you guys are insane.Prince has stated MANY times that Carlos Santana is his main influence when it comes to guitar-playing.If you like Prince's guitar-playing,you should know where he got the inspiration from.

OMG did anyone hear that recording of Yngwie throwing a tantrum on a plane cuz the hostess spilled some water on him?

"You've released the fucking fury...YOU'VE RELEASED THE FUCKING FURY!!!...if that bitch wants a war...she's got a war"

Its the greatest piece of recorded sound I own.

You need to get outta that box and get you some "Electric Ladyland" happening. Or we're gonna have to send you back to school...

Hendrix all damn day ... he is and always will be the king.

LS: Why do you always turn people's opinions back towards their own creativity? The topic isn't, "who's better, Hendrix, Santana, or yourself?" Let a guitar player have an opinion about another guitar player. They're not saying, "I play better than both, so I can judge", they're saying, "I play guitar, and from what I've heard, I like that player better".

I like Hendrix better. Some Santana I like, and if Hendrix HAD lived, I'm sure he'd have put out as many duds as winners. Santana's weakness is that he can't sing, so he's limited in what he can do, just like Kenny Wayne Shepherd - they'll always be limited by their singers.[/quote]

***2 easy...why? U should know this already...but let this B the last time I explain.

people like that who give there so called opinion like that R not being realistic or fair. Forget all of Santana's new music 4-get the singers who do the vocals...as a pure guitarist U can't just crap on the mans playing or his musical offerings and his undying love 4 performing live all these years...

When I read something like that...its sounds 2 much like a personal attack 4 whatever reason. He's not being a critic out of being a fellow gutiar player...he's states his opinion out of being a closed minded ass-hole.

So if your going 2 give this man zero credit 4 his amazing craft, then yeah I'm saying let me see "U" play better?? It takes being in the mans shoes 2 know what he's done in music ain't everyday easy. So 2 U, sound intelligent more respectful and fair then maybe I won't call U out. Makes me sick 2 read "some" people on here that act like they can do better then the ones they play critic on. If U were able 2 do half of what these artist can do, U yourself might B apart of the music world and not a Org critic.

As far as what U call Santana's weakness? Silly U, he's not trying 2 B the lead singer...never has. He might add vocals as others r singing etc...but his main objective has always been gutiar player. He's a musician not a singer. So what U call being a weakness holds no sand. The mans not a selfish control freak 2 where he tries doing it all...he understands his roll, why don't U?

Subject done Otan, where U get your common sense from a trash can?

Ok...for the sake of intelligent conversation let me rephrase my initial point

I think Santana is fucking crap

for the same reasons that I think oysters are fucking crap

its not cuz I taste better, its because they taste like fucking crap to me

To those of you who aren't into Santana,I want you to listen to these CDs...


***'Abraxas'(1970)
***'Borboletta'(1974)
***'Lotus'(2-CD Live Set) (1975)
***'Sacred Fire' (Live in South America) (1993)


Forget 'Supernatural',y'all need to hear the REAL Santana,where his guitar takes center stage.Check out these CDs and then we can talk...lol...

PRINCE

Hendrix. Santana bores me to tears.

DavidEye said:

you should know by now that Prince respects and adores anyone that kisses his ass, and that can change from year to year.

both at the same time, that is...PRINCE!

PS: Jimi without a doubt to give a more straightforward answer
