artists today inspire me.

  I'm not saying anything is right or wrong with each group's statements, but it's interesting to note that the younger members of this discussion are defending the artists of yesturday where the older members are talking about JM3 (new artist), which seems to be a bit of a reversal from the norm...read into it anyway you like, i just found that interesting.

  I'd like to modify my statement a touch. Staub may have pissed off the gods of eternal rock, but i find calling Frusciante the only (current) orginal somewhat neglecting of the Flea factor in his writing, because i don't think there has ever been a better pair (except cream) and Flea is the more talented one.

Beside, Zep copied sooo much of their material that to say that Page was orginal, need I say more. So today's music is copying something from the sevenites, which was copied from blakc musicians before that, which only continues from the centuries of guitar and lute playing. It's only human nature to copy (or to appear to) as human nature is unchanging.

  theres 6+ billion people in this world how can any of you sit there and compare 3 or 4 of them moving their little fingers up and down a piece of wood. they are just human beings expressing themselves, like we all can, like you or me can. no one can say who is the best. the real shame is that not many people can just enjoy the wealth of expression we have still have left.

  Christian A. Staub is a fucking peon! there's no way one could possibly overate Page or Hendrix. Derek Trucks Warren Haynes and Mayer are good at mimicking what has already been established, so they're not even close to par in creativity. In my opinion, Frusciante is probably the most innovative, kick-ass original ideas on his part
