I want to hear a QPR version of Business. |
| Dan C. 28.01.2008 14:23 |
I too would love to hear that (on both counts, actually). |
| AlexRocks 28.01.2008 14:52 |

I'd love to hear it on the new tour as well. But "Sleeping On The Sidewalk" will always be on top of my list of songs that I want to hear Brian singing on tour. |

That is a really good version, and the type of song Brian sings well. When this was released on Star Fleet, Eric Clapton said that Let me Out had some nice bits, but that Bluesbreaker (Dedicated to EC) was brutal, and that neither Brian or EVH knew how to play or approach the blues as guitarists. |

I don't think Eric Clapton was on the money when he made that statement. I think he'd be right in saying that if Bluesbreaker was his basis for comparison, but Brian has better examples than that song. |

I dont want to hear a Q+PR version of and Brian solo stuff - just to boost his massive ego any more. |

I don't have the actual magazine name, but it was around the time of EC's Behind the Sun album that he was doing press for. I have a pretty enclycopaedic recall of virtually everything I've ever read, , EC, talking about the album said that Star Fleet and Let me Out had some interesting moments, but was aksed about Bluesbreaker which Brian dedicated to hin. Without saying this is verbatim, but 95% accurate he said, "it's horrible. They have no understanding of how to play the blues. They just go right at with no build up." In the past, EC commented on "that bloke from Queen" being a really good guitarist, but this isn't fabricated, he was not inmpressed with the playing of either Brian or EVH on Bluesbreaker. |

Besides, did Brian ever come out and say that it was a blues song? All I ever got from it was they were just jamming, nothing more. Anyway, if I want an opinion on what the blues sounds like, some old white british dude is the last one I'm asking. |

I suppose it depends what you mean by the blues. Since a lot of it is concerned with sex -- banging the wife or someone else's wife -- I would say there's no colour bar there. EC is as valid a bluesman as Robert Johnson in that respect. Also, oppression isn't limited to Afican Americans. Woody guthrie was white and he wrote and sang "blues" songs about the great depression. Even blues songs about slavery or incarceration aren't just for black people, unless you think blacks have some kind of genetic racial memory that white people don't also have. Why should a young black blues artist today know more about slavery than a young white blues artist? In the 1920s and 30s "the blues" was the pop music of its time -- music that people could dance to. It is held in high esteem now mostly by white people who think they are discovering some form of pure ethnic folk memory. It is mostly white people who buy blues music today and it was white people who rediscovered the likes of Robert Johnson in the 1960s, giving him the title king of the delta bluesmen, when he was a virtual unknown in hs own lifetime. |

"they just go right at with no build up." Isn't that what blues is all about? Boring chord progressions, no excitement, no build up and just long and boring crap? |
