He is cool but, I am not a hard core fan of his. However, I do feel that he is a good musician and I liked his version of Oy e Com Va, and Black Magic Women.

Santana after Jimi was my main guitar influence. All my other guitar influences are basically Jimi and Carlos mixed. I have all of Santana's albums, cds, whatever. Yeah, I love Carlos. It's cool how he always wears brothers on his t-shirts, i.e., Jimi, Miles, etc.

"I'm not Regan"

Carlos is performing with Buddy Guy this weekend at the San Francisco Blues Festival.He's also producing a new CD for Buddy.The next Santana CD will be released in 2005,Clive Davis is the executive producer.

Same here! What is your favorite Santana album? My favorite album is...


"Borboletta" (1974)


This is a classic Santana album!

There's an undergound artist who goes by the name of Carlos Satan, some of his stuff is quite decent. He has also collaborated with a person who calls himself Andy Christ.

My favorite Santana albums right now are:
(1972), and " Amigos" (1976)

'Welcome' is AMAZING,isn't it? The track "Yours Is The Light" is so incredibly moody and haunting.I play that song over and over and over.So beautiful! That CD was remastered last year with a bonus track.

'Amigos' is probably the FUNKIEST thing Carlos has ever done! Songs like "Let Me" and "Tell Me Are You Tired" are straight up R&B/funk.The last track on this album---the gospel-flavored "Let It Shine"---is superb! This is the album I really want them to remaster,along with it's sensational follow-up 'Festival' (an album that deserves a thread of it's own,lol).

, I agree with all of the above!

The first 3 are my fave.
Santana
Abraxas
Santana III
I also dig Amigos. "Europa" is one of my favorite pieces of his. Some of the first solos I learned on the guitar was that song and damn near everything off of his first 3 albums. Neal Schon from Journey was getting down on those early albums as well. He's another childhood guitar fave of mine.

Caravanserai has been in real heavy rotation around my way lately
