Wow...thumbs down?? ... By: KingHopeMusic. on 10 Aug 10, 22:46:03 Wow...thumbs down??? Can't be another guitar player.... gotta be trolls. I mean, just out of mutual respect.... Roy is just one of those truly unique players. Never seemed interested in playing " standard every day" riffs. LOVED the guy for that!! Great post. Thumbs UP from me friend. ~KK

Listened to and ... By: 1954tele. on 23 Feb 10, 08:43:37 Listened to and watched Roy since I was 10 years old, was fortunate enough to know him and can say what Roy had couldnt be captured in a studio recording. Don't have the words to describe his talent. Hard for me to say but I knew Roy was struggling, dont know why but those of us who knew him thru his music could tell his heart wasn't in it for the last 4-5 years. RIP=Roy; We love you forever.

Thank you ... By: melmel075. on 09 Aug 10, 14:53:57 Thank you SnakeSSSStretcher ! Roy Buchanan was phenomenal! His singing in this performance is inspired -- and the elegant brilliance of his guitar tone soars!
I wonder if the roars of the crowds for gimmickry ended up bringing him down -- as perhaps was the case for Hendrix. The crowds too often go gaga over uninspired antics and miss the art and soul in music.
So nice to see good footage of Roy back when his hair was black! Thanks!

.. well, I'm glad ... By: ugmodude. on 26 Sep 09, 21:42:26 .. well, I'm glad to hear it. I was referring to this particular video, which to me gave the impression of a very small venue, like the dives I used to play myself in the 70's..
I told my son when he decided to play guitar, to listen to Roy Buchanan. "Don't try to play like him, just listen to his sould pour out..." when Robert Johnson sang about Hell Hounds on his trail, it evoked a powerful image. When Roy played it, the mortal terror would flow like a current from his sould to yours.
I agree concerning ... By: washashore94. on 24 Sep 09, 16:26:02 I agree concerning the Jonas bros etc. and I have no idea where this particular show was filmed but you are wrong about anything being "reduced" towards the end of Roy's life. He had major selling albums with Alligator records in 85, 86, and 87. I saw him live each of those years and he sold out nice size theaters night after night all over the world. He was amazing and successful till the night he died.
It's sad to see ... By: ugmodude. on 26 Jun 09, 21:47:26 It's sad to see talentless pukes like the Jonas Brothers all over the TV, when a true genius like Roy was reduced to playing bars for drunken German tourists or whatever toward the end of his life... RIP Roy.

when Jeff Beck ... By: melmel075. on 09 Aug 10, 15:13:01 when Jeff Beck dedicated one of his best pieces to Roy in the 70's -- it was a sign that Roy had a brilliance that only the best could even hope to approach.
Roy once said to a fan who yelled up at him: 'you're #1' -- "there is no such thing as #1" ... I think what that really means, when you get down to it, is this: you can't measure the immeasurable.
There should be a shrine somewhere of a statue of Roy and a guitar somewhere -- with pieces like this playing. thanks SnakeSSSStretcher!
