Caruso is a good choice for a hero. He may be regarded as the first star of recorded music. He signed a contract in 1902, Victor Company. At that time the record was only a tiny toy, but Caruso star status thanks to its increased considerably. �'�

December 23 BIRTHDAYS

Happy Birthday to DAVE MURRAY (Iron Maiden) (Born: 1956)

(Gary, you probably know a good clip featuring a great performance by Dave Murray. Share.)

DAVE MURRAY as known by Adrian Smith

Dave and I grew up in the same area of London and I think we probably met at the local youth club, through a mutual friend called Dave McLaughlin. I knew that Dave McLaughlin was already playing guitar and I told him that I was a singer. I wasn’t, but I thought I’d get in with these guys! Then I think Dave Mac introduced me to Dave Murray and we started playing together; they played guitar and I sang.

When I first met him, he was a complete Hendrix nut and he loved Robin Trower and Santana, but I think he likes more blues based stuff these days. Back then, he had two guitars - he was very professional! His spare guitar from Woolworths wasn’t working, so I bought it off him for five quid and my dad fixed it, and that was my first guitar. It was a really nice guitar, as you can imagine!

Dave Mac drifted out of the band into other things, and Dave Murray and I carried on playing together for a few years until he decided to broaden his horizons and eventually he joined Iron Maiden. I carried on with the band we’d had, which became Urchin; he actually came back into the band for a while after he fell out with Iron Maiden’s singer, but then he went back to them. Before they did the first album, Iron Maiden asked me to join them, but my band was doing quite well, so I turned it down. Then they asked me again in 1980. I think Dave rang up and said, 'Look, I think you really should do it' and I did.

Dave is so easy-going and he’s a quiet guy. He has his moments, but generally, he goes with the flow. If you had six guys like Bruce or six guys like Steve in the band well, you need a combination of personalities. That’s what the chemistry of the band’s all about. In fact, I guess Dave and I are fairly similar. We’re both pretty laid-back and we’ve always got on very well.

Another good thing about Dave is that he’s always got a smile on his face. He has good energy, which is always a good quality to have in a band.

He’s a very consistent player, so it’s hard to pick his best moment on ‘Dance Of Death’, but the song ‘Rainmaker’ is one of my favourites and he wrote that with Steve, so I suppose I’d have to say that really.

Dave’s a very good guitarist, but he’s not the kind of guy who tries to outdo everybody. There’s enough scope in Iron Maiden’s music for all three guitarists to express themselves. The phrase 'Let the music do the talking' springs to mind when you talk about Dave. He’s always been able to express himself very well through the guitar.

He’s got his own style and sound, and that’s a rare thing. Everyone who plays guitar wants to have that and he always has, even when he’d just started playing. We could plug into the same amp and he’d still sound like him. If you hear Dave playing, you know it’s Iron Maiden straight away.

MOST UNDERRATED GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME

Right here he is 🤐

Here is a song from 1997, which, by your description, "sucks" but is in reality fucking awesome/quote]

Mr Gary,

Yes the Stones contributed in the Rock'n Roll history I'm the last to disagree but one should know when to stop and hand over to a next generation

The Stones imitated every music style when the Glimmer Twins ran out of inspiration after the Goats Head Soup album

Listen to Black and Blue not much Stones about it.
They tried ever since but simply didn't " have " it anymore

As for Richards, he even can't play the guitar he knows a few riffs and that's it
Listen to Sympathy for the Devil on Get your Ya Ya's out with Mick Taylor and then to the version on Love you Live with that monkey Ron Wood they both can't play!!!!!!!!

Obviously Mr Gary you don't understand music so well otherwise you wouldn't bring a poor example
if you had placed" Gimme Shelter" i would have taken your comment serious but didn't change my view on the Stones

Kind regards

Rock Socket

I understand music perfectly well, thank you very much. I understand that music is only a theory.

I agree about Ron Wood, he is not the greatest guitar player. But I will not even respond 2 your comment about Keith Richards for it is not worthy of one.

The Stones still "have it" even today. Yes, they have dabbled in many genres, but they are, and always have been, about the blues.

I would suggest that you maybe check out a few of my threads/posts before you state that I

"don't understand music"

Now, as for the guitar playing of the Stones I will present a couple 2 represent said ability.

Link

Do you know who plays bass on this song?

Keith Richards does.

Link

That's right, Keith Richards does. Can you play this song on bass guitar?

One of the instruments I play is bass. And IMO this is pretty fucking good bass playing.

The Rolling Stones - Sympathy For The Devil

In closing, for I have wasted 2 much time on this already, I present one more Stones song for guitar playing consideration.

Can't you hear me knocking- Rolling Stones

I rest my case.

Have a nice day Sock Puppet

Aftermath (1966) is my favourite Rolling Stones LP, "Satisfaction" was released in 65, "Sympathy For The Devil" in 68 on Beggars Banquet... I couldn't disagree more.
