Don Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Tonight I happen to be listening to Jammin George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers 30 Years of Rock , good CD. He may be one of the best at using the slide. My favorite is the remake of "Movin It On Over". Feedback?......Don Don May I caught you a delicious bass.
hoglaw Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 It's not a "slide" per say, but Robert Randolph plays the best steel guitar around at the moment.
Flysmallie Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 It's not a "slide" per say, but Robert Randolph plays the best steel guitar around at the moment. I agree
Terry Beeson Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Pedal steel with distortion, phase, wah.... yeah, it ain't yo' daddy's steel guitar. Wonder what Zane Beck would say? George Thorogood is a good rocker, but his slide style is his... But nobody will ever touch Duane Allman on slide...

jscheetz Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Yeah George is fun - still dig listening to the raw energy on the first couple of records. I did a show with him a couple of years ago and even though he is getting older, he still had that cool nasty rock sound and vibe. And he is a character. Robert R is awesome - did you hear his stuff on a cd called "The Word"? Very cool bits on there - that was back when he was 2 years old - hehehehehehe well at least pretty young. Eric Sardinas is kind of a modern George - real raw - those guys are more "rough" and Robert and Duane are more finesse - of course I think maybe the best and most musical slide guy would have to be Derek Trucks - he is amazing. Two years ago we were playing this club in Fayettville and when we pulled in to setup looked at the club next door and the marquee said "Tonight - Derek Trucks". Things you don't want to see before the gig!! Not across town, or across the street mind you - ACROSS THE PARKING LOT!!! Geeeesh - bad karma I guess. The good news was that we were done before he was and got to go over and watch awhile.

Terry Beeson Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 Who did you play with in Fayetteville? Careful how you answer, Jeff... I'm not sure we all want to hear... Have you heard Jeff's playing, hoglaw? Check out his website if not.

zander Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 is that the guy who had the hit about "The Old man down the road" and in the video they followed a cable all through the swamp?
Danimal Posted April 16, 2008 Posted April 16, 2008 I've seen Derek Trucks join Widespread Panic onstage several times--simply amazing. Dan-o RELEASE THOSE BROWNIES!!
