Dave or Jimmy
Dave or Jimmy
Navarro or Page.
I take Page hands down.

Re: Dave or Jimmy
yeah definitely Page. It's near impossible to top his body of work and the huge influence he's been on a ton of people, only Jimi Hendrix rivals him in my book. But Dave's not light years away from him at all, much closer than a lot of people. People like Slash fx Dave is the Page of the last 25 years though for sure, super talent

Page. He was amazing between 69 and 75. Pretty dynamic too, recording, producing, engineering in addition to his writing, playing and non stop drug use. You don't have Dave without Page.
Re: Dave or Jimmy
I love all the nods to Zepp on the Them Crooked Vultures album - Grohl's first drum fill, Josh Homme's guitar tones and riffing on a number of tracks, plus some guy called John Paul Jones...
And to think the same engineer was lined up to record JA at one point. I suppose it's obvious why that wouldn't have worked.

Page and Hendrix are the father of modern rock guitar. Those two have probably inspired more people to pick up a guitar than all other players combined. Dave is an amazing player and his playing on the new record I really like but he's no JP.
Froosh and Jack White would me the contemporary equivalent to Jimi and Jimmy.

Don't ever mention Jack White in the same sentence as Jimmy Page. And I assume you meant Frusciante, in which case, ditto.ant wrote:LOL!Tyler Durden wrote:Is this a serious question?

Re: Dave or Jimmy
Asking to choose between Jimmy Page and Dave Navarro is like asking to choose between chocolate ice cream and dog poo. I'm not meaning this as a shot at Dave...it's just that the answer is obvious.ant wrote:LOL!Tyler Durden wrote:Is this a serious question?

What's your issue with Jack White? He's an amazing player, producer and writer. Works in different genres and plays multiple instruments. Living for music.

Dave's my fave guitar player - simply because of the variety of styles he can easily come up with like on OHM, his great great work on Deconstruction or even on the new JA.
And i think Dave himself would have a good laugh at this thread.
Re: Dave or Jimmy
Jimmy. They're in different leagues on nearly all levels, but, to Dave's credit, in his generation, there are only a handful of soloists who can lord over their moment as he can. Dave's a brilliant player, probably somewhat underrated because he comes off as sort of a shredding posing rock star but he's actually a spectacular craftsman. and obviously his recent dip into the type of sonics he tosses around on TGEA expands his legacy that much more.
But this is still a silly comparison. Jimmy's most important body of work rivals anyone who's ever picked up the instrument except Jimi. And over 40 years later, when he picks up his axe, he remains mouth agape startlingly good. i saw a show at roseland a few years back he played with the black crowes. they played almost all zep tunes. generally speaking i can take or leave (mostly leave) the black crowes, but they were a fine backing band and page was just ridiculously good. (and that robinson tool sang plant's parts well and with reverence.)
better question here would probably have been dave or slash.
letterman over kimmel was the best answer.

Re: Dave or Jimmy
Just watch "This Might Get Loud" to see the differences between Page and White. Jack's a talented musician, no doubt about it but Page is lights years ahead of him in every respect. Page paved the way for most hard rock guitarists from the 70's onwards.ant wrote:What's your issue with Jack White? He's an amazing player, producer and writer.

Re: Dave or Jimmy
I don't disagree with that at all. It's an impossible comparison to begin with since you can't have the latter players without the former. If both players were contemporary then you can have more valid comparison. But JW and JF are both current players that continue to push themselves musically are so completely dedicated to music. Of course they aren't going to take it as far as Hendrix and Page because they are picking it up at a later point in time. It's like saying Thomas Edison isn't as important as Ben Franklin.Pandemonium wrote:Just watch "This Might Get Loud" to see the differences between Page and White.

Why do so many RHCP fans seem to think Frusciante is the second coming of Jimi Hendrix?
If you really want to consider Hendrix's otherworldly approach to guitar, and his unique way of playing in contrast to his peers, then today's modern equivalent is someone like Tom Morello. Not some boring minimalist like Frusciante that sounds like every other asshole with a strat.

I like early RATM and Audioslave mostly because I'm a Cornell fan but he's not on any list of mine.
Re: Dave or Jimmy
You wouldn't make that connection? Really?
If Hendrix was alive today he would sound EXACTLY like Morello.

How in the world do you what Hendrix would sound like today? If anyone said to you in '91 that TGEA is what Jane's was going to sound like in 20 years you'd probably type caps at them too.
Re: Dave or Jimmy
ok, no, you're right. John Frusciante is clearly what Hendrix would sound like today. Hendrix would be a wacked out heroin addict that couldn't come up with an interesting riff or unique sound if his life depended on it. Spot on.
