(31,112 posts)the greatest you never heard of because most here will have not heard of him.
I have seen almost all of the guitar players most would talk about and I cant think of anyone like this guy. But that is my opinion. As a musician myself who has seen most of the old days bands I have never seen anything like this.
For instance as I am sure you know, when Clapton first heard Jimi, he told his friends they were all in trouble because Jimi was way better than all of them, his words more or less not mine. And Jimi said Terry was his superior in everyway, as I understand it.
NOt that any of this matters, but it reminds me of who people think the best rock drummer is, and there is actually a correct answer to that one, Ginger Baker. As a drummer myself and again, having seen most of them, I agree. Clapton laughs when people try and compare Bonham or Moon to him, I see why he laughs. Not that they aren't great, but Ginger is in an entirely different league.
