[QUOTE="alanB, post: 10746, member: 431"] Most of the 70's English guitarests were very heavily influenced by the blues, and Jimmy Hendrix in particular. The Rolling Stones still consider themselves a Blues band! So did Deep Purple. I find that Gary Moore, Page, etc got a bit too carried away with the guitar solo as the be all and end all on its own and sort of drifted away from true Blues and created their own thing, which was great in its own sense (I love Led Zeplinn and Deep Purple), but it wasnt really the Blues which I suppose in turn lead to heavy metal of today. The thing I like about the Blues is the great rythm of the 12 bar structure, which is infectious to listen to. The current heavy metal guys have focused on the aggression possible from the guitar a bit too much and lost the rythmn (hey each to his own). They say the blues is the foundation of jazz as well (not sure what the jazz guys would say to that though). [/QUOTE]
