Everybody called him Herpes, and he kept having to say, "It's Hermes, not Herpes!" More incisive musical analysis from the Great White North. Little known mythological fact: Herpes was the legendary Greek god of running sores. His twin sister was Hernia, the goddess of heavy objects. |

Sorry but I have to agree with above comments. Same licks, over & over, and serious dearth of creativity. In most instances, the same two chords (Am, G) as well. I grew weary of Carlos about 25 years ago. Pity, but the well's been dry for a long time. |

Granted, this is posted from Switzerland, but here 'tis, in re: John Lee Hooker's "Dimples" from user Sunny_Day Posted: Jul 28, 2005 - 08:51 < Reply > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't get me wrong. I like JL Hooker and his blues, but somehow many of his tunes sound similar. Why? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So they do post, and they are as lame as the critics of Santana- these musicians have what's called a style. You could say all Blues Traveler songs "sound" the same, or Tom Petty, or My Morning Jacket. Its their sound. |

I went to a Santana concert in Grant Park where there were 300,000 people, black, white, and Latino, and each and every one was groovin to the music and lovin each other. FEEL THE LOVE!!!! That's what it's all about!!!! (stands down from soap box) I've seen Santana several times and it brings the same effect time after time. That's it - a little part of "La Dolce Vita" ! |

That's what it's all about!!!! (stands down from soap box) What she said. I first saw Santana at the Carousel Ballroom (eventually rechristened "Fillmore West"--hadda love that Bill Graham) in San Francisco just as their first LP came out. Amazing band. After their set, the band calmly packed up and walked out the front door. Sez something about the very brief sense of utter equality (well, except for the Angels and the dope dealers) that still dominated the scene even after the Summer of Love (heh, heh). I happened across David Brown (bass) and said something foolish and inadequate. He smiled and hugged me. |

| th3boon (chicago) | Posted: Jun 01, 2006 - 10:01 is this actually new santana? |
| Kevstar (San Diego) | Posted: Jun 01, 2006 - 10:01 Santana is an over-rated guitar player. His tone is is irritating and he does not play with nearly as much feeling as other guitarists. I saw him with Jeff Beck and Jeff Beck was by far the better player. |

| Beastie (Living with 22 million+, same city) | Posted: Apr 26, 2006 - 08:11 This song is brilliant and heavenly. BTW, sad story about the elevator smell trap. If an artist believes in not taking showers, he/she shouldn't take elevators with other people in it. I love him and his music, but he should be clean, regardless of his talent. Or go live in 1960's France. |

Trey Anastasio is a close second for maximum sustain... somewhere there is a bootleg of a live show with Phish and Santana - the guitars could melt paint! |
| hippiechick | Posted: Apr 05, 2006 - 12:21 Nothing like Santana to uplift the spirits. I saw him las summer at a 4th of July concert, with around 300,000 of his closest friends. What a show!!! What a man!!! |

His guitar playing from song to song really DOES sound the same...I've heard lots of his music, many times. I agree that it sounds similar a lot although "the same is exaggerating I think. What I like about Santana is that he has an awesome band which gets to play a lot. (compared to other "great guitarists'" bands) I can think of a handful of guitar prodigies that basically just used their bands to provide a jam track for their soloing. |

It is funny how I have read so many statements full of cultural prejudice, just when you think that our society is getting over it. Comments like..." The music and the guitar sounds always the same", WTF! it is like saying that all Mexican people look the same, follow my drift? You may like or not Santana but when people make ignorant statemenst like that, you know they are not familiar with Santana's career and Latin Music overall. IMHO of course. Wow...you may be a solid 23 years older than me, but grow up. I LOVE Latin jazz, a la Cubanissmo, Buena Vista Social Club, and the like. I like salsa music, in general. Santana? His guitar playing from song to song really DOES sound the same...I've heard lots of his music, many times. Where in my rant, or any of these other anti-Santana comments, did somebody say, "I think Latin culture is inferior"? Even if somebody really did dislike all Latin music, that doesn't convey a bias against all Latin culture. I don't Thai food, but I'm still fascinated by their culture and history. I think you have a bias towards anybody who doesn't like the music that you do, and I've seen that in some of your past posts. |

Lack of appreciation is not equiavlent to cultural prejudice. I think a lot of classical music sounds the same. Does it? Probably not, but I haven't listened to enough of it to appreciate the differences. IMHO, I don't think it makes people ignorant. |
